Our little Punky turned two last week. We're so grateful for her! She had a wonderful birthday, and was showered with lots of love.

I got caught up on adding pictures to our image galleries, so click the link below to see all the pictures since May.

Bethany is walking! She officially started taking steps just days before she turned 11 months. What fun it is to watch her grow and learn.

We have 5 1/2 weeks till Hannah's due date. Though I'm really praying she's early, as I'm feeling quite uncomfortable, I'm not going to plan on her arriving early. God knows just when she needs to come. We're anxious to meet her!

I would especially appreciate prayer that I persevere with joy these last weeks. I find myself discouraged and quite irritable a lot. I'm also anxious as to the timing of labor/delivery. We made it to the birthing center only 9 minutes before our last one was born... I'd like just a little more time than that, but I don't want to misjudge and be laboring long away from home.

Thank you to all who leave comments -- though I'm not very prompt at getting to them, it's nice to see who's checking in on us, and your words of encouragement are a blessing.

(thank you to Katy and Sarah for their help with taking pictures)
