One More Massive Recap

Thank you all so much for your prayers - they are such a blessing to me! It is hard to describe the peace that just fills me knowing that we are being prayed for, but I can tell you I feel it day and night. I have continued to have sporadic contractions this past 24 hours, but nothing regular. So for now I am staying put and waiting to see how things look at my appointment on Tuesday. I continue to be incredibly blessed with friends bringing food, decaf peppermint mochas (ohmygoodness so so yum!), and visiting me. This morning, a lady from my church brought me communion. She prayed with me and read some of the scripture from the service this morning, and was just a wonderful blessing in my day. I also remembered that our sermons are on podcasts through the church's website, so I plan on listening to those. Not being able to go to church was one of the things that made me sad about being on bed rest - how awesome is it that my church is coming to me?!

So that's what's going on with me at the moment. BUT back to our regularly scheduled programming... I wanted to finish catching up on some of the things we've been up to since I took a little blogging break in October.

Are you ready? LOTS of pictures coming right up!

On one of my ultrasounds back in October, we caught Henry sucking his thumb - how cute is he?!



I took two trips to D.C. for work and got to spend time with some good friends in Maryland - but somehow didn't take any pictures. Well, my friend Julie took one picture of me, but I'm not posting it ha!!

Then the girls and I took a trip down to Louisiana to visit my dad - the girls had a blast, especially on his trampoline!





Sophia in hot dog heaven - this girl has a serious love for hot dogs (so much so that I basically can't keep them in the house)



Back in Arkansas, we went to the pumpkin patch



With one of Sophia's best friends - Taylor and one my best friends, her mama, Ashley (who also took me to two plays... they are about to move away to Northwest Arkansas and I'm trying not to think about it, I'm so sad. But at least I'll have a great excuse to visit up there more often!)



Look at this little stinker's face!





I made some cute little chocolate critters for the girls' school Halloween party



and the girls and I took a long walk to gather leaves, which we waxed (thanks for the awesome idea, Sarah!)





And for Halloween, Amelia was Wilbur the pig and Sophia was Charlotte the spider







We cheered on the Hogs



helped Daddy work in the yard



and Ashley and I got to meet The Pioneer Woman and get our cook books signed!!! Ree was every bit as charming and funny in person as she is on her blog - this was after a long day at work and TWO HOURS of standing in line, but I'm still glad I got the picture



The girls made fun crafts at school





and climbed trees



Davis refinished the floors in our bedroom, so the girls and I spent a week living with another friend of mine and her daughter Zoe, who is Sophia's best friend



I discovered wearing a scarf is a great distraction from my growing... everything. Well, as soon as I put it on, Sophia ran and put hers on too



I love that girl!

And that, my friends, is what we've been up to!
