Our "New" Living Room


Tim and I received some Christmas money this year so Tim and I decided to use part of the money to replace our lamps (which we had originally found in a dumpster). The old lamps worked and that was the main thing, but now our home looks a little less "dumpster-chic". We LOVE the new lamps!- they have 3 shelves a piece and (get this) they're pretty!! Right now they are holding our family worship books and diapers in a discreet basket and the one to the left of the couch will hold pictures when I decide which pictures to display. Sorry about the pictures, the sectional looks kind of freakish beause I didn't zoom out enough but our house is a little less "Twilight Zone-ish"- I promise!

5 Stockings


I put our Christmas decorations away today and the house already seems bare. But, I picked up a silver stocking yesterday (75% off) at Target for Baby J next year and it just makes me think of how far we've come in 3.5 years. Our first Christmas Tim got the green stocking and I got the red. Then Dabney the next year got gold. Last year David received his blue one and I think silver is the only other color they make, so I had to get it for Baby J! Maybe for baby #4 I'll have to make a stocking. Praise God for His goodness in adding to our family!

Dabney's "wish come true!"


Dabney's been wanting to build a snowman and telling us about it ever since she could talk. Yesterday, New Years Day, Daddy and Dab finally built a little friend before all of the blizzard snow could melt. And yes, those are tumble weeds for arms.

Houston, we have a due date!

Whew. I finally called my OB's office today and made an appointment to see my most favorite doctor ever- Trudy Skiles. My appointment is Monday at 2pm. Also I asked for the "official office" due date and Baby J is scheduled to arrive...


Sunday July 29th!

However, if Baby J is like her sister, she will arrive 8 days early- July 21st, or if she is like her brother she will make her appearance 5 days early- July 24th. (BTW, I'm using the pronoun "she" because it's customary when you don't know the gender, right?) I guess I'm 10.5 weeks already - more than 1/4 of the way home! See what denial will do for you!

Anyway, if you could pray for a few things... I just can't bring both kids with me to this appointment- I've got yearly exams and stuff and maybe even bloodwork- so please pray that the Brottlunds (who volunteered) will be able to watch D&D and that things will go well. I'm nervous already. As most of you know, we don't have babysitters very often.
