Sorry, everybody, for the very long pause! We had a nice Thanksgiving with Luke's family here at home. A couple of days after the holiday I started feeling pretty sick...thought maybe I had some bad turkey or something. Turns out, we will be welcoming a new little brother or sister to our family around the beginning of August. We were so surprised, I'm not kidding...I took five pregnancy tests. (is that denile?) Well, as we adjust to the idea and the changes it will bring to our family, I am trying to get through a really tough time of morning sickness (heightened by a wonderful round of the stomach flu running through our house last weekend). The reality of a new little person is still trying to work it's way into my world. I was very content and happy with our beautiful three. Now I am working on embracing (with grace, joy and thankfulness) the change of plans and the little blessing that God has dropped into our lives!
Anyway, the kids wanted me to announce the arrival of another new member of our family, Charlie Thomas. Charlie's a hamster and we adopted him in October. He has quickly wormed his way into all of our hearts as the sweetest, most gentle and best hamster in the whole world. I have never met a more congenial hamster. ( :
