Suprising Month of June

It is almost embarrassing that I have not blogged for a month! As usual, we have been on the go; I have just been a little under the weather and all of my energy has gone to my kids and hubby. Photography and blogging have had to sit on the sidelines. The big news is that we are expecting a new little blessing in January. January 27th is my due date. This is by far the biggest surprise Sid and I have ever received and as we all know- God's surprises are always more amazing than anything we could have ever wished for on our own. We had not planned on growing our family any further at this time, mostly b/c we did not want to have to do infertility drugs as we had to do with Grace and Isaac. Of course, I "assumed" I was unable to have children naturally, so the day that my 3-year-old said, "Mommy, your belly is sticking out." I began to wonder. And that afternoon I got the shock of my life with two pink lines. We are now a little more adjusted to the change coming our way and so very excited. We are definitely going to find out the sex of the baby, but of course are just praying for healthy. We are so finely aware of the two healthy blessings we already have and want to continue the trend. Anyway, I have not been feeling that great, which is a big change from the first two pregnancies. That is why there has been no photographs and no blogging. I am really just trying to be a good mom in the heat to a 3-year-old and 19-mos-old who literally never stop moving. But no complaints- I know I am so blessed to be home raising my kids and cannot imagine having to miss a thing. I was already starting to be sad b/c Isaac's baby days are long gone and Grace's are only a memory. Now I get one more time to drink it all in.

This year the theme at Vacation Bible School was a 3-Ring-Circus (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). We had a professional face painter who turned Grace into this gorgeous tiger!

On Father's Day we let daddy go for a long bike ride- made him a big breakfast and then time to open his gifts. We are late risers and love to hang out in our pj's until the very last minute!
