Great Two Weeks and a Major Bummer.
The last two weeks have been very fun-filled! Carl’s parents came to visit then we went to Memphis to celebrate Susan’s graduation! It was so great to share some of Missouri with Mom and Dad Fauth and, of course, Gibson and Hosea loved the company! In Memphis, Susan showed us her home for the last two years. We are so proud of her and what she has accomplished. (Sorry we missed Jerry’s, Sue!)
In between, we’ve hit up too many yards sales to count, gathering a great collection of needed items plus items to sell ourselves. Currently, we are redoing a lamp that I am SO excited about. We completely took it a part. It is curing with a coat of primer on its parts on our deck right now. Rubbed off the rust, changed the electric. You’ll just have to see it later!
Gibson spends most of his time playing with his new trains and tracks (an early birthday present from Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Jim!). He is quite the master, already putting the tracks together. Also he surprised us this morning by counting to “9″! My jaw dropped. He has been watching “Leap Frog: Numbers Ahoy” and we’ve been reading counting books a lot. I just hadn’t realized it stuck.
Hosea is WAY into the trains too. Gibson does a great job sharing, but he’s kind of a destroyer and would rather bring complete annihilation to anything Gibson has created. Speaking of destroyer, he started emptying one of his dresser drawers today. Holding on to the kitchen with one hand and pulling out the third drawer up, he had taken out several pairs of pants before I caught him. Gotta watch that guy…he’s sneaky! But so full of love!
Here is the sad part. We have pictures for each of these stories. BUT… we can’t find our memory card reader at all! We are waiting for one to go on sale so we can get it. Unless you think it’s a necessity? Anyway, we will update all of these stories with blogs as soon as Best Buy has a sale. OR we cheat to make everyone happy.

I completely think it’s a neccessity!!! We need to see pictures of the boys!
Sounds like it’s time to define “necessity”. Maybe the pictures can be delivered to the public by other means while waiting for that sale?
I suggest that you give yourself a time frame for it to go on sale. For example, if it doesn’t go on sale in the next 30 days, then you could go purchase it at full price. I would imagine most electronic stores have sales going now because of Fathers Day. Hope you find a good deal on one!
Carl and Christian thank you so much for showing us such a gr eat time in Missouri. It seemed that we could just pick up where we left off with your boys. They are so smart and fun to play with. We will always remember being there when little Hosea stood by himself for the first time. You are great parents and it is neat to see your commitment to them and also to serving God with your music. We are so blessed to have 5 great kids and 5 great grandkids. God is so good.
