Change...change and more change!

Well, this has been quite the month for our family! With Rowan 4 weeks old today, another new member added to our family (Auntie Emili) and Heath not only changing jobs, but careers-Spring of 2009 is one for the books!

Rowan-Well, we all knew it, it was said a thousand times by various people during pregnancy, but Rowan is VERY different than Brevin was as a newborn. After a month, we are still trying to figure him out. He seems to have a VERY sensitive tummy which means no milk or ice cream for mommy (we have at least seen that make a small difference). We are trying to figure out what else we can do for him. Brevin continues to be a great big brother, so loving and concerned for Rowan. I love seeing this side of him. I am definitely noticing that we will have to make some very special individual time for him coming up so he is not Rowan overloaded though. :)

The Wedding-Our trip to IL was successful! We had lots of help from The Carstens on the road and the whole weekend, a borrowed mini-van (definitely one in the future for our family-I KNOW I KNOW-SOCCER MOM!!!) from The Obergs and a cleaned house/dinner from The Dyers. How could it not be successful?! Thanks friends! Adam and Emili are now married and headed off to their honeymoon in Belize TODAY! What a fun adventure for them in starting off their marriage. We are praying for them as they travel not only on this trip, but the journey of marriage.

Heath's Job-Back in January, Heath applied for the Gifts Pastor position at Eagle Brook's Spring Lake Park campus (our home campus). He has been very involved in the Gifts and Groups ministry for the last year as a volunteer. After several interviews and much MUCH consideration, Heath was offered and accepted the position. Heath has felt called to this position and God just kept opening doors that made us both realize He had His hand all over this. After 5 years at Wells Fargo (3 on this most recent team-Learning and Sales Development), Heath put in his notice. Heath has been so thankful for his time at WF and the career he has had there. His supervisors and teammates could NOT be more excited for him which really has helped transitioning out of their team and onto his new team at EBC.

His new position will be overseeing 100+ volunteers at the SLP campus, working with teams on baptism, helping other EBC people find out their spiritual gifts through the GPS class and really focus on leading the lead volunteers. Countless times during this process and since our family has been transitioning I have heard, "Heath was made for this position!" I couldn't agree more. I am so proud of him and excited to see how he grows and develops throughout this new adventure.

Today we had a farewell lunch with Heath's WF team, it was the last time we would be officially visiting daddy down at the BIG BUILDINGS! Since Brev was just a few months old, he has been riding the bus with daddy to emergency child care and over the last 3 years, he has learned the sky way system and THEIR stops along the way.

In order: Jamba Juice, the PEEING BIRD water fountain in Gavidae, the BUMPY stage coach at the WF museum and the BIG stagecoach.
