Wasted Time and More

Last night I was wiped and wanted to just veg at the computer for a little bit. Haven't done that in a little bit. Blogging about our life isn't vegging - too much thinking involved. I read a few blogs and sites, but this was just after dinner. Lily kept asking to go outside.

When we finally made it outside, I felt really guilty. It was a beautiful evening and I missed most of it! I let her stay up a little later than normal. We played outside, I pushed her in the swing, we had a tad bit of ice cream on the front porch (me rocking in my chair and L in hers), and sang a few songs while I rocked her.

Thank you God for redeeming my wasted evening and giving me a few special moments with my daughter who is growing up WAY too quickly.

We slept in about 45 minutes, watched some Kai-lan, and made french toast for breakfast. I had a family friend come over to watch Lily during my accountability group this morning. L and Kelly had a great time. That was yet another amazingly refreshing good morning. Kelly, I cannot thank you enough for your generous use of your time!

This afternoon when she wakes, we drive to H-burg to have dinner with Steve, and get a pumpkin with said Daddy(according to L this is the most important part of the trip). All to return to L-burg this evening.

No pics yet. I have misplaced our battery charger for the camera battery. I know ti is here somewhere, but haven't the time to find it.

Pregnancy is going well/normally according to doc. We find out the gender of the baby on October 9th! I am enjoying having Steve in the midst of his Women's Health class. I know he would rather be done with class, but it's fun to watch/listen to his excitement (as excited as he gets) as he is learning about what I/we are going through! One night he called me back after we talked just to ask me about what the docs had said about pain relievers. He was relieved himself to hear that the dos had told told me NO aspirin/No NSAIDS for pain. Here is why he was so concerned.

School is starting out much better than last year. Lots of reasons, I guess. Lots of changes for the school, new kids, etc. BUT, I am convinced evermore that GOD knows how much I can handle an he is giving me grace for this season. God is indeed in control. I am NOT and the sooner, I learn to live my life with that in mind - the better!

Okay this is WAY longer than I intended, so I guess I will close and rest before L decides to wake and we head to H-burg. Continue your prayers that are felt and valued!
