Happy Memorial Day!

It's moving week! Bags, boxes, tape, and Elmo! Can you spot Levi? We were a little concerned Levi would have a tough time with the transition and the moving process, but so far so good. He's adapted to his environment.
We had an amazingly productive weekend thanks to Nani and Papa and Auntie Sammi. Jenny's dad was uber-helpful getting us organized and organizing our storage unit "belongings." Jenny's mom and Auntie Sammi were fantastic and watched Levi as we packed and RE-DRIED ALL OUR CLOTHES!!! Thanks bed bugs... no coming to our new home!
Memorial Day was hot but wonderful. We took three walks, including playing at the park and walking around near our new home. Levi loved running around the courtyard in front of the military prep school and playing at the park.

That's all folks. We're back to packing and enjoying our last few nights in Rogers Park. Please pray for our transition and that no bugs join us in Edgewater.

To our country's fallen soldiers: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You will never be forgotten. May the LORD bless all your loved ones who carry on your memories!

"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong."

Bye Bye Bed Bugs... HELLO New Home!

Welcome to the NEW JonesPod. God has found us a new home. We looked at nearly 20 apartments and condos throughout northern Chicago. Then, on the advice of a friend we just started walking the neighborhoods we liked and the FIRST place we saw a posting for was this place. Talk about stepping aside and letting God guide you. So, we're off to Edgewater, about 2 miles south of where we currently live. It's a few blocks from the grocery store, the park, the beach, and my bus to work (cuts 20 minutes each way).

I'll post more pictures after we move in... in 2 WEEKS! FYI - it's the garden unit, not the whole place :)

In the mean time...guess what... LEVI IS CUTE and loves chocolate!

Levi has a shoe fetish...

Boots!

Or Sandals...

Levi was cold.
(No, I didn't gain 50 pounds in my neck and lose all my hair - just a bad angle)

Blueberries!

Yum!

Daddy shoes!

Thank you all for the prayers during our home search. We're super excited about our new home and the opportunities God has for us in Edgewater. Now we just need prayer that we (with God's help) do all we can to prevent bringing bed bugs into our new home. Have a great weekend everyone and God bless!
