Saturday...

I thought the sleepless nights were suppose to start AFTER the baby was born!!! Well, here I am and still no baby. I just cant seem to get comfortable these days. I dont remember being like this with the boys. I keep waking up in the middle of the night, and I just cannot go back to sleep. Dave has been a bit sick like I was last weekend. Last night, he was up every 20 minutes just crying. Poor thing. I ended up crawling into bed with him and he just cuddled against me and slept for awhile (I dont fit so well in a single bed with a toddler these days either). This morning Shane had a few meetings at church so Mum Elson came over and we took the boys into the doctor right away. On Saturday, it is first come/first serve-We were the first ones at the doctor's office. The doctor saw right away that Dave had a severe ear infection. He is now pumped full of antibiotics and has had a really good afternoon sleep. I really hate it when the kids are sick. Thankfully, Noah is doing well.

The past few days I have been working on putting my old blog into a book. I got the idea from my friend, Tamra. I used a program called Blurb. It is fantastic. I absolutely cannot wait to see my book. I have wanted to do it for awhile, so I am really excited to have finally done it. My parents are getting it for me as a birthday present. Not only does it have journals about the kids, but it also has a lot about my journey with the Lord as I processed all that I experienced in Vietnam and began to be renewed and refreshed in my walk as well as my heart to tell others about the Lord. It has been really good for me to look through it all again as I have been putting the book together and to just see all that the Lord has done in actually bringing our family back to Asia. I am really looking forward to seeing what the Lord does in our family in the next year as we plan to return to Asia. It is so good to see how faithful He is!!!

We are currently enjoying a visit from Aunty Maureen and Uncle Dave from Sydney. Although, I think Aunty Maureen has been hanging out for the baby to be born while they are here. Believe me-I'm so sorry to disappoint her!!!! We are having a soup night tonight and everyone is coming for tea-pumpkin soup, stew, and homemade bread. You just cant get much better than that on a cloudy, rainy, cold winters day!
