We're "Home"!!!

Hi Everyone,

We wanted to share some big news with all of our friends and family, and pass along our NEW ADDRESS!!!

Everything is finally coming together with our house situation, both here in Maryland and back in St. Louis. We will be closing on our house here in Maryland on June 10th, and our house back in St. Louis on June 13th (what a nice birthday present!).

We got ALL of the news yesterday, which made for a crazy day - scheduling home inspections, finalizing insurance and lender paperwork, talking to realtors... but a good day, nonetheless.

Before I forget, I know a lot of you will ask for our new address. Please note that there is only one "N" in our street name. It's goofy, I know!



23270 Jenifer Ct.
Leonardtown, MD 20650




We may have the opportunity to move in before our closing date, so we can move all of our things out of our townhouse and St. Louis house - straight into our new house. So we're praying that that will be able to happen. If we can't, we may need to put our things into storage for a short time, which means another move. But thankfully Boeing is taking care of us in that regard!



We are going to try to make one last trip back to the Midwest in a few months (mainly for the purpose of being there for the movers in St. Louis). We can't guarantee we'll make it to see all of you. My guess right now is that we won't be able to make it to Wisconsin this summer, but we should be able to see some friends and family in the Springfield, IL/St. Louis area, who we didn't get to see at Easter. As we get closer to figuring out if and when we are coming, we'll certainly be in touch to give you the details and try to get together with as many of you as we can, in between making the sure the movers get all of our things out of the house.



Thank you for all of your prayers and encouragement through this big transition in our lives! We are so thankful for such supportive and caring friends and family, and are truly blessed by each and every one of you.



Aside from the house stuff, we are doing great. The weather this past week was amazing - in the mid-70's and sunny almost every day. But it looks like this week will make up for that - they are predicting rain almost every day this week!



Noah's job is going well, and he is getting more opportunities to fly on the aircraft he's working on, which is very exciting for him. When he flies, he gets to wear a full flight suit and military issue boots, and he looks like one of those Top Gun pilot guys! :) I managed to snap this rare image of him in his gear, and mysteriously have never seen him come home in it since! haha


Judah and I have stayed busy with the Moms Group we're involved in. We have had a bunch of play dates at the park, breakfast at Panera, a trip to an Amish farm, storytime at the local library and a lot of other fun activities. Judah is talking a mile a minute, asking questions left and right, and likes to point out everything going on around him. He knows his alphabet, and is trying to count to 20 (missing a few of the 'teen' numbers, but we're almost there). He loves to draw and color, but he also likes to figure out how everything works (i.e. - vacuum, car keys, what the mail man does, trash truck, dishwasher, laundry, you name it!). Judah continues to love music too... so he's definitely got a little bit of both his mommy and daddy in him! He is such a good boy, and so much fun.
































I have been starting to get involved in our church in addition to the moms group. There was an audition for the worship team several weeks back, and I am not a part of that! I'll be playing piano and singing in the band, which is an honor and a joy! It will be so nice to get back to serving in that capacity at church! I have truly missed it.


I think that is about it for us (for now at least!). We hope all of you are doing well, and miss you! Please keep in touch. When we get settled into our house here, we would love some visitors. Please don't be strangers!!!


Love,
Noah, Krista and Judah
