So...Monday afternoon we received a letter from our mortgage company stating our home equity line of credit has been suspended because of the significant decline in the value of our property!
We began renting out our house last December for less than the total of our mortgage. We refinanced the house a year ago and had money in our heloc when we moved to CV. We've been pulling the extra $ we needed for the mortgage from that line on a monthly basis. And now we'll be short that money because we're no longer allowed to access it.
Please pray for us as we are unsure of where that extra money will come from each month.
D was told he wouldn't be receiving a raise this year because no one in that branch of the company is receiving one while they're trying to improve it. So...we have a lot of questions and several options to explore.
God has always provided for us. We believe He will continue to do so. We are also human in that our "freak-out" mechanisms are currently working at defcon 1! Pray that our faith in God's provision will not falter in this time of indeterminate direction for our family.

Our Girls
I was fortunate enough to capture a beautiful but rare moment on film last week. My two little girls cuddling on the couch.
Big sister's still doing well adjusting to her big sister status. That's not to say she doesn't have her not-so-excited-about-this-baby moments...she's asked the baby to stop crying, asked me if the baby can go back in my tummy, etc.
I think the baby has developed some colic. She has episodes of crying for seemingly no reason almost daily (okay, nightly--usually between 5 & 10pm). Our oldest was like that, too, when she was a baby. Thankfully, we've been reassured this will only last a couple of months. We can get through this.
I'm learning to be mommy to TWO children. It's tough! I'm thankful for preschool and gymnastics. Without those things to keep our oldest busy I think we'd all be going out of our minds!
I thank God daily for the luxury of living so close to our parents...and for D's new position at work, which allows him to be home more often. Although these last couple of weeks have been a little rough, in the end I know we are so incredibly blessed.
We'd still appreciate prayer about the whole possible colic thing, though...
