Tiny Update to a Dusty, Old Blog

Hooray! We moved (just to a different apartment in our complex). Packing with a big belly and 2 wiggly boys was, well, interesting at times. Unpacking is more fun. :) We're SO thankful for all of the help we had, thankful for a 1st floor apartment with more space, thankful for the Lord's provision, and thankful Daniel decided not to make an early entrance before the move. Now, we eagerly await his arrival! That's a tiny update from the Butts' home!
