I'm back!


Apparently whatever problem I was having has resolved itself. But apparently I can only upload one picture per post. I'll take what I can get.

So... an update. Tim's been playing with the kids a lot more recently as he got a new position at work!! Yippie. We've been hoping and praying for about a year for a job change. He stayed with the same company, but switched departments. His new spot doesn't require evenings & weekends & overtime like his old spot did, so we're seeing a lot more of him. Praise God. He heard he got the job 2 days before Thanksgiving and started there on 12/15.

I'm doing well, for the most part... I ended up getting the stomach flu in mid-November, and then again on Thanksgiving. T-day is my most favorite day of the year, so it was quite upsetting to be so sick for it. I didn't even get any turkey :-( Baby remained fine though, so I can handle that! Things are pretty much normal with me for now. I'm in the third trimester now and am getting so excited about meeting #4.

The kids are doing well too. Crafts are the daily excitement around here. Bekah & Joey are always looking for a new craft to do. Ryan spends his days looking for mischief to get himself into, usually with great success.

We're looking forward to Christmas. The kids are very concerned because we keep going to buy gifts for other people, but they haven't seen us buy any for them. I keep assuring them that we buy them when they're not around so it'll be a surprise. It should be a fun morning! They're very excited for Jesus' birthday and want to sing Happy Birthday to Him. I'm glad they at least sort of understand the true meaning of Christmas.

Glad you are back...I made the mistake of buying the kids something at one of our various and many trips to BassPro Shops. Gabe never forgot that we got it so I had to keep it hidden in the back of the van until I could find time to wrap it...then Jeremy unwrapped it! HAHA
Hope you have a blessed Merry Christmas.

YAY for having Tim around!!! And praying for a year?!! It has to be more than that. It's so true about the crafts. Every Thursday they show up at my house saying, "Aunt Yawa, what kind of cookies are we going to make today?" And I'm like, Oh man, I better think of something!

Glad you are doing well. I am so excited that we have number 2 coming August 14. I have a long way to go but still really pumped!

What a great picture of Tim and the kids playing Twister. I always loved that game. Glad you all are feeling better and glad the baby is going well too. Can't wait to meet him/her!
