35 weeks

 Finally...
We got our maternity photos back! They were taken at 33 weeks and I am glad we did them then. I was just round enough! Our youngest Zoe was not in the best mood but her shenanigans proved to be cute in photo form as kids are so good at doing.

 My newest read.... A Kathryn Kulman book... It is regarding the Holy Spirit as a person..There are eleven messages from her radio show. She is still so relevant and enlightening today. She has such a daughters heart!

Exercise.....  I try to walk BEFORE dinner now before the need for resting kicks in.

34 weeks....

                              34 WEEKS

How I am Feeling....

Feeling huge!...I tell myself I wont eat big meals...but I pick all day and when I sit with the fam at night I just keep ON eating.... like beans.... and things I know will give me gas....

Exersize...

at least I am keeping up on the four essential exercises..(according to Parents..The Daily Kick)

Kegels
Cat yoga pose
Squats
Butterfly stretches

oh.... and lots of walking!

Things I still need to purchase......

I really need a belly belt and a new ace bandage for my leg and some nursing bras. We still have to buy and make the belly cast!

Spiritual Leader Progress

Mike and I had a date and we told each other what would be helpful to us both regarding switching roles. He wants and desires to be the spiritual leader, so to help in the transition, I volunteered to take over the finance department.

It was a family nite/date nite combined.

september devotions

Septembers topic for family devotions is Goodness. We have had a great time utilizing the bible and movies and last years Guidepost edition of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

We have watched;

The World Trade Center
What If?
We Bought a Zoo

Each of these movies show how God can bring something good out of bad. The kids are interacting and sharing times in their lives where God has intervened on their behalf. We also are incorporating the concept of Compare and Contrast into the devotions, which is a favorite English writing exersize of mine, and I am finding the kids are quite proficient at it.
