how loved are we?!

asher was baptized yesterday at church... an important day for our family - when we acknowledge that asher is uniquely part of god's covenant. micah was very intrigued by the water on asher's head. so much so that he want "more water asher" after it was over thinking he needed to get wet again very loudly proclaimed during matt's prayer. asher barely let out a peep. it was also special because my sister got to be there. she was in DC for a conference and took the train up here for 24 hours. it was a treat and i had extra help with the baking......
we had a small gathering after church to celebrate the baptism. our small party in our small apartment yielding 16 kids under that age of 10.......a few adults for a grand total of 60 people coming through our apartment from 3 - 7 yesterday afternoon plus one very special doggie (thanks for coming roxy). wow! john and i were humbled that we were graced with that many beloved friend..... and we had a chocolate fountain. we borrowed it, but it was SO cool. the pretzels were the biggest hit....even though i slaved away over homemade shortbread cookies. it was all fun! we feel amazingly blessed by how loved we are. thanks!

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!

more tidbits

i find it interesting....... .......how the two boys are in sync already. apparently we had not weathered the worst of operation big boy-no paci....he cried for almost an hour. what we thought would be an early bedtime was not....then asher (who was supposed to sleep until 2) woke up at midnight only to be followed by big brother 10 minutes later "scared." .......how 20 & 30 years olds (including myself) walk around the locker room delicately covered up by the towel that is slightly too small to cover my rumpus..... and yet the 50 & 60 years old strut around with no shame. nora ephron claims that the things that we things we hate about out bodies in our 20s will be the things we long for in our 50s. funny how that works...maybe i'll lose my abandon and sit in the sauna naked as a jaybird..... naw!!! .......how fun sitting on the kitchen counter while daddy cooks is for a two year old. .......how much i want to cut my hair. .......how excited i am to have gott...
