After my last post, I sort of decided to take a little break from blogging for awhile. I had several reasons, but none of them would probably make sense to you, if that makes sense. :o) In other words, it was totally a personal thing.
After I got back into the attitude of blogging, I discovered that all of the sudden I could not find time to blog. I was really tired and went to bed early every night. I was not as faithful to my early morning times with God, even though I almost always got up before the kids, in time to get my Bible reading and prayer in. It was rushed though, and I'm so glad that I'm settling back into the 5am routine. My body is getting more rested and it seems I do not have as much of a need for sleep. Finally. I've known the reason for a while. I've been wanting to share it with you too.
I'm expecting! A new blessing for us is coming around September 14th. I'm 11 weeks along, so I'm starting to get a tad more strength for my duties and other things that are exhausting, like blogging. :) We are excited and are looking forward to this new baby. We have received mostly positive responses, a couple negatives, but I've heard about a few negatives that were not mentioned directly to us. :) Just makes me sad all over again to think that a GIFT from God (Ps. 127:3) derives such negativity from people with misplaced priorities. I'm sure that's another post for another time.
The kids are doing well. The oldest is doing well with his schoolwork and I still love homeschooling. Youngest is talking up a storm and all he wants to do when he gets up in the morning is to put on shoes and go outside! We all have spring fever, I think more than we have ever had! The kids have come down with the sickies and we hope we still get to go on a trip that we have had planned for some time now. We are using a variety of natural remedies and a little Benadryl on the side for hopefully a speedy recovery.
I'm sure I've failed to mention a few things that we've been up to, but at least you have an update!
God is still good. I hope you and yours are doing well.

Congratulations!! I am so thrilled for you! There is nothing like a new blessing from God. E-mailing you soon.
Congrats on your new blessing. I'm actually expecting also. I went for an ultrasound today so we could see the heartbeat. I'm about a month behind you. So I'm still quite early. I'll go back on March 11th to make sure the baby is growing. Please keep me in your prayers and I'll keep you in mine.
I am delighted with the news, and with your return to blogging. I've missed it greatly. It's like a little piece of home for me everytime you post a blog. Love ya!
