Little bit of this, little bit of that & his grama

"Wait, she lives?" you might be thinking to yourself- 
Yes, yes I do. I have returned myself to the blogging world- 
Go ahead, welcome me with open arms.

Lots has happened since my last blog-
1. We went to hawaii.
2. Found out we are expecting our 3rd baby, while in hawaii. (due on Paige's birthday 4/15/12- By the way, if you hadn't quite done the math... I will have 3 children barely under the age of 2. What kind of mythical creature family do I belong to anyway, this all seems humanly impossible?!)
2.5 God is good to bless me with babies, redeeming #2. I love my kids & my husband in outrageous amounts.
3. God did a few good pushes for me to relearn sign language & only He knows why.
4. Lena is practically walking.
5. Paige went potty on the potty a small handful of times. Really impressed because honestly, a sticker for reward... is a total bummer and I know she knew that too. (I made up a cute jar of smarties though, she is now impressed.)
6. Our college age bible study has been so blessed, the "younger than me" adults are just amazing.
7. It appears absolutely impossible to re-home our dogs, under every circumstance I was meant to be tortured by these beasts. That silver lining bit... lightning just struck it, blew it up even. A billion pieces.
8. ... Pregnancy brain has left me wondering why I can not, absolutely can not think past "honey BBQ glazed chicken wings from Costco" to complete this list- To Be Continued.

Tonight, I lack a real organized thought process- Which may better explain the existence of the list above.
This afternoon my husband's sweet Grama went home to be with Jesus. Sadness meets us openly three states over. Let me tell you what, as sad as it is to lose a family member, what inner peace and joy is met when  you know they went home to be with the Lord- In their rightful place, for eternity and someday we will see her again. God is faithful to bring his beloved home. And in the midst of sadness, there we can still find hope.

Praise Him for that.


I will have to return later to entertain you with rants and raves, please know I've got them, tightly wound and have been saving them for months. In the meantime, keep us in your prayers.
