Follow the Light

Well, here we are headed into the holiday season! I love this time of the year. We made a huge batch of homemade chex-mix last night that made the house smell wonderful!!!! This time of year makes me want to eat ALL day long. That probably wouldn't be the best thing in the world for me to do. hehehe.

Things are starting to get better pregnancy wise. I still have some rough evenings, but my energy is coming back and I think I am starting to feel the little bean move around. Actually, I think avacado would be the correct size description right now. We find out on Nov. 11th what the baby is, and we can't wait!!!!

I think we are going to get Lorelei her new big girl bed this weekend or next. I am very excited about that. I think she is too. We took her into room-to-go last weekend and let her see it and sit on it, and she was very excited! She has begun to speak in small sentences, and amazes me daily with the little things she is starting to pick up. We can now count to 10 and are beginning to sing the abc's. What a blessing it is to be home and be a part of all her learning and developing. I am so thankful for the opportunity that I have. So thankful for a husband that works to support his family!

Speaking of husband. Now for the job update. Unfortunately, the job has not worked out. The higher ups decided it would be more cost efficient to higher a uniform for the job. This was a big disappointment for us. It seemed to be a very large door that God had opened for Danny. so, the big question we asked was Why? right now to me, I see it as maybe He wanted to see if Danny was willing to go out on a step of faith, but it wasn't the right time for it. I am clinging to the promise of Jeremiah 29:11. Obviously despite maybe not wanting to be, Danny is where he is supposed to be right now. We are going to choose to follow the Light.

Coming soon

I have a job update that will take awhile to type up, so be looking for that in the next day or two. We have been soooooo busy this week. I have left each morning and not gotten home till after 9:00 every night. Most of it has been spending time with family and grandparents that were in town and tomorrow I am going to holiday market and a fabric shop for some christmas stuff for Lorelei. YEA!!! Anyways.....long update coming soon. toodles!

Roll Call

Lorelei has a new thing that she loves to do....when she goes to bed she goes through roll call of everyone that she believes needs to be in the bed with her. It really us a funny thing to see her run for all of them when we say it is time for night night. Of course the most important is her "lovey" but we also have Elmo, Nemo, bunnies, meow (cat), pig, dog....etc. I will have to get a picture with her holding them all in her arms running to her bedroom. It is too cute!

We went to a family reunion today. It was Danny's side of the family and it is always fun to watch when a bunch of Weston's get together. I love any chance Lorelei gets to see mamaw (danny's grandmother) because she is 94 and as alert and full of life as ever. She has the best memory of anyone that I have ever met. She can really remember anything that has ever happened to her. She is a sweet sweet lady! I am so glad Lorelei gets to know her even if it is just for a few years.

We are now into the second trimester of this pregnancy. It really seems to be flying by! I can't believe it really. Next month we will be finding out what we are having! We can't wait! I feel as though I am definetly starting to show now, and I know that means hopefully soon I will get the feel the litte one moving around! I can't wait. Life is such a miracle! We are so thankful for the blessings that God has given us and can't wait to see what He has in store!
