Transition Time

So Christmas is sneaking up very fast on us.  We have been here in Texas about a month now, minus a week for Thanksgiving.  Aubrey had an appointment at Texas Children's Hospital last week.  The appointment was tough on her with all the pokes and stickers they stick all over her, but she is doing very well.  Her heart is certainly not worse than it has been and may even be a little (very little) better.  She has grown but the thick part of the heart has not.  Her heart is still squeezing very hard, so they increased her dose of the medicine again.  Overall we were very pleased with the news.  We were sad to learn that her very excellent dr. is moving to Ohio and we won't be able to see him any more.  But I am sure he is leaving us in capable hands.  

We are getting settled here in Texas.  The house is coming together and we have our vehicles.  I am still working on getting a license as that is a very time consuming process here.  We really like our home and the neighbors we have met have been great.  We found a church and even ran into friends from Anchorage the first Sunday we checked it out.  That was such an encouragement and an unexpected blessing.  I am looking forward to better weather and our pool to be complete.  So far the transition is pretty tough on me especially.  Brian likes his job and Aubrey is all settled.  I hope we meet some friends or get in a small group soon.  May parents get here Monday night for a week.  I am SO excited for that.  I think if I just get a few more things in order I will feel more at home here.  Thanks for keeping up with our family.
