We're not in VA anymore - we're near Kansas

The Bowick Family has found it's new home - Searcy, Arkansas. We are very excited to be part of a new church family here.

We moved in Saturday, July 11th, thanks to the help of many people, especially Jon & Preston McLester from Orlando. They drove all our stuff from storage from Orlando up here for us...all we had to do was rent the van and fly them back - they blessed us SO very much! Numerous people from Fellowship Bible came out and unloaded us. Some of the ladies also unpacked my kitchen for us and have been blessing us with a couple of dinners as we settle into the new place.

Eldin is doing great with only a small set back of strep/cold, which he was nice to share with me and the baby. I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant and HUGE. We also have announced the name that God has blessed us - the new baby's name will be Ellis James Bowick. Ellis comes from Elijah and means My God is The Lord. We also wanted to honor Tony's step-dad Art Ellis. James is a strong biblical character and also in honor of Abbie's dad James Graham. Ellis is due August 25, 2010 - we will see :).

Tony will officially start work on August 1st, so we are blessed to have him at home to help us unpack and settle.

At some point I promise to post pictures! Unfortunately, I'm not able to at the moment. My goal is to post some needed updated photos BEFORE Ellis gets here, because after that this site will be about the Bowick boys :).
