Such a Mix of Feelings

Yes, these are my precious folk taken on Christmas Day. I love them so much and yet get so frustrated. They are young adults...those are two key words: "young" and "adults". So how far can I go in advising, etc? My son has brought me much joy in the past and some questions lately. I pray for him the right friends who will keep him accountable and close to the Lord. I pray for his future wife...that the Lord will bring her soon and that she'll be a wonderful, strong Christian. I pray for him the job he needs to find himself and what he wants to do.
Whew! For my daughter and son-in-law I pray patience and love for each other, especially as Madison makes her appearance very soon. I pray for good health for Madison and Erin and a safe delivery. Then I pray for sensitivity on Brad's part as he helps her daily and that he will be a godly father to my granddaughter. I am so blessed. So here we go, 2009!

FUN!

Madison in 3-D

Erin and Brad had a 3D ultrasound done a week ago. So cute. You can really see her nose, mouth, facial features even though she wouldn't move that little arm down from her face. It was fun and things seem good and she IS a girl. Waiting to see if the decision is Madison Elise, or Madison Nicole, or Madison Faith.
Meanwhile, things have been crazy busy with Christmas parties nightly and trying to do 3 weeks of work in one. Looking forward to Christmas with the family and I hope we'll get some good talking time with Stephen and that he'll be very open with us.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Today we celebrate 29 years of marriage! Seems like quite an accomplishment. Ha. Next year we plan to do something really special, Lord willing. Tonight we went to The Cheesecake Factory. That was it although John did bring me some roses. So sweet.
In other news, Stephen now lives in Gainesville at Jake Webster's house (basement apartment). He is looking for a job. I pray for him pretty constantly.
Erin had her 3rd glucose screening today. She managed to hold it down. We should find out soon if she has gestational diabetes. We pray not. Meanwhile she's in her 26th week now!
