Hello from Indiana

Sorry it has taken so long to write anything. We finally got internet access a couple days ago. It is amazing how much we depend on the internet now. Well, we feel like we are getting settled but it has been kind of crazy. We have been juggling moving in and unpacking with trying to see all of the family to show off Carson a little bit. Carson is doing really good. He is sleeping from about 11 PM to 6 AM before getting up to eat. He adjusted really well to the time change. He is definitely getting bigger. It is kind of amazing how he is growing. He is starting to smile now. I think it is when he is happy and not just when he is releasing his gas.

It has been incredibly hot and humid here. Everytime you go outside, you feel like you need to go take a shower. I guess California has had quite a heat wave also. We met our neighbors (Nathan and Kara) the other day. They are about our age and have a chocolate lab named Sadie. She looks just like Chocolate (at least to us.) Our realtor called the other day and told us some kids had tried to break into our house back there in Oceanside. Apparently they didn't get in so that is good. We haven't heard any news about anyone actually wanting to buy the house though. We are trying to just trust God to take care of it.

We haven't visited any churches or anything yet although both sets of parents have made recommedations. Shari's mom had called a church from their denomination. We're not sure exactly what she told them but they brought us dinner the other night. It was nice but now we are fighting the feeling of obligation to go visit. My parents told us of a Baptist (of course) church here that they know of from some people in their church. They kept saying that they weren't trying to pressure us when they were telling us about it but then they kept saying "I think you'll really like it." Oh well. God will lead us to the right group at some point. We just have to be patient.

Well, we'll try to write more often so it won't be such a long post from now on. We'll send some pictures soon. Thanks for the calls and emails. We miss you guys a lot. Hopefully, we'll hear from some of you soon.
