Today marks the beginning of my final full week as a working mom. I think the girls know something is about to change. SJP was very tearful this morning as she left for school. She didn't want to go. She wanted to stay with me. I think it's going to be a long week.
SCP is now 4 months old and at her check-up last week weighed in at 15 lbs 9 1/2 oz and 24 1/2 inches long...WOW! Our pediatrician commented that it was about time to start the cereal and so we launched head long into that wave on Thursday. As of today, she's just about to get the hang of it! She gets rice cereal at least once a day now and will get more in the days ahead. We did have to change formula again due to some tummy issues. We've adjusted that and she seems to be doing MUCH better. Her runny nose is almost gone and you can tell she just feels better. She's started reaching for toys, rolling over (both ways), sucks on her hands constantly and just giggles and smiles at anyone and anything. She is just a joy! We are sooo blessed!
Our house is still on the market and we are waiting on God to take care of that little situation for us. We know He has the perfect person/couple to move right in. We just have to wait and trust in Him. CDP's last Sunday at RCBC is Jan 27th and is also Baby Dedication Sunday. I'm sure it will be emotional for us that day. God grew us so much while we were here both Spiritually and Numerically. I believe we would not have the family we have if we had not followed God's call to Madison. He has worked mightily in our lives these past 5 1/2 years. We are so torn with our emotions, for we love our family here but know our family in Hernando needs us. We pray for them each day that God will begin preparing them for His work and that the ground will be ready to plant and then ultimately reap a bountiful harvest. To those in Hernando reading this blog, we love you and miss you. We'll be there soon.
One last thing.....I know you may get tired of me mentioning Steven Curtis Chapman, but he wrote the greatest song about his oldest daughter on his newest album. It's title is Cinderella. You'll find it on my blog here...the second song labeled track 03. If you have girls, you should have your husbands listen to it....however, get the kleenex ready...it'll tear your heart out! Enjoy!
Boy, life sure is uncertain. You never know what God is up to. I'm sure of this one thing, the ride WON'T be boring!
Signing off for tonight......really tired...I can't wait until next Wednesday. I'm going to sleep for a very long time......or at least until SCP and SJP wake me up!
Love you all.........
