The weather is changing and our lives are about to change, too! I've been very busy these days trying to wrap things up at work and squeeze in a little pre-baby "nesting". This is my last week at work and I'm only doing half-days. Next week I begin the full maternity leave and the WAITING. Since Ethan was right on time, Elena was 3 weeks early, and Joel was 5 days late, I feel like I need to be ready for anything. I'm actually hoping for another early girl because I want as much time as possible to spend with this one before I need to head back to teaching. Anyway, being in a time of transition always reminds me that I'm not really in charge of my life and that God is. Only He knows when this baby will be born and how we are going to manage having FOUR kids. And He's the only one who knows how long my leave will be at this point. Being a person who loves to be in control, its good for me to remember that I can trust God for everything and that He has always been faithful in the past. When I'm tempted to worry about all the details, I find myself trying to remember how things worked out in the past. Usually, I can't remember the details, though. All I can remember is that things did work out and it wasn't because I worried about it. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how God takes care of us in this time of transition, too.

Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers the last few days. I hope we'll be able to get together when we come out at Christmas - I know the kids look forward to it and I'm always up for a little baby snuggles :)
Something easy like Me'N'Eds last year!
oh I am so excited that you are due soon! I expect pictures within the week you have her!!:)
Enjoy your time off from work before she gets here....
