Raising Arrows

And then there were FOUR! Just one day after my last post we found out our family will be expanding in late December! :) And we couldn't be more thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our unconfirmed due date is December 23rd, 2012 *Our Precious Christmas Gift from God* That's the nickname till we find out in July what we are having. We've decided to share with family and close friends - and ask for prayer. Prayer for a healthy pregnancy, healthy and growing baby, and calmed nerves, especially till we get over that 10-12 week hump. Needless to say tho, we are so happy and excited. Even you, Milo Man, got in on the excitement. Running around and giggling every time we said "Baby". And still do giggle when we say it now. :) I keep telling you about your "baby sibling" growing inside me and you point to my belly button and go "SHHHhhhh" with your pointer finger to your mouth. So cute. You've learned that from being with other babies a...

So I'll be honest I've really be kinda blue, grumpy, and mopey lately. I can't stop thinking about Lil' One and how far along we'd be ... only a few weeks from her birthday. And I keep thinking of what our lives would be like if things were to go to my plans; and then it hit me (multiple times thru multiple messages/studies). This life isn't my plan. I have nothing to do with mapping out and organizing what happens... that's God's plan. He's in control, and as much as I keep thinking I'm letting him drive, well I'm not - or haven't been lately. Our family is just what it needs to be for this time and place we are at. Not sure what God has in store for us in the days, months, and year to come; but whatever it is it's FAR better then anything I could dream up for this family. Hebrews 11:40  "God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."  After yesterdays message at church...

Happy Easter Milo Man! It was a wonderful weekend for celebration of Christ's death and resurrection!! I'm not sure how the whole easter egg and bunny thing came around for the world... but we don't really do much with that aspect of it, except with grandparents! (of course!) :) We started Easter morning off very early with our church family @ the Northbridge Rise & Run fun run 5K. They proceeds from the race went towards our short mission trip we are looking to take in the fall to Germany. So we rose before the sun ... and you were not a happy camper about it. ha! From there we celebrated at church ... where you are always more then willing to go play in the nursery with all your pals. :) You BEG to go downstairs, pretty much from the moment we arrive. (after your donut tho! haha)  Then we had a very busy afternoon with family at Grandma&Grandpa Keith's place. We ate a delicious ham, mash potatoes, veggie and roll dinner. And after all little kids napped (and s...
