A New Home

Well - after about a year of looking we have finally found a house plan that we both like, so now we can begin to build our new home. We purchased a Lot last August in a new neighborhood in Springdale, so we won't be moving far. We plan to make a few changes but check out the link to see our new home.

Please pray for us as we begin this process. We plan to start build in late October/early November-which will have us moving in around May. I don't get out of school until June 5th. It will also be a new challenge with Jacob for we will have to reteach rules and boundaries in the new house. Though I'll miss our 1st home, it is truly exciting! Just not looking forward to packing.

Jacob's Nursery School

Jacob exploring Ms. Janice's on his first morning!Jacob's 1st Day of Nursery School at Ms. Janice's on August 12th. He is adjusting well. She has 8 children. Three 4 yr olds, 3 yr old, 2 1/2 yr old, 18m old, Jacob (15m) & a one year old.

He is still taking a short morning nap along with their 2 hour afternoon nap. He takes after his Mommy when it comes to sleep. Daddy takes him in the morning except Tuesdays and I pick him up. Though Jacob is not old enough yet, they wear a different color everyday to help them learn their colors and each week they study a new letter.

Back to School

Well-

We barely survived my first week back to work from the summer break. Lots of crying (and not because we were leaving each other) mostly once we got home. I think it is going to take awhile for Jacob & I to adjust to getting up earlier and having new schedules. Jacob has been walking for almost 4 months now and speaks several words (i.e. ball (his favorite), cookie, daddy, juice, doggie, kitty, more, puppy (his stuffed animal), etc). Did you notice that mommy was not in that list :( . Jacob is at that stage were he wants to be independent and into everything, but then wants to be picked up-just to wiggle and want down. I sometimes feel like I cannot please him-but he definitely likes to be with daddy! He sees Wes & his face lights up or he cries for him because he wants to be with him. I hope that this is just a stage. I guess only time will tell. Please keep us in your prayers. Pray for patience!

Have a Blessed week!

Summer Update

4 Generations of Kelbe's

Sorry, it has been so long since my last post. We had a very busy July! We just got back from Ft. Lauderdale, Fl yesterday. We had a family reunion to celebrate my Grandfather, Bill Kelbe's 80th Birthday on 08-08-08! It was an eventful week, but we all survived. Jacob was so good considering the heat, lots & lots of people, staying up late, the heat, and moving from place to place, oh and did I mention the heat!

We 1st stayed a few days at my grandparents-then we moved all our stuff to Ocean Manor Hotel on the Beach just to stay one night-the next day we were upgraded to the Penthouse because the air condition was not working in the previous room. Did I say how hot it is in FL ;).

Lets just say someone could write a very interest book on the events that unfolded within my family last week, but we all got to spend time with our loved ones and celebrate the man that brought us all here!

Happy 80th Birthday Grandpa! I Love You!!!

p.s. I'll try and get more photos up soon.
