BIG

BIG NEWS . . .

[Excuse the lack of a picture, you'll understand why when you keep reading]

I can't believe I've gotten so behind, but maybe once I explain why, you'll understand.  Our big news.  Baby #2 is a going to be another little girl.  We had our ultrasound about a month ago, and caught little Emma Rose sucking her thumb, just like her big sister.  We can't wait for her arrival in 3 months!

BIG BELLY . . .


I'm not sure how accurate my own opinion is, but I feel SO MUCH bigger this pregnancy.  Maybe I am.  Maybe it's the heat of the summer.  Maybe I'm growing two placentas instead of one.  I can't say - all I know is that I feel HUGE, and I still have three months to go.  At least I'm not an elephant - or I'd be pregnant for 2 years and give birth to a 200 lb. baby.  Things could be worse.

BIG MOVE . . .


Have I mentioned that we're moving?  Yep, again.  One week from today, to be precise.  It's a long story, but the short end of it is that Dave's parents are moving to the Caribbean (poor things, right?), and they've basically asked us to house sit for them for the next couple of years.  It was a tough decision . . .

Dave's parents: Will you please move into our huge and very nice house for dirt-cheap rent?

Us:  Well . . .

Dave's parents: Did we mention that we're repainting the whole house and getting brand new wood flooring?

Us: Okay, fine.

So yeah, it's actually great timing for us, since little Emma isn't far away, and Kate really doesn't sleep well with anyone else in her room.  Tender mercies from the Lord.

Sorry I've been such a bad blogger recently.  I'll make it up to you by inviting you over to my nice big house once we get all moved in.
