Yes... we are still waiting for Caleb to make his debut. Good thing is that I got my scrapbooking delivery today so I can make his announcement cards while I wait, right?! That way I have something to do with my time at the hospital and am not bored the whole time. I think he is going to be the most prepared for kid we have had yet!! Ha!
Jay and Anna are enjoying their soccer practices so far. We have good coaches and they really keep their attention! I am going to take some picture tonight and tomorrow of practice so that I can post some on here. Then maybe their enthusiasm will show through in their pictures and not just my words!
Xavier and Sydney are still up to their crazy antics! They both LOVE to pat my belly and tell Caleb to "OUT!" Although, I often get the feeling that they are more excited that their grandmas and Aunt Mary are planning on coming over when the "big day" arrives!
We are in the process of meeting the new neighbors all around us and getting to know them. The people moving in next to us have a little girl about Anna's age and she is so excited to have a friend! I don't know who is more excited, us or them! Of course right about the time we fully get to know them we will be moving! Yep... that is right. We are up for orders to move anywhere from January to April of next year. We have no idea where we will be going or what Jerry will be doing. So we are praying and trusting God that it will all work out for the good of His will!
Other than that, we are plugging along and getting along! We miss our family and can't wait to see them! This will probably be our last holiday season close to home, so we are going to enjoy every moment of it and not hold back.
Hope all is well with everyone else!

The Countdown is on!
So this is our week of getting last minute things together so that when our new baby joins us, we are prepared! We were sort of caught off guard with Sydney being two weeks early, and didn't want to have a repeat of last minute shopping with this one. Good news is that we are past the threshhold of being sent away from base or they stop labor! Now we just have to get the contractions to DO something! My back hurts all the time now and I can feel the contractions, but I am afraid they are still Braxton-Hicks due to the fact that I can still walk around and talk and think! SO.... back to the waiting game it is.
Our first week of soccer practice has ended well. We got Jay on a team with the same coach he has had for the last 2 years, so that was a true blessing! He really enjoys playing and has a knack for the game. Of course he says he knows EVERYTHING about soccer! Ha! He did do really well with staying in the positions he had at practice. I was impressed with how much he has retained and how much he has grown. His team looks like it is going to be a good one. All the kids did a great job passing and working together as a team. And then there is Anna... bless her heart! She was so excited tonight because she made a goal, and then her coach says, "But Anna... your goal is down there!" She was a little embarrassed and then got over it and played her little heart out. Her team is a good mix of new kids and a couple experienced. We'll see if she remembers as much as Jay from last year.
Xavier and Sydney have now realized their true calling in life - at least for the time being - and that is to be partners in chaos. One will cause a distraction while the other gets into whatever it is they decide they need! For example, one will purposefully get in trouble to distract mommy while the other goes into the pantry to get the Twizzlers down to eat quietly until mommy leaves the room and then they will share! Oh yeah... lots of fun stuff.
Thankfully, we have had nice weather and the kids go out and play with daddy and mommy gets things done! I got the garage all swept out and organized, the kitchen put in order, and last minute laundry down today. AND we all took a nap! It was a good day. Now we just need to get the baby moving along! Full moon Saturday!
Hope your week is a blessed one!
