Playing Dress Up with Freind Mackenzie

A great day....this morning our re-inspection went great! Praise the Lord! The structural report came back much better than expected and we are looking at hopefully a cosmetic fix of around $500 instead of $2000. We will submit the approval for this tomarrow...keep praying that all with the FHA loan works out and timely. This afternoon we met friends Mackenzie and Madison at the splash park to enjoy a little fun in the sun....or fun in the shade in the little girl's case. The weather was perfect...even a little breeze to keep us cool...loved getting to spend time with good friends playing! Summertime...Woo Hoo!

Waiting...

We have learned so much in waiting in the Lord in the past nine years of marriage...waiting on His timing and not trying to work it all out on our own time schedule...which seems really difficult sometimes because I especially like to have everything all taken care of and completed. He is continually teaching us to wait....wait on Him. His plans are far better and His timing is perfect, of course it is....how could it not be from an all-knowing God who tenderly cares for His children faithfully time and time again. I find myself reflecting on waiting this morning as I prepare my heart for the day. Today we have a re-inspection of our rent house that we recently got a contract on and are in the process of selling. The first inspector said that in his opinion the house needed another 4 piers. We are praying that the re-inspection shows that all of the repair work and piering that has already been done is sufficient and the home does not need any more piering. At times I find myself a little fearful that the inspector will find that we need more than 4 piers or find something else wrong with the home....this home has been our lion the last 6 years. It seemed like something was always going on that needed to be repaired.....it makes me remember how faithful God is to provide as time after time He provided financially for us to maintain this home....amazingly the past six months as we have paid double mortgage payments while trying to sell it. I will resign myself to continue to wait with an expectant hope that He will work all things out for good.
"Our soul waits fir the Lord, He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name." Psalm 33:20-21

Memorial Day

Daddy & the boys playing tag!

Abby Ruth and I hanging out...this is wearing her out! :)

The new family pic....

Memorial Day fun. We decided on a picnic at the splash park and indeed had a great time. The clouds rolled in and it was quite chilly but Carson enjoyed his ten minutes of play in the freezing water while Andrew ran around on the outside saying that it was too cold to get in...our festivities ended with a game of tag with Daddy...too fun!

My little Helper...

Here is Abby Ruth helping me fold laundry...with her eyes closed! :)

Daddy is 30.....or "Firty as the boys would say"!!

Happy "Firtiest" Birthday Daddy!

We had a super fun night celebrating Daddy with mexican food and some shopping just for Dad and topped off with some yummy cheesecake. Oh how we thank God for Daddy! What a blessed woman I am to get to grow old with Dustin Wayne Cupp! As you have noticed...I am sure...I have been a bad blogger lately....life is a little more hectic, for sure, with three little monkeys. We have also stopped production for right now with the business and so that means that I am also sewing all the new fabrics myself.... orders are picking up and we are praying for a great market in June. Abigail....please pray for Abigail...it seems like one thing after another with her. As you can see from the picture she is wearing a full body brace now 24/7 to help with her developmental hip displasia....we are praying that the brace will work and that she will only need to wear it for two weeks....she doesn't seem to mind it which is great.... she is also still not pooping like she should be...we go to the doctor in the morning and will have to begin some futher tests to see what is causing this abnormality. She is such a joy...she doesn't act like her hip or belly hurt her...and boy does she love to sleep...she gave her Mommy a wonderful gift of a 7 hour shift of sleep last night before she awoke to eat! Woo Hoo! Please continue to pray for our contract on the Rent House...we had inspections this week and everything went great except for one issue... the inspector wants 4 more exterior piers installed...to the tune of $2000.00...and we have already put 20 piers in this home...please pray that God will work all the details out as we are trusting Him to do. Praise...Praise God for SKYPE...I was able to talk to my good friend Cinthya (her and her family serve in Honduras) twice last week over the computer across the world for FREE...amazing...what a wonderful resource...how amazing!

Praise!

A very wonderful anniversary gift....we got a call with an offer on our rental home yesterday. I love God's timing....yesterday Dustin & I celebrated 9 years of marriage bliss! We have been so completly blessed through the years. What a perfect day to get an offer...we countered today and they accepted....we have a contract now on our rental home! Praise the Lord....please keep praying that all will go smooth with the inspections next week. Thank you...thank you...thank you dear friends for praying! Here are the pics from today....Abigail's four weeks old picture...too fun...longer blog later...just wanted to praise Him!!!
