What's new with the Baird family

Things have been really busy around the Baird household. That explains why I have not written recently. We are packing up and preparing to move. I am so excited to finally be taking my own churches! This truly is an answered prayer.

Over the past few weeks things have been crazy. I had to go to licensing school. Tomorrow I leave for annual conference. There was some collecting and pricing of items for a yard sale. Round 2 of the yard sale may continue this weekend. We have been cleaning and packing like crazy. The official count is 12 boxes packed, and so much more to go. We move 3 weeks from today! And my first Sunday in our new churches is July 4. This Sunday I preach for the last time at the church we have been at. Next Sunday is our last day at that church. And then the weekend of the 27th we are going to spend our last weekend at our first home, and finish getting ready for our move.

And of course Josh has chosen to accomplish some pretty big things in time for the move. Josh started rolling over onto his tummy a few weeks ago. Last week he managed to roll back onto his back. He also has started to crawl! We are so proud of him. Crawling took a few days. He started by getting up on his knees. Then a couple days later he figured out how to get his arms ready to crawl. Then the next day, he managed to move a little forward. It figures that he would learn how to crawl in time for the move. He is still working on cutting several teeth. His first one has poked through the gums! And Josh loves to stand. He can move forward with someone holding his hands! He will be walking before we know it. Josh also talks like crazy! It still is gibberish, but we know his first word isn't too far away!

We can't wait to see what the next few weeks and months hold for us. We are all so excited! Josh will begin doing some even bigger things. And Mommy will be doing some big things, with Daddy and God's help, at her new churches. I just hope we get through the move quickly and easily with no problems. And I hope Josh makes it fine through the move, and adjusts to his new surroundings nicely. I will write again before the move. Now, back to cleaning and packing.
