Some prayer requests and an update

It's been weeks since I've blogged...again. Life has been busy and full. Today I am praying for some very dear friends and ask that you would pray with me.
A very dear and looooonnnng time friend, Dave, is having his first treatment of chemo today for Follicular Lymphoma. He is young, a father to 5 children from age 7-20. Please pray for God's healing and for His peace that passes all understanding. My heart breaks for him and his family as they walk this path. Please pray that God's awesome power will be shown and lives would be changed for His glory through all of this!
Another dear friend, Erin, is scheduled for a c-section this morning. This is her first baby and it is very breech. Pray for a safe and healthy delivery and easy recovery.
My hubby and I had a WONDERFUL getaway to a beautiful, rather warm climate. It was so perfect! Just the break we needed in the middle of the craziness of life to reconnect and spend good quality time together.



And just for fun, a few pics of my girls having fun at homeschool co-op. We are very blessed to have a great professional photographer as part of our co-op who so graciously wandered around with her camera the other day to get some great candid shots for the yearbook. Thanks Susan!



And this shot was taken by my good friend, Mary Lou - AKA Miss Lou Lou :-)



And finally, I have 10 weeks and 5 days left until my due date! I can't believe I'm almost there! Can't wait to hold our sweet Caroline!

This touched my heart this morning

I haven't blogged in such a long time. I apologize! I probably won't be blogging again for at least another week and a half. I am taking some time away from the computer to pray about some very weighty issues this week. Then next week my hubby and I are taking a much needed getaway - just the 2 of us (or 3 of us :0), but Caroline doesn't really demand very much attention just yet). I wanted to leave you with a link to a blog I read regularly. I can never read Angie's blog without tearing up a little and out right sobbing other times. Her writing reaches to the very depths of the soul. I know of so many people stuggling through hardships right now, whether personal, spiritual, financial. This blog is so touching. It's a little long, but please take a few minutes to read it. It will touch your heart.
