17 weeks!  I still haven't really "popped," but I'm proud of the tiny little baby bump I have--first time mommy speaking here :)  Sari snapped some pictures while she was here because my family was begging for some, so I thought I'd share them with ya'll  too  :)  Have a blessed day!

"Every good and every perfect gift is from above..."

"Human life is something that comes to us from beyond this world, and the purpose of our society is to cherish it and enable the individual to attain the highest achievement of which he is capable.  Human life is God-given and infinitely valuable."  --Harry S. Truman

"...fearfully, and wonderfully made...marvelous are thy works!"

We bought this old trailer that I have come to LOVE.  I'm having so much fun painting and fixing it up inside.  And the other really fun part is that the older couple that had lived here before us loved plants and flowers, so the landscaping all around the property is absolutely beautiful!  It's so much fun to keep seeing new things pop up, and shrubs and bushes come alive with color...There was quite a bit of work to get everything back in shape, but we felt absolutely blessed to move into a place like this.  It's become my little haven...coming home is always so much fun :)

I was just at the greenhouse today with two of my sister-in-laws and bought annuals to plant in some of the empty spaces...I think flowers are among the most beautiful parts of God's creation.  Just seeing the intricate design of a hundred very different kinds amazes me, and makes me think how very very much my Father must care about me if even the flowers get so much detail and care! And then from the vibrant bright colors to soft gentle colors; from the big wavy shapes to the small dainty shapes; from the great big bushes to the long slender stems of flowers...We have a very creative Maker!
