God has been so good!! He has been faithful to provide everything that we need from a beautiful place to live to comfort and peace when we miss all of you so badly! Like many of you know there have been some tough moments but God continues to give us conformation in the decision of moving from California to Indiana. Your emails, calls and texts have been a great encouragement and of course have come at the most perfect timing. We found a townhouse to rent that is very similar to our townhouse in California but bigger with a couple extra rooms, we are almost unpacked and are going to start painting tomorrow...(wow I wish I had COC Bible study to help with that!!) The church family at Centennial Bible Church has been extremely welcoming and always wanting to know how they can help us in our transition. Just one example, a sweet family brought over a huge bowl full of goodies today including, homemade salsa, pesto sauce, & bread, along with a watermelon and cantaloupe from their garden. They also filled it with a guide to all the great places to bring your kids here in Indiana and some other fun things for Drew!! ( This family totally reminds me of the Nesheim's!! which of course just makes me smile.) Some BIG news is Drew is WALKING!! Yep! It is adorable, he is full speed still, he doesn't really walk, it is definitely more of a run! He loves to play with a football and says, "ball" all the time and points to things and says, "OOOHH" and convinces you with his excitement to help him get whatever it is he is "OOOHHing" about!! I was just looking at some pictures from the last couple weeks we were in California,( I have added a few to this page for you to see), and my heart was just welling up with love and thankfulness towards all of you. You have all impacted our life in such different and wonderful ways and we hold our time with you as a precious treasure we will remember and cherish always. I hope you enjoy the pictures, I am going to try to update this weekly...now that I know how! We miss you and love you!!

I am so proud! It made me tear up and cry a bit but mostly because of the joy that we had while you were here. We absolutely loved seeing the pictures. KInsley looks at Drew's picture EVERY DAY and scratches his face and gives him kisses! She misses her best friend and we miss ours!
I'm so glad to hear that you are beginning to settle in and create a home in Indiana. Change is never easy, but God uses it to show us more of who He is and who we are in light of that. How exciting to know that Drew started walking!!! Brodie just took his first steps this past Friday. He's still crawling quite a bit and using things for support, but it won't be long until he's cruising around like Drew! We miss you guys! Keep the updates coming!
Hi guys!!
Its the woodwards!! I am so sad that we did not get to see you before you left. I feel like the end happened so fast. Even though we didn't get to see each other a whole lot the past year since we moved to Bfield, I felt comforted knowing you were in Santa Clarita!! I can't believe you are in Indiana!!! I love you so much and know how hard it is to move and not know anyone, but as you know the Lord will provide. And it is such a great reminder of God's faithfulness and companionship! I love you and am so excited for this new chapter of your life! Keep the posts coming!
