We are here, we are well, we are tired, and we are finally online! We arrived Thursday night without a hitch. Our moving truck arrived bright and early Friday morning, and I've been organizing and unpacking ever since then. Jonathan's family joined us for the weekend. They were a huge help moving boxes, unpacking, etc. We enjoyed our first Sunday morning worship service at Christ Baptist church, though I spent the majority of the service consoling Hannah in the nursery--she wasn't a happy girl in her new environment. Hannah is experiencing many changes right now, and it won't settle down until well after the baby comes. So, I am trying to make her feel special and help her to be excited about her new house, church, surroundings, etc. Jonathan started work at the Imagination Station yesterday. He is happy to begin figuring out his new routine. I spent the afternoon trying to locate and unpack all of his books, so he can also begin focusing on his ministry, as he will be teaching for the first time on Sunday night. Where all of the books will go is a mystery. We are trying to be very creative with shelving, but it is difficult to move a pastor's entire office into his home.
We continue to see God's merciful and providential hand at work. He has provided for our family in amazing ways. Thank you for your encouragement and prayer support. Our friends and family have played a vital role over the last few weeks, and we cannot sufficiently express our gratitude to you all.
Well . . . back to work!!!

I'm glad you are reconnected to the blog world! Being with you guys this past weekend, I can attest to the fact that God Himself brought your family to Wilson. I felt at home there! Here's to your family settling in and many return visits from our family. We love you guys.
Hannah will adjust faster than it seems right now.
We're glad your first Sunday of worship there was sweet, and that Jonathan will begin teaching this week. I know he is eager.

Yeah Brooks Family! Glad that you are there and happy. We really miss you and it will start sinking in tomorrow night. May Gods hands be on Hannah as she accepts all of her changes and may His grace be with you all...
We love you, the McDuffie Family
We Want Pictures! We want Pictures! :) We are so glad to hear you are there and safe.
When we got to Scotland it was an enormous change for Delaney, but she took to it much quicker than we did! Although it did take several weeks for her to really get into the flow of things at church.
Hannah is a smart and sweet little girl with two wise and godly parents. She will adjust quickly and be just fine.
We miss you all and look forward to seeing your surroundings.
