House is for sale

If you haven't heard our news here is the latest. Joe just accepted a position at Chattanooga Christian School in Chattanooga, TN. It is a great opportunity for Joe with his job and for us as a family. He will have two classes (one History, one Bible) that he will teach 5 periods out of 8 each day. They also made a position for him as an assistant for the boys Varsity basketball team. The school is bigger than the one he is currently at and he will be apart of a history department which includes 4 other teachers. He is looking forward to being challenged in his teaching and learning more from the other teachers in the department. It has been really neat watching how God opened the doors for this job opportunity and made it really clear to us that this is where we should go. We just put our house on the market this past Wednesday. This will be one of the biggest challenges of moving -selling our house. All the plans and decisions are definitely making us turn to God in prayer and with patience as He shows us His plan for our life. We are looking forward to moving to TN and making our home there, yet at the same time it will be difficult to leave friends and family.
Joe has recently taught Isaac the University of Tennessee fight song. Click here to enjoy :)

Doctor Appt

Seth is 2 weeks and 2 days old today. I took him to his doctor appointment this afternoon and he now weighs 8lbs. and is 21 inches long. I'm a little concerned because I thought he should weigh more than that. The Friday after he was born he weighed 7lbs 14 oz, so that means he's only gained 2 ounces in 2 weeks? The doctor is having us come back in 2 weeks to check his weight again. I thought he was eating well, but just not as much as Isaac did when he was born but Isaac was a really good eater and probably ate more often than most babies. I'm hoping this isn't anything to be concerned about and our little Seth will continue to grow and developed just as he should. He has been a really good baby and has been sleeping well at night. He has at least one 4 hour stretch and then up every 2-3 hours.
Isaac had a great time at the doctor today. He said hello to everyone on our way in and on our way out. He is so social. He got a sucker and a pin wheel and it was a super windy day so he had a lot of fun with that. It is so fun to watch him get so excited about little things and he is amazed by everything he sees. As the nurse was weighing and checking Seth's temp, Isaac was asking what everything was. I was just thankful he did really well during the checkup because it was an hour past his normal nap time and you never know what kind of mood he'll be in when he's tired. Thankfully all went well and we'll be back there again in 2 weeks.
