... of an injury

We are two weeks out from our departure and have so, so, so much to do.  I realize I haven't blogged in awhile and I apologize (because I know how many of you are just dying to hear more of my ramblings...)

Many people have asked me if I will keep the blog going when we move to the Middle East and the answer is yes.  I hope to keep up with it more, actually.  The time difference with our friends and families will be 10 &11 hours, so there will have to be very scheduled skyping time.  So the blog will be the best way to keep everyone updated on the awesome things that I know Abram and Selah will be doing as they continue to grow.

Anyway, not much time right now, but I thought I would share a few videos with you...

The first one is from this morning.  The wonderful (and when I say wonderful, I mean WONDERFUL) people that we are staying with have a rock yard and a bunch of raised bed gardens.  It's a cool set up.  Abram and their son love to play out there and there have been no rock injuries in the past week.  But this morning Abram freaked us out a little.  He and Quinn were singing the song "Where is God" that Quinn made up.  It's a pretty cool song.  Well, here, just watch:



He was fine.  Obviously, my reaction was a bit much, but I was just imagining blood everywhere in that tiny moment of seeing his face go toward the rocks.  Anyway, since it turned out fine, I now can't watch the video without cracking up. Would have been a totally different story if he hadn't come out of it ok, though.

And then a video (really just audio) of Selah saying "Momomom" the other night in the car:


Pretty cool!  

Next update will probably be this weekend with Selah's 6 month post.  Can't believe that girl is 6 months already...

...of a name

If you've been tracking with us for awhile now, you may remember that when we were pregnant with Selah, we had a boy name chosen .  This time, we had a few boy options, but the old standby won out, because we really do like it a lot.  But just like two years ago, we still can't quite agree on a middle name for this kid. That's where you can help. His name is Simon.  After Simon Peter, the apostle.  It's five letters and it's Hebrew (like the other kids) and we like  it. But, here's the thing: We have four options for middle names.  The two that Quinn really like, I have been vehemently opposed to.  I will share them with you in the most unbiased (yeah, right) way possible and you can tell me if I'm wrong.  For real.  I won't be mad. He likes Simon Quinn and Simon Peter. Now, you may be thinking "Wait a minute... isn't Quinn Abram's middle name?" Why yes, yes it is. Much to the credit of his beloved parents, Quinn likes his na...

...of three

So we are having another baby.  Whew.  There, I said it.  No creative lead up and stunning reveal.  Just there .  Baby.  Bam. That's a little what it felt like to find out that a third child would be joining our ranks a bit short of 3.5 years after our first child was born.  We were content with our two.  A boy and a girl.  Who could ask for anything more, right?  Also, Quinn and I each have just one sister, so it seemed natural for us to stop at two. So that's what we were working to do.  I won't go into the details of it all with you in this forum, but we really were attempting to avoid pregnancy. So this wasn't a "woops" moment.  This was a "many things happening coincidentally" moment.  And so when we confirmed that we were, indeed, expecting another baby, there was a bit of shock (of course), but also peace and assurance in knowing that God definitely showed us His hand in it. We told Abram pretty early on and he...

... of a patent

... or maybe, just maybe , I'm jumping the gun :) A good friend told me the other day that she and her husband have been leaving church after the worship because she can't sit for an extended time in the folding chairs. Our church did a great thing and bought inexpensive folding chairs for our sanctuary in order to 1)save money and 2)be able to use the empty room for community type events in the neighborhood during the week. This is awesome. I support their decision and so does my friend who is leaving after the worship (and watching the previous week's sermon from home). But she is pregnant. She already had back problems and now (of course!) they are worse. My back is just starting to bother me and I know that there are many pregnant women with back problems and normal people with back problems who whimper inside a little every time they enter a room and see folding chairs. Until now, I had just sort of reconciled myself to the fact that sitting in a folding chair was ...
