The produce my parents grow. It is quite amazing that they have such green thumbs. So far I have not found mine, maybe later in life I will.

23 1/2 Weeks


















I am so sorry for the lack of posts. I am going to try and get better about posting more frequently. We have had a very busy rest of the summer. Ben has been extremely busy with MAXlife, which I help with as much as I can. He also had a great opportunity to do a two week series in the main auditorium. He always amazes me with how well he uses his gifts that God has given him to speak and share God's call on our lives. He always gives a great challenge and the members always give him great feedback. We finished our busy July with a trip to see my parents on their farm in early August. It was the last time we will visit without the baby. We got to relax and visit with my family. We also go to see Ben's friends from high school who are expecting a baby girl the exact same day as us. We are now back in our normal routine as I have returned to work until November 20th and Ben is getting ready to kick off another year with MAXlife. September is going to bring big changes. Ben is going to paint next weekend, so look for before and after pictures of the nursery, we are going to do some more preparation to get ready for the baby, we are going to continue thinking of name, and we are going to Washington D.C. with Ben's parents. We always like to go somewhere with Ben's parents in the fall and this fall will be the last time we will be going just the four of us for quite a while. We are both very excited and can't wait for the trip! I am still mastering adding pictures to the blog. Ben is not home to help so you are stuck with this for now. The pictures are in reverse order, so sorry, but at least I got them here! Enjoy the pictures!!
