POLAND 365 :: WEEK 11

March 11-Batman Bear was ready to bust out of the hospital
as much as Steve and Isaac were...and they came home this
day and we are happy that Isaac has made a full recovery!
March 12-These three were VERY happy to be back together again.
March 13-We were tired from the past couple weeks of
sickness and had some early nights to bed and tried to
rest and get our own energy back after several weeks
of sickness around our home. 
March 14 - Lots of catch up to do on homework for language class as we
missed several classes. 
March 15 - Getting our guest bed ready for
a two week visit from our sweet Florida
friend!
March 16 - The kids were SOOO excited to go to
the airport and await the arrival of our friend from
Florida. This was a sweet moment and I was just
as happy to hug her too! Our kids love Larinda
and she is affectionately known as "rinda or Aunt
rinda" around here. She has loved on our family
since we first met her and our kids adore her. We
are grateful for friends like her, who come to see
us and after a couple weeks of hard days, it is
refreshing to see a good friend.
March 17-As Easter approaches here in Poland,
we are finding bunny rabbits everywhere, our
kids enjoy seeing them all over. These are small
ones but there are also some very large ones as
well!

Adding to the Family!

Sitting down to write this blog post has been a long time coming (well at least 20 weeks or so!) But we are excited to announce that we are expecting our fourth child! Below, you will see some pictures highlighting parts of this pregnancy so far and also I talk about the name we have chosen for our little guy. Enjoy! I'm starting with this picture, because this little guy (left) pictured here with our son Isaac, I like to say is the reason we are having another baby, haha! Isaac has been smitten with this little one since he first held him as a baby two years ago and he began praying we would have another baby, specifically a boy! It's such a neat part of this story to me and I'm so thankful for our son's heart ( and friends who have cute kiddos!) This was taken right after we told the kids I was pregnant. We bought them a book titled "New Baby" and it took a while for them to clue in, because we have several friends that are currently pregnant...

Dear Grandma...

Image
Today is my grandmother's birthday. This is a big deal. Today she celebrates 93 full and amazing years here on earth. My grandma is a special lady (more on that in a minute) and the only grandparent I ever knew (long story for another time). I often think it's amazing that my kids get to know all four of their grandparents, and we cherish the moments when we are all together. The past couple of years have been a bit up and down for my grandma in regard to her health and honestly I hate being across the world during this time and also a bit envious when my brothers and cousins get to visit her when they are able (so all y'all give her a hug when you see her next for me!) It's never easy being apart from family, but especially when one is ill. So I write, because it's what I can do...no she's not going to be on Facebook reading the link to our blog, but I know my mom will gladly call her and read this to her. So grandma, here is my birthday present to you! Dea...

Surprise Arrival!

This is a long post. But many of you have asked about the story of Milo's arrival. So I wanted to take time to write it out, details and all. But  for those who don't want to read the entire story with all the details, feel free to scroll through and just look at the pictures! A lot of you were shocked to hear of his arrival...so were we! (After all, we were still 25 days out from his due date when he made his appearance). I had just gone to my 36 week checkup two days prior, all was healthy and well with baby and with me and there were no signs of early labor. At that appointment, the doctor said that I was 1 cm dilated, but honesty I knew I could be at that for several weeks before seeing any progress to labor. I had a long list of nesting projects I had been slowly working on and was hoping to finish before Milo’s arrival.  Thursday morning rolled around, I realized I was beginning to show signs of possible labor nearing, but still wasn’t too alarmed just yet, after all...
