The Drive Thru

Over the last few years I have grown to the love the drive-thru. I am not just talking Mc D's either. Got banking to do?, need a prescription filled? Drive thru. I love the fact that I don't have to get out of my car or unbuckle Elli and wait for her to get herself out. I have been known not to go somewhere if they don't have a drive-thru. It is a good thing that there are not alot of Starbucks close by, it is defintely my favorite drive-thru. I even took advantage of the Meijer and there curb side assistant yesterday, kinda a drive-up service, but hey I've got 6 weeks to go,have a big belly and I am tired. I think I deserve to be a little lazy right now.

What's been going on?

Summer is coming to a close. It has been another busy and fast summer. I can't imagine the number of Flavor-Ice my kids have gone through or the amount of ice cream(mostly on vacation). Poor Noah has had to play a lot of girl games this summer being the only boy in the short radius of the neighborhood homes. Football has started and given him a chance to run around get some energy out and not have to play "pretend". He is loving it and is excited about his first game this coming Saturday. Rob has asked that I don't sit by him and sit by one of the Grandpas and ask all the things I don't know about football. How do you like that, I am just trying to be an active part of my son's life. Elli has had a great summer playing outside, giving up naps and most importantly being in the water any chance she can get. Playing with the "big" kids has given her a bit of an attitude and there are times when she doesn't understand why she can't go every where they do or why she can't spend the night at Grandma W. trailer. I am sure this next week will be an adjustment for both of us when she realizes that I am it, all she has to play with during the day and that I won't have Noah to entertain her when I am busy. Thank goodness that BSF starts up this week and she can find some new friends. All in all I am ready for fall and the continuing countdown of baby's arrival.

Girl or Boy?

Place your bets, what's it going to be? Tomorrow I go in for my ultrasound and find out whether we are having a girl or a boy. It's funny, this time around I thought I would have a little insight about the sex since my first two pregnancies were so different. This pregnancy is different again and I have no such feeling on the sex of the baby. So what do you think, girl or boy?

Summer Fun

Thirteen years and counting

It's hard to believe it's been 13 years since Rob and I said "I do." It's amazing all the different things we've been through. Four years in seminary living in Colorado not knowing a soul when we first moved out there. Years later planting a church not knowing alot about it. Struggling to get pregnant with 2 kids and now a surprise one on the way. Little did we know what was in store for us all those years back, it seems that God had a plan and timeline for our lives that may not have always gone with what I wanted but looking back I now see his way is always better. Happy anniversary Rob!!! Here is to many more years!!!!!!!

WHAT????

Yep, it's true two old people are having a baby. After the initial shock of the discovery we have started to get very excited. A lesson learned, even if it takes years for you to conceive your first two children it can take only ONE time without using caution. REALLY! God has a great sense of humor. My due date is December 13. Any one looking to unload some maternity clothes let me know, Rob made me sell mine a few years back and I have nothing.
