our summer house guest

We have been busy busy the last few months. So, apologies for the extreme lack of posting. We were contemplating putting our house on the market and were working away on our house project list. But now, we are just trying to get our house ready for a new summer house guest.

This June we will welcome a little baby Irwin and we couldn't be happier! We are so grateful for this opportunity to be parents and are humbled by the amazing gifts our God gives us, even when we don't deserve them. I can't believe I am now in my third trimester. Besides a couple of minor disgusting incidents of getting sick while driving, my pregnancy has been very smooth, for which I am thankful. I'm relishing in the energy I have now, although not getting very far on the nursery or other planning. Just daydreaming of this little one...

And remembering that my God loves to give good gifts to his imperfect children. I felt at times that God was not hearing our prayers. We grieved and waited and wondered. But, though we weren't always faithful through our suffering, God was faithful all along. And now we can rejoice.

"You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!"
Psalm 30: 11-12
