25 Weeks

Actually, I'm at a point where I want to start counting down. I have 15 weeks to go, and that doesn't seem so bad. This pregnancy was rough in the beginning. It's been my most difficult pregnancy so far. I'm sure it's because I have to take care of Lila and Calvin, all while being tired and uncomfortable and grouchy. I keep thinking of all the women I know who have more kids than me and have been pregnant more times than me. I don't know how they did it. ANY of it. I'm guessing they just did it and it became doable, if that makes any sense. I can remember how hard I thought it was with just one baby, now I have two and don't know why I ever thought one baby was hard. I guess things just work out when we do our best and rely on the Lord for help. That's my plan, anyway.

Here's a picture for posterity's sake.

Up, Up and Away

For play group this week, we had the annual rocket launch at the Blattman's. I'm not sure how long they've been doing this but this was our second time. I didn't blog about it last year so here's pictures from then.

I can't believe how much Lila has changed!

Although, one thing that hasn't is I still can't get her to look at the camera and smile.

Here's pics from this year's event. 

It's such a fun activity. The kids color their rockets and then we tape them up and send them flying in the air. The kids even get to flip the switch. I know I look more excited in the pics but Lila loved it too. She asked to do it again and Kim was nice enough to let her. Calvin was a good sport too. He played/destroyed his rocket while watching it all.

Thanks Kim, for hosting this fun activity. We will miss you and your family when you move!
