My Precious "growing" Family!

I know it has been a while since I last posted a blog.  For those of you who read my blog and can't wait for the next post...I will try to do better!  (There may not be many of you, but still, I'm sorry!)  This last month has been a whirlwind and extremely crazy.  Let me give you a little glimpse into the madness...

• In the beginning-middle of May we were packing up the home we have lived in for 6 years
• We moved to our new home over May 19th-21st.  (Thank you so much to all those who helped us!)
• We celebrated 7 years of wedded bliss on May 22nd (This is our "Year of Jubilee" and I am claiming the promises of what that means, and praying the Lord will make it a reality!)
• The following weekend was my 33rd birthday and Memorial Day weekend
• The next weekend I left for our church's Women's Retreat...which was wonderful and refreshing.
• The week after that, Nathan left for a full week to take 30 Junior Highers to Summer Camp
• That brings us to the current week.

As you can see, there are many things to talk about and blog about, and I keep having these running blog ideas in my mind, but just never had the time to sit down and write.  Then I would get stopped, because I didn't know where to start!  One big blog I will tackle soon is to talk about this whole moving process and what the Lord has been teaching us through it!  So, stay tuned for that story and for pictures of our new home at a later date!

Today, I want to share with you some amazing pictures that my friend and co-worker Debbie Becker took of my precious family and I.  I always wanted to do some professional belly and family pictures, especially if I never get the privilege of being pregnant again.  I just could never justify the cost.  Debbie is a budding photographer and agreed to take these pictures for us.  What a sweet blessing.  I want to share some of them with you now.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they turned out!  (We took these pictures on Memorial Day when I was 30 1/2 weeks pregnant.)  Enjoy...

When Debbie first arrived, Judah had fallen asleep in his high chair while eating lunch.  It's amazing we got any good pictures of him at all, since all this happened right before nap time and he was a tired little boy!

I love this picture!  Debbie was trying to get Judah to smile and he was giving her his famous "NO" stance!

Nathan is walking a "mile in my shoes"...well maybe an inch or two!
