this-n-that

This is a beautiful building to us! because it is the site of Andrew's first JOB! It is the home of Citizen's Bank where he will be working on the 22nd floor, taking in-bound calls in a type of call-center. He has another job in the works that would definitely be a much better situation both in pay & hours, so we are still praying that will work out, but in the mean-time, we are accepting this! We thank God for providing and trust him to continue to do so. MANY people have prayed for this, and we thank you for joining us in that request.

our neighborhood

One of our favorite parts in the city is the Strip District. (Isn't as raunchy as it sounds :) It is a beautiful street filled with all kinds of markets & shops. The produce & meat selection is awesome, with better prices than I paid at Wal-mart!

Life has been pretty crazy busy since we've gotten here just with getting our home settled and also getting adjusted to our new community and beginning to be a part of our new church. We are loving it. The church group here is small {so far }, but it is a very tight-knot group and there is a BIG vision. There is much to do in the city of Pittsburgh as we looks towards how we are going to spread the Gospel. Right now, everyone is getting to know their neighbors, co-workers, and those who they most frequently come in contact with, be it the barber, barista, or bank teller. Pray that we would be faithful in our witness.

we all recently went to a pirates game. this stadium has one of the best city views I've seen!

they won in the FOURTEENTH inning, however, we left in the 9th to relieve our baby-sitter. I'm glad we didn't try to stay. :)

graham gets to spend lots of time with his friend Claire! They mostly just stare at each other right now. :)

g-man report...
We faced our first crisis in quite a while the past 2 weeks. it was called GROWTH SPURT. He decided that what he was getting from me was not near enough, so all of a sudden we were scrambling to also give him formula and feed him more & more & more & more... it's been quite stressful to know how much he should eat and when, etc...our perfectly smooth routine flew right out the window. :) It's slowly starting to calm down and hopefully we're getting past the worst of it! whew. it was exhausting!
He is getting very active and when we get him after a sleep, we never know what crazy position he is going to be in! he manages to scoot all around or even ends up on his belly.

but besides the crazy little life interruption, he is just our favorite baby in all the world! he is so happy all the time and we love to laugh and play with him! (we also realized we've only taken one picture of him since we've moved here. GASP!) we'll have to fix that. back to documenting his life hour by hour soon. :)
