The Big Move is Coming!

Drew is enjoying his painting adventure at Grandma's house. Maybe we have a future Monet on our hands!!!

It may be a while before our next post because we are getting ready to close on our new house this Friday! We will have Internet shortly after moving in, however we do not have a computer to hook it to. Our laptop is most likely too old and too slow to handle the high speed Internet. We are hopeful that we will have plenty of help moving on Saturday from the young adults in our Sunday school class to assist us since I have been threatened if I even touch a box...

We have tried to finish up all of our Christmas shopping in the event that Caleb decides to come early! We are taking a hospital tour this evening to become familiar with the facilities at Chesapeake General. Time is ticking away! I am visiting the doctor twice a week now until delivery to keep an eye on my health and also doing a non-stress test where I have to sit hooked to a monitor for 30 minutes to monitor my contractions and the babies heart rate. If I haven't gone into labor on my own by around Jan.3rd, they will induce labor. That means only FOUR MORE WEEKS (or less)... we are so excited!

We went to the Oceanfront to see the Christmas lights and Drew absolutely loved them! I hope to post those pictures soon. Drew, Grandpa and Daddy walked around the neighborhood last night to check out all of the lights. Drew calls them "Chrishmash lighs".

We have been busy going to church on Sundays and Wednesdays to the advent services. Drew has been participating in Sunday school, and they are putting on their program this Sunday morning. I am not sure if he will actually "participate" or not, but it is exciting that he is starting to get it. Whenever we see a picture of an older man with a cane, or even see the Christmas candy canes in people's yards he says, "God". It is so precious. He even sings a little bit of jingle bells- "jingle bells, jingle bells all the way". Christmas should be a blast with him this year. We are hoping to be settled enough to at least get one Christmas tree up to put our presents under.

Next week we will celebrate Grandpa's 60th birthday! Shhh... don't tell, there may be some surprises....

Until next time, keep us in your prayers that we have a smooth closing and move, and that Caleb decides to wait on his big arrival until AFTER the move...
