It's been over 2 months since I have posted on this blog...
I am thinking about giving it up. Life is just not allowing time for it right now!
But, I thought I would fill you in on some of the craziness at Casa de Wood...
2011 is the Year of Transition for us. Here are some of the changes, in no particular order...
Andy has accepted a new job as RUF Pastor at VA Tech - this is the Presbyterian Church in
America's college ministry. We are so sad to be leaving our current job/friends/house, but also pumped to be working with college students! We will be moving in May/June.
Baby Wood #3 is coming! Due to make his or her appearance Aug. 6th.
With 3 car seats, we are upgrading from the station wagon to a minivan. Yes, a minivan. So...if you know anyone who wants to buy a fabulous black volvo wagon, please let us know!
Since we have to sell our house, move to a new house in Blacksburg, and are adding another
kiddo, it was time for sweet Bella to find a new home. This was a super-hard decision as she was our first baby and a part of the family for 6 years. However, her energy level and seizure disorder were making it hard to give her the care she needed. Through a German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue, we were able to find a WONDERFUL family with lots of land, 2 other dogs, and the ability to care for her! They have sent us these pictures...
Their land & other dogs (what an amazing view!)
Apparently they have a lake
Bella in her new favorite chair (guess you can't take the princess out of her)
She is probably wondering why we didn't send her there 3 years ago! It's such a blessing and relief to know she is in a great place.
So...life with no dog, a new car, selling a house, moving to a new town, finding another house, starting a new job, and having another baby. We are excited, overwhelmed, thankful, surprised, exhausted, energized, and just as crazy as usual :)
Thanks for checking in!

yay for making trips to Blacksburg again!!! I guess since Andy helped me move out of my dorm one year, I should pay him back and help y'all move in!!! hah :)
Yeah:) Congrats on everything!
Such amazing news and SO so weird that I looked it up today. How much for your wagon? We have tossed around the idea of another car in these parts since Maddie will be 16 in a couple of weeks..mimi could cut back on the 2 hours of carpool and taxi cabbing we do every day if someone else here could drive;).
My email is upchurch6@Mac.com..let me know

Ah the joys of the minivan. We spent many hours with three kids and the dog traveling to Richmond. When I was looking for a new Car I debated between 5 or 7 seats. We got the 7 but the back two fold down. I love all the extra room we have. We use my car all the time to travel now.
What a year this is going to be for you guys! Congrats on all fronts. Sorry I haven't called you back to talk to you in person. It has been a long, sick couple of weeks for me and lying around is about all i do these days. So as soon as I come up for air I want to talk, catch up and hear how you are feeling about all of this change!! A minivan--huh?! Craziness.
Wow - what a lot! Congrats on #3 and sorry to hear about Bella. I remember when she first came home with you ;-) praying for a smooth transition for you all!
oh...yeah for Bella!! I bet she loves all that room!!! I am sure you miss her badly though! Now you will only have kids to jump on the furniture!
