“I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.” 1 Samuel 1:27
We have a healthy baby girl on the way. Olivia Neil’s measurements look good, she has a strong heart beat, and is very active.
May God bless you and watch over you.
May God shine His face toward you and show you favor.
May God be favorably disposed toward you,
And may He grant you peace.

13 Ways I Am Getting Ready for Warmer Weather
1- Switching my bed linens. Thanks to Les I got some white sheets which are SO much cooler. All I had was a set of dark sheets.
2- I’m trying to sit outside more to get some sun. I’m a little pasty!
3- Thinking about going shorter with the ‘do; but I am prego- and the my hair may not cooperate as it should.
4- Shaving my legs. That’s right, I can count on one hand how many times I shave my legs during the winter. That’s how we roll here.
5- Bathing my dog more. She is losing her winter coat.
6- Slowly switching my long sleeves for my short sleeves in my closet.
7- I packed the boys’ coats up last weekend.
8- Rubbing on the coconut foot cream at night getting ready for constant wear of flip flops.
9- Trying to keep my toe nails clean. That’s a little tough with the protruding belly!
10- Cooking lighter meals at night.
11- Cleaning out the fireplace and replacing the wood with some flowers- fake ones of course, because I don’t keep those things alive!
12- Getting my white shoes ready to wear after Easter. I’m glad Easter is early this year (Yes, I follow the “Grandma Rule” of not wearing white shoes between Labor Day and Easter. I can’t help it, it’s ingrained. And, no, I don’t do “winter white.”)!
13- Finishing up indoor stuff so I can focus on doing some outdoor yard work- minus planting stuff, see #11.

What a Weekend!
We had a very busy and exhausting weekend! Friday night we got o go see the Playhouse Disney Live show thanks to our awesome Mimi! The show was a little tortuous for me, but the boys really enjoyed it. Then we spent the night at a hotel with our super duper friends like it was a co-ed slumber party at the preschool level. We all got to see how immodest my Cole is as he had no problems running around his "Princess Abby" with no clothes on. Thankfully, Ms. Leslie thought it was funny too (I hope!) The room had 2 queen size beds and the boys I shared one which actually went well- sans Judah. I got more sleep than I thought I would with only one set of feet (Jonah) in my belly :). Saturday morning was breakfast at the hotel (anywhere I don't have to cook and clean is alright with me) and then off to the ba-zoo! Notice the man-grip Cole has on Abby!
My camera is still out so these pics were courtesy of Ms. Leslie (The one of Judah was actually at Chuck E. Cheese's a few weeks ago; but we couldn't leave him out).

Foundation Friday
This is John 16:33, but the entire chapter of 16 is great (read it here). I am amazed how often I run into strong believers who really believe they are above having hard times. It's as though they have risen above not knowing which direction God wants for them, or going through a season of need, or even just being spiritually dry. Have we forgotten we live in a FALLEN world, the same one Satan was given rule over- HELLO!?!? Yet, we expect to be better than "God with skin on" and always know what to do next or even from where our next meal comes. I think the enemy has trapped us in our pride way more than we like to admit. NOTHING is attained on our own efforts. Yes, we will have many trials in this life. If you're aren't struggling on some level, I would ask who you're serving. Why would God make it so comfortable here that we would not long to go home? Hmmmmmm...
