Special Guest

Yesterday was a big day to say the least, not only did we find out the happy news about our sweet baby girl, we also had a special guest. Some you may remember John from such places as "Our Journey to MeiLin", but to us he is family. Russ, June, and I have not seen John since our trip to China and the boys have not seen him in almost eight years! Jake and Russ were both disappointed they did not have the chance to visit with John, but we were glad he chose to share an hour with us even though he had a busy schedule. Don't worry about us keeping up though, Rebecca and I talk numerous times a day and not a detail is missed.....

A week in review.....

Wow, what a week! Our week was full and rewarding and since I have blogged about most of it I do not have much to add to this weeks review. After our guests left yesterday we spent the day catching up around the house. We did manage to get most of our Christmas decorations up, all that is left is the tree. We have an exciting week coming our way. We find out if the baby is a boy or girl ......I can't wait to know! We also have a dear friend coming for dinner mid-week. Then on to our annual trek to cut down our tree, lots of fun ahead!

Happy Thanksgiving


Thankful.......
I am reminded today of the many blessings God has allowed in my life....His Son, my children, the child I am carrying, my husband, my family, and of course my friends. Thank you to all of you.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!

There is always time to blog....

There is always time to blog, right? Usually I would answer, "No". I try to keep a good schedule, especially when I am planning for a big event, like Thanksgiving. Well this morning I had to change my plans, so why not blog about it. I woke up early and set my oven to self-clean, the short cycle. This is the first time I have used the self-clean, why cook a turkey in a dirty oven? Half way through the cycle I heard a POP and then a sound that sounded like marbles falling..............

The inside door of my oven shattered and fell out all over the kitchen floor!

Thankfully June was not in the kitchen.....

Thankfully we own a shop vac. I spent the next hour on the phone trying to schedule appointments to get this baby fixed before Thursday......luckily I am scheduled for Wednesday. Now on to my real cleaning:)
