Andrew, enjoying one of the rides at Dutch Wonderland.



Marc, showing off her sense of style...she is opinionated when it comes to clothes!

It was a nice break away from the computer this summer...a self-imposed mommy rule that the computer didn't get turned on when the children were awake for fear that I would get sucked into the vortex of the world wide web. But, I'm back...most of the painting is done; pictures are slowly being hung on the walls, furniture is being moved from room to room and baby clothes have finally been dug out of the basement in anticipation of our new arrival. My TO-DO list has been slashed in half, and in half again...and still won't be finished in the next few weeks. But, we find as the time for number three draws closer, we're enjoying every minute spent as a family of four before the dynamics change. And so, I share with you some highlights of the last few weeks we've spent together, basking in the blessedness of being a family.

Two glorious days spent in Pennsylvania at the Solanco Fair. Tractors, french fries, milk shakes, playgrounds and the company of one another...I am often moved to tears to watch my two little blessings interact with one another as friends.

So good to have you back...

Your pictures are fun. I will continue to wish that our families had more time together.

You have some great books on your reading list right now. For the Children's Sake is one of those books that I turn to over and over. Also, Emma declared a few days ago that OxCart Man is her favorite book. She'd love to live in times past (she thinks). What are you thinking about the Ministry of Motherhood? I haven't been able to borrow it and I'm not sure I want it enough to buy.

Waiting to hear about your new babe.

Love you,
Paula
