So, we're officially IN! A TON has happened with us lately, so I"ll just do a quick summary. We got our CO. We moved in. We closed on the final mortgage. The next day we had a small fire in the back yard (long funny story), then the wiring went kaput in our septic line. Chris replaced it, and we're "back in business". Then, in celebration of finally living in our house, Chris took off a day to hunt on our new land, and whatdaya know, HE GOT A BEAR. 
It's true. So here are some pictures for your enjoyment. Thanks for all the prayers-I'll try to update more often, now that the hectic stuff is done. I leave you with a short commentary from my dad (in response to Chris announcing he shot a bear): "1 coyote, 1 bear, 1 house, + 28 days from your first wedding anniversary, 107 from your first child. Almost too much to comprehend. Congratulations.
One day I see you standing on the front porch, looking at the sun peaking up over a warm spring mountain. The thought will come – 'Yes 2006 was quite a year at Twin Rocks, quite a year. 2007 followed with even more amazing experiences as you teach me to be a husband and a father. Lord, you have poured your gracious blessing on us all here at Twin Rocks. We are humbly thankful for your mercy and grace.'Peace, love and joy in the Lord, The Crazy Old Preacher "

View from our porch one beautiful sunrise morning, me making "belly" progress, and Chris and Hydro Carefully watching for bucks out the front window.
