Merry Christmas!

Two posts in one day, I don't know what has gotten in to me!  We thoroughly enjoyed a nice, quiet Christmas Eve, just at home and church with our own little family (weekends and Christmas Day were spent with extended family).

Officially third trimester!!  Since I've never gone past 37 weeks, and I'm having a lot of contractions already, both my doctor and I think I once again won't make it past 37 weeks.  So... probably only 8 - 9 weeks left!!  I better get going, I've done nothing to get ready for this baby yet!

First sewing project

This is "Ginger" the kitty.  She got the supplies and pattern for Christmas, and I think she liked making it?  Her patience was wearing a little thin towards the end, but not bad for a just turned 8 year old.  How is it possible I have a child old enough to learn how to sew?!

Saints

Isabella has been bringing these saints home from school every day this week.  I just love them!  (Since my blog isn't even close to being up to speed, she's attending Catholic school 20 miles away now, and we're all loving it!)  I chuckled when she brought home Juan Diego, as it reminded me of our puppet making days, Meredith.  :)

St. Ann, St. Juan Diego, St. Lucy, and St. Nicholas

Stepping out of my comfort zone...

Life is moving right along with all sorts of things going on this advent season.  I am finally feeling like a functioning human being again, and for some one who started showing later this time than any of my other pregnancies, it seems I'm making up for it now!  25 + weeks, almost to third trimester!!
