Mine made me very tired and I didn't even do that much cooking! *yawn* ootda I could write a post like this about our Mackenna Mae...Kenna, Sweet cheeks, Mac, Macky Mae, Baby Doll...well, you get the idea!

Aaron's posted pictures on blogspot so.. I think it's ok?  login to comment hide comments Picture Blog 11-20-08 09:40pm EST So much to blog about... I think I'll have to let the pictures do most of the talking this time around. (click on the picture to see the gallery) I'll just say - 1. I LOVE Rhode Island and all of the amazing people we saw and met for the first time! So many pleo people! It was so fun to put faces with the screen names and chat in person! 2. I LOVE visiting with Jody and watching our two cuties play together! 3. I LOVE our new Baby Hawk carrier! It is amazing! 4. I LOVE my boy! He is a crazy kid who keeps me laughing!

They look like they were having so much fun!  janedoe awww!  tommyswife Your baby boy is adorable! Love the fishy face! Ok, question. I like the thought of carrying, ecspecially an older baby on my back, but how do you get them in there? Do you have to have someone help? :)  charirosey I love your baby hawk! I'm still working on E liking a carrier to begin with :-/  charirosey Jack is too cute!  laurar209 TOO cute! All those pictures... I loved looking through them!

I was hoping you'd become an auntie on my birthday:(  login to comment hide comments travels 11-16-08 09:51pm EST I'm really excited because, Lord willing, I'm going to be visiting two new states tomorrow! I will be able to add Connecticut and Rhode Island to my list of states I've visited. We are visiting the congregation in Providence to attend the gospel meeting they are having with Leon Mauldin for the next two nights. I'm also very excited to visit with the Tostis, and even more excited that the two little guys who were born on the same day will get to meet and spend some time playing together! Fun, fun! I'll definitely be taking pictures! Fellowship with brothers and sisters in Christ all across this nation and even the world is such a precious thing! I cherish the relationships I've cultivated over the years with dear ones far and near. What a blessing it is to be a part of God's family, making connections and seeing old friends almost everywhere you go. What a blessing that we have modern technology to keep in touch so easily when we are far apart. This past week we got our passports for an upcoming trip to meet our brothers and sisters in Christ in Guatemala at the end of February. It's such an adventure being a preacher's wife! I, who am perfectly content to stay at home, rooted firmly where I am planted, am learning to be like Sarai, following her husband wherever God leads him. *deep breaths* I wonder if Sarai knew the language where she went? I don't know a word of Spanish! :) (5 older comments) spinningbee say HI to the Martineaus for us! We'll be missing crossing paths with you by 1 week and 1 day! :(  curlie Sounds like fun! Have a good time. I joke with Ethan that I am living the led-about life, à la 1 Cor. 9:5. ;)  nycami We're so proud of you - home or away!  ootda Wow! You have some exciting stuff coming up in your little world!!!! I know that you will make the best of each moment, and will cherish the memories! We are blessed to have met you in Greencastle!!!  meridith Wow! I didn't know that ya'll were going to Guatemala. I'm sure that will be an exciting trip and it will be neat to worship with brethren in another country.  tommyswife Wow! Safe travels. It sounds like a fun adventure!  raifhaus I am thankful you are coming. There will definitely be some discomfort - but I have confidence the experience and knowing these brethren will be an awesome blessing for you. I just can't wait to share! And I love that they will know you. It is so good for them to meet North American women and sisters in Christ who aren't the stereotype they see on television. Thank you for following your husband on this crazy adventure!  raifhaus And I'm thrilled for you to go to RI!! I still have a glimmer of hope that we might zip up there while in PA/NY. Not sure we can work it in. But would so love to.  madtomkidd I guess it depends on what tv shows they're watching. If it's "Little house on the prairie" they might get a good guess at what you're like (totally in a good way!)  mrs_rosshead I will be meeting you tomorrow at the Tosti's. I'm looking forward to it. :)  mrs_rosshead Oh, I guess tonight at the meeting! haha!  laurar209 Have a lovely time... in both places! So wish I could do the same trips, but in any case, I know you'll be a lovely example and great encouragement to be around. :)  sallyanne Guatemala! Wow! What an adventure!!  timstarr I can't wait to see pictures of Sean and Jack! And videos, too, if it can be managed! And it's so cool that you are going to see the Raifs in Guatemala... I had no idea.  robynbobm cool  cruisingmom As you zip up I-95 you will be going by where Kelly lives in CT. Y'all have safe travels, tomorrow and in February...how exciting!   mr_and_mrs_berry Oh Heather, the church at Providence is full of wonderful brethren! We know: her, her husband, her, her, her mother, and her and more who are not on pleo. You know his faolks live there right? And as you head up I95, if you get off exit 57 you can visit Bishops Orchards :)  marla *hug* I just learned that today is the 9-year anniversary of the bonfire...Just thinking of you. Love you, Moses!  jaydon Heather, it was so good to meet you in person. You are a lovely example of a Godly woman - my young daughter agreed - thankyou! Your son is so precious and one happy baby, I can not wait to see pictures of he and Sean.  ktjomoody Heather, thank you for looking up the passages on nursing in the Bible. I enjoyed reading your thoughts. I'm really thinking through a lot of parenting things right now. It's wonderful to have scripture to look at to help mold my thoughts on things. I'm not sure I'll ever have all the answers!  robynbobm I really hope it is just a hormone shift. Thanks for the info!  littlelamb I love traveling around and meeting new christians- it's so wonderful to know that we are surrounded by our christian family even when we don't know it.  sarafranklinhicks That will be really nea! Our love for Christ is a universal language, and the brothers and sisters there will be so uplifted by your journey to meet and support them. That's fantastic!  nycami Congratulations !!!!! and by the way, I love you sooooooooo much.  robynbobm glad it was funny and not just weird, haha! :)  login to comment hide comments 5 >>   25 >>   >>>
