Coming to you live from Texas!!

Let me first quickly apologize for not blogging since March!  I could give you a list of excuses, but I'll spare the time.  A sum of our current Texas life...
We are so blessed beyond our dreams!  God is so faithful to us when we aren't faithful to Him!  He has placed us in Coleman Texas at a little church full of amazing people!  We felt at home quicker then we expected and have been loved on more then we deserve!  We've only been here for 2 months and it feels like its been a great 8 months!  The first week sweet grandma's brought us food daily!  Jaxen attacked one with his toy drill that he pretends is a gun to her ribs...then brought her a book to read him! 
Our teens are so much fun!  They all mostly have accents that make them so much cuter to listen to when the say "yes ma'am," most of them wear big shiny belt buckles and are so respectful!  We have had so much fun with them!  It is great to get to watch Brandon do what he was created to do in life, minister to people he has settled in with the Pastor and his routine quickly and is so thankful for God's plans unfolding!
Jaxen has adjusted without one hiccup!  The first night he went to bed like normal and hasn't acted like he knows any different!  His speech is developing  rather nicely within the past few weeks and we're getting excited b/c he is now mimicking after what we tell him to say!  He has gone from saying around 10 words when he was evaluated in November to now probably 50-70 words give or take.  He is putting 2 words together without hesitation and thinks about putting 3 words together.  We've looked into starting his speech therapy here, but we're still up in the air with that. 
I get the wonderful opportunity to get to stay at home with Jaxen since we've moved!  I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom/pastors wife!  The first day Brandon went to work here was so surreal simply b/c I've waited for 28 years to be at the spot we are at in our lives right now!!!  Since staying home I've found myself trying more recipe's and some succeed and some fail, but when I put on that apron it feels like my super hero cape!!  I don't like the clean up process so much but the trying new things is fun!!  I'll post pictures of the new house up soon!  Stay tuned!!
