Busy, Busy

I had forgotten how busy newborns keep you. Between all the feedings and the rockings to sleep, babies are almost a full-time job in themselves! Thankfully, John is still home, helping with our other children. I'll get to the induction vs. natural labor as soon as I get a chance -- probably next week.

In the meantime, I thought I would let you know what else we have been doing. My sister and her daughter came for a visit on Monday, and it was so good to see them. We haven't seen them since we moved down to Florida in August. John has been doing a good bit with our older children, leaving me at home with Mary. He even took the older three shopping at a mall that's about 45 minutes away on Tuesday. Wasn't that brave of him? Right now, he's playing golf with the older two. I've got Rachel and Mary and clothes to fold.

Here are a couple of pictures for you:

Proud big sister. Doesn't Sarah Beth look so grown up?

Our Christmas picture. We had to wait until Mary was born to take them, so our Christmas cards will be late this year.

Good thing I get to keep our Pastor's kids once in a while or you'd be giving me baby fever. And yes, your husband is very brave!

Aurie, thanks!

Tracey, thanks! I'm not looking forward to John going back to work next week, but I guess he has to at some point.
