Mr. and Mrs. Patterson - and a 102 degree fever!

AnnCatherine's cousin Carmaine was married this past weekend on the Minnesota - Wisconsin border and the setting was just beautiful. We were very excited to welcome her husband Troy to the family and we have to say he has the most unique groom's cake ever (camouflage with a mallard on top!)

Because it was a 10 hour drive from Indianapolis, it was clear that Elizabeth could not make the drive, so Jarod and Elizabeth stayed in Indy for some daddy and daughter time. Grandma Mary watched her one day, too! AnnCatherine experienced quite a bit of guilt about being away but Jarod just kept assuring me that all was well during my many calls home. The myth was quickly disspelled as soon as I arrived home on Sunday night... Elizabeth clearly had a fever and had one all weekend! So while I understand the little white lie, now I'll never completely believe Jarod again when he tells me all is well! I'm sure there is a lesson from God in all of this, but I still haven't exactly figured out what that is.

Troy and Carmaine, best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness...

WE'RE FINALLY MOVING!!!

Well, after over a year of waiting and countless prayers, we sold our house on Delaware Street and are moving on to our new home on Haverhill Drive. We were homeless for only a short time - we sold the house at 1pm and then bought our new home at 3pm. We are so excited to finally start this new chapter of our lives and can't wait to have you all over. We moved a few boxes tonight and had a chance to sit on our new front porch. Welcome home!!!
