Adjusting to a New Normal


It has finally arrived! Steve's last year of seminary has begun! I can't believe that we are beginning the end of his seminary career and awaiting what God has for us next! We approach this year with great anticipation! It seems that as long and hard as we have worked to get to the end of this stage of life that it has come all too soon. It was only 4 short years ago that we moved into our one bedroom apartment as newlyweds with not a clue as to what was to come! God has provided for us greatly in these past years and I am so thankful for his faithfulness too us. He has always given us jobs when we needed them, medical support, health, the blessing of great friends, wonderful teacher, a strong marriage and a wonderful son! Now we look forward to His continued provision, and the blessings we already see!
Speaking of a blessing I am 18 weeks pregnant today! I am feeling great but feeling bigger! I am just so excited about meeting this new little baby in just over 4.5 months! Life will be so different then! I find myself imagining how I will handle Zachary and a newborn. It's very scary and exciting all at the same time. I am most excited about serving my own family at home full time, while it is a blessing for us now that I nanny it will be pure joy to focus on my boys (and maybe just maybe a little girl ) at home full time!
As for that little boy! He is acting more and more like a BOY every day! Today I found him pushing a cart up to the back of a chair, standing on it and pulling himself to flip over the back of it! Two moments later he was climbing up a bookcase! AH! He is wild..but bring joy to my heart!
