We're moving!

Hi Everyone,

How things have changed in the last month!

First off, Alia Chloe is growing, and we’re having fun with her. We have to admit we think she is the cutest little person ever… especially her "o" face… you’ll have to see it some time (we haven’t caught it on camera yet.)

She is a delight and a joy but she also has colic which has proved to make tougher people out of Mommy and Daddy. Please pray that we can find out if this is just "normal colic" where there is not much we can do or if it’s a food allergy or some other strange environmental variable.
Remember how we contemplated the definition of insanity before, now with Alia’s colic thrown into the mix--we know we’re over the edge!

Our trip to Michigan over the Easter weekend went well, Becky and Alia both did great during the long car ride there. The last hour on the return trip to the Quad Cities was the hardest with Alia being inconsolable from the colic. :-(

On the home front—we’ve got a house! Thanks to our terrific family members and friends who put out feelers for us we now have great Christian landlords and just about everything we had hoped for in a property. Praise God for His provision!

So here is our new information,
Paul, Becky and Alia Kortman
(Removed due to privacy issues)
Please email us @ kortmans@----paulkortman.com for our address etc. (Hint, remove the dashes, those are added to prevent spam)

We are now in the process of packing up all our earthly belongings (that are in Illinois) and will be returning to West Michigan with our U-haul truck on Wednesday, April 26th.

If you want to help (we would appreciate it!), please meet us at our new address on that Wednesday evening at 6pm to unload the truck. Please understand that our inter-state drive with a colicky newborn will not allow us to accurately gage our arrival time and sadly will not be able to feed you supper, but our hearts pour out with love and appreciation for your willingness to assist us.

We want to give public appreciation to our family members who have already taken time to clean our new place and prepare it for our arrival in our absence. What a blessing to have such loving, giving and selfless family members. Thank You So Much!!!!
