We want to welcome you to our Blog. This blog has been a long time in the list of our TO DO’s. Let us begin by giving a brief look at the past year.
2008 began in Efland, NC – after moving in December of 2007 from Pittsburgh, PA area. We have thoroughly enjoyed living in the Efland house, as we call it. The yard was great – the cows in the pasture out back were fun to watch – and the house itself had a good layout for us, with rooms that were large and fit us nicely. The only drawback - the distance from church. James was working from an office in Greensboro, NC; and we attended church in Wake Forest, NC (Rolesville actually). James was an hour from work and we were an hour from church. We spent our drives listening to sermons and music and memorizing scripture as a family.
In July, God allowed James to begin working from home a couple of days a week. Then a change in position allowed him to work from home full time. With James working from home we were now free to begin looking for a home closer to church. God provided us with a home; and we moved on November 1. We still reside in North Carolina, but have moved an hour east from our Efland house.

As a bonus we live next door to a family from church and are within 5 minutes of several other families. The funny thing is that the family we now are neighbors with, were looking at moving out to the Efland area last year. (I think our dear neighbors just wanted to be near us!)
By far the most exciting time in our home this year was the birth of our 6th son.
Samuel Courage Anton Lundquist
was born at home on September 18, 2008 after a very short labor.

Samuel - May he "grow in stature, and in favor both with the Lord and men" (1 Sam 2:26) May he have ears to hear and obey God (I Samuel 3)
Courage - May he "be strong and of good courage" (Joshua 1)
Anton - James’ paternal great-grandfather
We can not imagine life without our little blessing. God has richly blessed our home.

Just a couple of weeks after moving into our home we made a promised trip to Texas. We were able to spend a week visiting with family. We would have enjoyed staying longer and visiting with our faithful friends in the area, but we were only able to play phone tag. We enjoyed making jellies, playing on the trampoline, litsening to Grandpa's stories, building bon fires, making cookies, drinking tea, cooking, taking pictures, and so much more.
So now that you are a little caught up on our lives, we will, Lord willing, keep you posted a little more often on all the things going on over on the east coast - at least our little section of it.
May you be encouraged as you read of the happenings around our house.
