Dad's Bday Celebration

Yesterday was my dad's birthday. Tonight we all went out to Carabba's to celebrate, although it felt quite incomplete without Whitney and Brad. Devin and I said a little prayer before dinner that Sam would behave at the restaurant, because he is one squirmy little fellow. He did a pretty good job overall. He stayed entertained with an episode of Thomas the Train on my ipod, looking through a photo album I brought, reading books, and coloring. That boy is busy.

Abbie and Mama D. Abbie didn't like the first picture I took of her, but this one she approved of.





We drew pictures of Brad and Whitney so our family photo would still be complete.


Other updates:

The offer that was put on our house last week isn't going to happen after all. The couple decided they are no longer locating to Surprise. We are trusting God that this is all part of the plan and that everything will work out in His own due time.

I am going to have baby girl in 25 days!!!! Although (and I know I said this with Sam and it proved to be untrue), I really think she'll be here before then. I am downright huge and feeling strange pressure and cramping that I didn't feel with Sam until 37+ weeks. I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow...so I guess time will tell.

I love that you prepared all those things for Sam for dinner. MJ was and Josie is the same way. It makes eating out miserable. I always have to make sure my kids are super hungry so the food will entertain them. He is darling- I LOVE his hair!!!

With faith, all things are possible. You are so positive and ready to take on whatever His plan is for you! I love it. Thanks for being such a great example. :)

Your smiling!
I love that you purposely prayed for Sam to be good at dinner. It's hard eating out with kids especially in big groups which takes longer. If we go to restaurants, we go during the senior citizen hour before the rush. :)
I felt different the 2nd time too. I think it's because our bodies have been stretched out and are not is strong. I thought Carter was so low but turns out he wasn't. But we can hope for early arrivals!
