Up and through

You know it really has been a roller coaster ride for my family and I as of late. Financially there have been ups and downs and emotionally it has been taxing for numerous reasons. Liz lost her mom Karen, our Prius was in an accident that put the car in the shop for almost a month and Alexander has not slept well at night. This last issue has been the most difficult. I think I can say that much of what we have been dealing with would have been blunted if we had enough rest. It is so hard right now to be consistent with my ministry and to do much more than what I have to do.

We're about to go to Alabama for Christmas. We will leave early Sunday morning. With the onset of this trip we all seem to be getting sick. Matthew has been coughing. Alexander has congestion and Liz and I are on the verge of a cold. We're really under the weather, which is an apt description because we are unaccustomed to the fifty degree drop in temperature that happened a few days ago. The vast differences in temperature combined with the lack of sleep have really created a hazardous situation for our health.

I'm really hoping that we will be able to get some R & R as we head into the holidays.

Olivia Rose Baldwin

Okay so this entry is about four years late. Four years ago my little Olivia came into this world. And ever since she has been ball of energy and spunk. She has so much personality and I just hope that I can be the father she needs me to be. I hope that I can be the father that all my children need me to be. Olivia changes every day and her sparkling eyes light up the room. Olivia keep your sparkle and keep the light that you have because it brings me joy!

Sugar and Spice

Just about everything is ready for Isabella's arrival. We've painted Isabella and Lex's room a soft yellow or off-white and we painted the closet and trim a color called nature's green. We aslo rearranged the room and added a crib, changing table and several other things to make the room look really nice. We put together the new stroller that Liz was given at her baby shower at work and put the new carseat stand that goes with the stroller in the truck: the vehicle that Liz will be using. Over the past several weeks we've made additional changes to both the inside and outside of the house. Liz painted our bathroom a bright light green. We raked up the leaves in the backyard (although more have fallen since) and we put in a true compost pile in the back right corner with wire fencing that Liz attached to some metal stakes. I also planted a red oak in the front yard to replace the maple tree we had cut down and I planted a photinia bush to close up the gap between o...
