Guess what, we live in our new home! Remember how we thought we were going to get to move in October? Yeah, not so much! God was so faithful to provide during our time of transition, long as it was, and continues to bless us as we dwell in our first home. We've been here just shy of a week now and feel so blessed at what God has provided.
I bet you're dying to see some pictures. Seeing as how we completely overhauled the basement I would be remiss if I failed to tell you how excited I am to show you how great it looks after the hard work of many, especially my dad and Ben! But you'll have to wait:) After I upload pictures after I find my camera cord after I take pictures after I hang things on the wall after I decide what and where to hang things after I have enough energy to do so, THEN I will show you. Don't hold your breath. 6 weeks till baby is due and I am T-I-R-E-D!
Until then, sit back and enjoy this conversation that Ben and I overheard Caleb having with his Larry Boy toy in the van this morning. He was the voice of both and had no idea we were listening.
C: Hi, who are you?
LB: I'm Larry Boy to the rescue. I am a superhero.
C: Oh, but Jesus is a real superhero.
LB: Oh. Who is Jesus?
C: Well, Jesus is the Son of God. He died on the cross to take away my sins. Now he is in Heaven with God.
LB: Oh, what god?
C: You know, THE God who wrote the BIBLE!
LB: Oh, ok.
"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them." Psalm 127:3-5

It's Been a Long Time...
...and I'm still not going to take the time this moment to update you. Please forgive me! Someday I'll post pictures of birthday parties, and Christmas celebrations, and our new house, and where we've been in between, and how baby #3 will come in approximately 8 weeks, but for today you're going to get a cute Caleb moment. And I must say, my children do and say some hilarious things!
This morning I was sorting MOUNTAINS of laundry piled high in our room. I had my baskets all set out and Caleb informed me that he would like to help. He's never really done laundry sorting before so in an attempt to simplify things I asked him to find all of the red things and put them in a certain basket. He did that purposefully for a while, jabbering about super heros to me the whole time, and then asked me where to put a pair of jeans that were, quite obviously, not red. I explained that I was sorting things into 3 categories: bright colors, dark colors and whites. He informed me that he would put the jeans in the dark colors but that the pink shirt he was also holding should go with the bright colors because pink is like red. The whole time we were sorting I was marveling at how helpful he was being, not to mention faithful. He has a hard time completing tasks and THIS, my friends, was no small task. I'm not exaggerating when I say we were sorting for 10 minutes. As I was encouraging him for being faithful to help complete the task we started and how that was God's grace in Him he said, "Yeah, mom, and someday when I grow up I'll have to do laundry all by myself and I'll have to sort it...... Or mom, maybe God will give me a wife and she will serve me by doing my laundry."
God, would you please be so kind to bless Caleb with a Godly wife who will indeed delight in serving You by doing His laundry. Until then, God, would you help me raise this boy to seek not to be served, but to serve!
