MOVING

Monday the moving truck will be loaded in SF and will arrive in IG Tuesday. We will be saying farewell to Super 8 Friday morning and stay in SF until Tuesday. Needless to say we are exited to get established in our long term home and should have pictures of the house soon. In the meantime, I hope you don't mind another of Abby!

We will have closed on two houses in 3 weeks total as everything continues to fall into place. Last weekend we stayed in IG for the first time and Grandpa and Grandma Uken visited us on Saturday, but their main focus was Abby of course. Also, we were able to attend a local church service and were warmly welcomed. Tashia was invited and attended a new women's bible study already Monday and we had dinner with the Pastor and family on Tuesday. They have 5 kids with 3 triplet girls, and we thought two would be a lot of work!

Tashia had blood work done last week and we are exited that the HCG level are showing a healthy pregnancy at this point. Our two miscarraiges happened early so we are exited for our 2 month ultrasound on the 28th.

Abby will be attending the first home SDSU football game this weekend. They will be playing Northern Iowa who beat Iowa St. last weekend. Don't worry about where our loyalty lies!

Relying on His timing and Plan,

Stu, Tashia, Abigail and ?????? (we have a boy name, but haven't decided on a girl yet)

Super 8: Week 3

More big news.


First, we have a house!! Closing should be in about 3 weeks and we hope to move in a week before. It's a two story from 1916 loaded with oak woodwork and floors. It's in decent shape, has a new 2 1/2 garage (1978) and three bedrooms.


Turns out we will need all the 1,800+ sq. ft as we found out this weekend we are pregnant. This wasn't unexpected but we missed all the cues this time as we had plenty to distract us. We decided many months ago to try again and trust God with the outcome. We were pregnant in April, but lost the baby before the second month and gave the name Alex. This was again tough, but we had it on our heart to continue to try naturally for a family.


Who knew that we would have five children in less than 3 years! (Jamie, Tony, Abby, Alex and ?????).


Work is going well for Stuart and Abby is keeping Tashia busy during the day. Thanks for visting this site for our latest updates.


Stu, Tashia and Abby.
