Hi All, We haven't been using blogger, and apologize! This past weekend we were in Duluth with Jenny and the boys. Doug wasbusy with his new job. She had a conference that earned credit for her licence maintainance. We haven't been out at the farm as much as we like as we are so busy here in the twin cities allk the time. We are going to senior college at S.W. state in Marshall. This year we took birdwatching and a class on famous musicals. we went to our first class this past thur. Glad to see your blogs Michael! It's a great way to share what's going on! Thanks also to you Molly for the stuff that you contribute! We have to talk it up more!

Adorable, Sweet, Cuddly and Smiley!

Two adorable girls!

Baby I is 5 weeks old today! What a sweet baby she is! She loves being held and cuddled. She has that wonderful new baby smell, too!

Ava loves to be mommy and daddy's little helper. She especially likes to "clean" the dishes in the sink. Hopefully, when she gets older she'll still like to do the dishes. :)

As I am writing this entry BOTH girls are napping! Wow! :)

Storm damage at Steubenville

Last night was a first. There was a wind advisory, no joke. A pine tree fell down about two feet away from the front door of my dorm. Also the street was covered in debris which consisted of leaves, and branches. it was pretty crazy. Half of the county of Steubenville lost power. The hospital in nearby Wierton, Virginia was on it's backup generators. There were down power lines, the whole bit.

Explanation of User Name

I was made aware that there was some... suprised reactions to my User Name (Remnant of Israel). I would direct you to the Book of Romans, the book right after Acts, in there around Chapter 12 I think... you will find St. Paul talking about the Remnant of Israel, i got my inspiration from that. I am not a Jewish radical with amazing hacking skills, sorry.

I found a way to get on

Hey everybody,
I found out how to get on now so i'll be posting myself. I won't need "Big Brad" to post for me anymore. Yeah i have been really busy with class, and studying during the day. Partying at night, just kidding i don't party at night just hang out with friends or night class, or work. I work at the Phonathon at Steubenville. Basically I call people for money, it's not that exciting. Hope everything is going good back home. I also have become a fan of the nap during the day. It is very nice, and i enjoy it.

Michael's College Experience

(Michael couldn't get on so dad is entering this note for him per his request.)
Hi all y'all,
Everything is going fine at Steubenville. I've made a good group of friends and I'm going to all my classes. I'm also staying with all my homework, and not getting behind. The weather has been really hot, or cloudy and rainy. I'm waiting for that middle day to come. My roommate and I get along great. I also met a guy here from Faribault MN so that was nice. We hang out occasionally. I'm able to get internet from my dorm room which is really good. Though currently it's down, so I have to go where there is wireless internet. If you want to write me the address is:
Michael Jacobs
1235 University Blvd.
PO Box 506
Steubenville, OH 43952
I also have my dorm room phone 704-283-6673, or my cell phone number. To get my cell phone number, just e-mail or call my parents and they'll give you that. I'm not going to put that up where people can see. Yeah, I've gotten 3 voice messages from people. One was a guy who I thought was drunk calling to try and get his wife back. Second was a person calling and wanting to express condolences about a guy's wife being in the hospital. The third one was for me to donate to fight cancer. I also got a call from a telemarketer wanting me to donate money. I told her it was a dorm room, and asked her to take me off her list. Speaking of telemarketing, that is my job at Steubenville. On Tuesday nights I call alumni of Steubenville to see if they will donate money to the University. I hope everything is going well for you all.
-Michael

Now, the Waiting

As of last week, we've finished all the paperwork, and we've sent our book in to New Horizons, now is the time to wait and prepare for our new baby to arrive.

We've moved Alex and Nicky into the same bedroom, and we are beginning to prepare the nursery for a girl. If everything goes well, we hope to have a child placed by the end of the year.
