Trip to PA

Haven with Grandma Sauers! Awe!
We had a great time in Pennsylvania this past week! It was great to be able to see all the family and catch up where we left off! Of course Haven was the center of attention and she was loving it! It went so fast and now we are back in Milwaukee jumping in with both feet again!
God is so good. He provided so many things for us while we were in PA, one of which was luggage from Steve's parents. They probably don't even know what a blessing it was, but my suitcase was about to bite the dust so they're new "used" luggage is greatly appreciated! God also provided in small ways with clothes for Haven from a girl at Steve's dad's job and toys for her for Christmas. He also gave us safety on the flights which was a huge blessing! Haven was good on the first flight and screamed like crazy on the way back. She probably just didn't want to leave her Grandpa's and Grandma's, Aunts and Uncles! :) Actually, she was really tired and just kept fighting sleep! She tried a lot of new foods in PA - ice cream, pizza crust, mashed carrots, and loved it! She is crawling like crazy and trying to pull up on anything she can find! She is a real joy, even though it is a lot of work!
Today we are getting a new water heater installed by a man in our church. This is another huge blessing! We have been taking our showers at the Y for about a week and a half! It's a good way to get us to work out though! :) Steve will watch Haven for me when I go to a baby shower tonight and we have a busy week ahead of us with dinner engagements and then a Parents Open House on Saturday! We're also looking forward to Chris, Justin, and Tommy Ardt stopping in to see us hopefully on Friday on their way back to Northland! Next week is our Revival Week Sun.- Wed. at Brookside so please pray that God will do a great work in our hearts and the hearts of our church people! He has already been at work in my life as Pastor Sam preached a challenging message on Sunday night and I realized I had not been being honest with God about sin! It's so true, we talk to God about our respectable sins, but the real ugly stuff we gloss over and act like it's alright! So, I am so thankful for His working in my life, and I pray He will continue this work as He said He would!
Love you all! Thanks mom's and dad's for having us! We had a great time!
