She is growing fast, and we are trying to make the most of our time with her.... it could be only 16.5 years left! As hard as it can be in the day-in, day-out, her time with us will be done before we know it. Pray that we will be intentional in our time with her and prepare her for what the Lord has for her. That we would be faithful parents. It's so easy to be selfish and think about our own desires. Pray that we would, 'consider the needs of others as more important than our own,' and that we would, 'outdo one another in showing honor.' That we wouldn't be self-righteous parents, but that we would help Aren understand that just as much as she needs a Savior, so do we. Her sin may look different and come out more obviously, but ours is still there too. It's the Lord's grace to us to provide the punishment for our sins by his death. We will not and can not be perfect parents, but through our failings Christ will be shown.
Pete has been really busy with school and work. He is working on plans for another bathroom remodel and a closet remodel. His drawings are impressive. Let's just say the man has skills. School is still going well for him, with only 6 weeks left! He will be done the week of Thanksgiving but to him it feels like it is flying by.
The baby has been really active in the womb just like Aren, except his kicks/punches/elbows are a lot stronger. For the most part I am feeling better, just tired at times and needing a little nap or coffee. =) I'm ok with both too! We are excited about the cooler weather and the fall season- it is our favorite time of year. I asked Pete if we could put up the Christmas tree today.... I know, I am excited, and Pete thinks I'm jumping the gun a little bit. We are going to have to wait.. sigh... but at least I have something to look forward to!
