Giving Thanks (inspired by)


Thanks be to God, Father, Son and Spirit, for the abundance of good things he pours on His children.
We are but few, but His blessings are many.

Last week we were sitting at the dinner table, talking about the new baby. "Kids, what do you think? Are you hoping for a boy baby or a girl baby?" asked daddy. Most of the answers were predictable:

Seth: "A boy baby."
Lorraine:"A girl baby."
Agnes: "A girl baby.
Marcus, scrunching his face in deep thought: "Ummmm..... A motorcycle."

Sorry little Marcus, it looks like big brother was right (what's new?) Our next little blessing is a boy blessing!


The ultrasound was great: all his tiny little parts seem to be functioning beautifully! In the large picture at the top of the page you can see his little hands! How fun!

I am already halfway through this pregnancy, and beginning to realize that next fall I will be a mommy at home with FOUR preschool BOYS! Oh my goodness! I'd better stock up on supplies! Tattoos, swords, guns, bandages, ice packs....

Hm, maybe Marcus is on to something.... perhaps I am the one that could use a motorcycle?

JUST KIDDING JOSH!

Congrats on a healthy baby boy! Our ultrasound showed a healthy baby as well, and that always makes a mama happy. :) (Gender is still technically unknown, though I'm convinced it's a boy.)

Babies in the sidecar!

Erin, what a great idea! Rocking babies to sleep is so old-fashioned...

Don't tell my dad - he'll get you one! :) They have been riding again the last few years and they love it.
