I can't believe it has been so long since I have written a blog. I seriously intended to get going again many times but...

In the last several months I have been trying to faithfully seek the Lord early. While I don't always make it our Lord is full of grace and mercy toward me. I have found that our days run much smoothly when mom is up b4 everyone and has spent quality time with the Lord. I have never been a morning person but again the Lord has blessed with grace and help in this.

Our days are much more scheduled now which helps me keep my sanity some:) However I still have trouble keeping the house picked up let alone clean. It is also hard to fnd time to be on the computer for extra stuff! We had also experienced the reality of Proverbs 29:15b a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. These boys need constant attention and instruction. The sin nature reins in them and they bring out the worst of sins in mee too. Thankfully the Lord has given us all the instruction we need in his word now I must be more faithful to read it and obey what he has revealed unto me!

Mornings are spent schooling. I read to them, Micah reads, Iread some more and then we have about 1 hr of seatwork. I read to them for 2 hrs a day usually in 2 chunks. Micah hates his seatwork so I have to really focus on him and be creative. Ian begs to do seatwork and although I am grateful he is so ready to learn (he has already started reading a little) I don't feel I am ready to spend the time just yet. Josiah is wonderfully conttent to color or play on his own! Avery still takes a morning nap. As soon as she goes down we hit the books. This week I have stopped schooling (except for the reading) in order to focus on cleaning and packing for the long weekend. I plan on schooling till baby comes then take a break for a while.

This little boy has been a difficult one. As far as due date I had no idea (not even a guess) when my last period was so we are going purly by u/s. I 1st predicted Aug 21, 1st u/s said 15th, then at 21 weeks said 4th so who knows?? Thankfully the placenta previa from the 21 wk u/s is no longer a issue. Our God is a God of maricles! All glory to Him!! However since March I have been going in every 2 weeks bcause I am measuring small. Not fun to go in that much with all 4 munchies with me! The boys are very good Avery is often another story. I have found she likes dum dums! :) Right now I have the feeling that I could easily walk him out right now. Without too much activity I start having low contractions (something I have never had b4) . I will be checked on Thursday and am interested to see what we find!

I have kept up with reading all your blogs and am encouraged that everyone seems to be doing so well!! Julie your post on peace was a much needed meditation for me last week!! We have been going thru about 9 months of turmoil in our small assembly. It is all coming to a head now and I had been overly stressed over the whole thing. Please pray that brotherly love will prevail and the Lords will evident to and lived out by all!!

Best go referee the wresteling match going on :) Love to you all!!



So I have wworked so hard to get a good working schedulee down for us and soon baby will be here and I am guessing I will have to start all over! :) Don't know how this got down here it was written in a paragraph up top. Oh well!!
