What to say...

How about some baby news? Not that anybody other than family who already know the info. read this but...

this last month has been an emotional zigzag...my TSH (thyroid stuff) was way off, I was measuring 4 weeks smaller than estimated and I wasn't gaining weight...on top of the fact that like every year we are in tax season

so to solve the problem and ultrasound was scheduled and the due date is now...July 18 and I measure perfectly...I have an appt with the specialist to make sure the old thyroid is doing good and we'll see about the weight but the baby loves chips :)

Let Rob know how much we miss him...sorry Kentucky is not as exciting without us...

And onto the weather...it has been raining on and off for two day so here is what it looks like here...

Grieving Heart

I am writing to share that my parent's pastor was voted out of the church yesterday. He and his wife are godly people who have ministered and mentored my sister and parents. I don't understand why God has allowed this but know He has much to teach through it. My heart is aching as God will move this couple to a new body of His people and my parents will no longer be given the privilege of being under his teaching and friendship.

Please pray for all involved that God would separate the wheat from the chaff and He would raise up a new place of worship for my parents.

A Pwince and Pwincess

As many have been sick this week, including mom, we pulled out mom's favorite movie, Pride and Prejudice. Big sigh by most I can hear it already; but, to my delight, my kids actually enjoy the movie immensely. Abby called it "our girls movie" and the boys would be watching it while playing gamecube and eventually gave up video games altogether. It makes the literary and mom side of me smile.

The scene in the movie:

Mr. Darcy, wearing a top hat, is riding his white steed to meet Lizzie after they met at Pemberly the day before.

Abby: Is that the pwince?

Mom: Yes.

Abby: I wish is could mawy the pwince.

Mom: I know Abs.

Abby: When I go in the movie, I could mawy the pwince. But I to small.

Mom: I know. Sorry Abbers.

Abby: That's ok....Mom,

Mom: Yes.

Abby: Will you mawy me?

Mom: I would love to.

Abby gives mom a big romancy kiss, eyes closed and head moving back and forth, and everything. We both smile and live happily every after.

The following day Abby and Johnny were in the boys room. Johnny, who limits his make believe play when around Abby, puts on the Polar Express soundtrack and they begin to dance. After a while, he asked Abby to switch to her Belle dress, as he called it, and he dressed up in a bear costume.

Beauty and the Beast

And they end with a kiss...

The END

Been way too long but been a little busy....

I know, no excuse. But for the few pathetic people who just might possibly read our blog just see Tammi's blog it fills in the gaps.

Ok here goes. Dec. 3-13 Rob was in NYC with the weekend in between he and I going to Petosky for a get away. The next week...Mon-Wed. he was home and Wed night though Friday he was is Mississippi. He flew into South Bend...Fri oh wait on Sat. 24 hr. after he was supposed to arrived but with a $400 airfair voucher in his pocket...he was pretty geeked...Monday (Christmas Eve) we head home to visit for the next week with Tammi and Steve. We had a great time with family and thankfully I had nursery duty at church when they left or I would have cried my eyes out...something about being pregnant or a wimp :) or both...

From there Rob was home until Wed and let until Friday for Ohio. He had a nice visit with Aunt Dee and Uncle Gerry. Oh by the way, AJ left the flu behind before they left and Robby pucked Wed night. Now some of you don't have this problem but when I"m pregnant even brushing my tongue can make me vomit. So Robby the trooper took care of his own puck bucket for good old mom. He set it outside to freeze so daddy could take care of it when he got back on Fri. I got sick on Sunday and Kendrick and Abby spiked fevers yesterday. Well that about brings everyone up to date. So...my apology for not blogging but we've been a little busy.

So tax season is in session and I will have more my time and will try to blog more...especially pictures for our family who live far away...

by the way...snow is totally gone and it was 60 degrees on Monday and 40 today...winter in Michigan got to love it....
