ANSWERED PRAYERS!!!!!!!!

HELLO AGAIN!!! I am soo sorry-We Hawkes have been very negligent with our postings! I hope you can forgive us, but...life has been eventful to say the least. Yes, we made the move from AZ to UT in December, then...we made another to Idaho in June!!! Praise God Robert found local employment and The Almighty Lord brought him back home to our family!!! I feel blessed beyond compare. And as if that was not enough, He delivered a darling little house on about an acre and a half or two that was big enough and extra affordable (the best part)...I cannot tell you how excited our family has been!!!

Robert's career change has been an adjustment, but guess what...he has a LIFE again! He actually has DAYS OFF!!!! I wasn't sure how to handle that at first, but we're learning quickly how to go fishing, to the park, etc...we even went on a DATE last Friday night! LOOK OUT!!! It was sooo wonderful - We went to a lovely dinner and saw a movie downtown Lewiston---the coolest theater in the world! I am married to the most wonderful man alive!!

The children are blossoming and growing again (must be the cooler climate ;)) Each day we are amazed at the craziness and fun we experience. As you can see in our photos, our garden was a TOTAL family effort this year~everyone pitched in and that was soooo COOL! Now, we're watching it grow and begin to produce TOGETHER!! it is so peaceful here to be in the garden watering in the early mornings waiting for our babies to wake up...WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED!!

I can say this...it is amazing how much you appreciate the "little" things after you have gone without them for a while~you know, like the squeals of little voices when their Daddy is tickling them and the running around the house playing hide and go seek with the big bad tickle monster! It is music to my ears! Every time I look at him-I say a little prayer of thanks!
