My 27th week

It's hard to believe I'm 2/3 through this pregnancy. It has gone by so quickly. Each pregnancy we pick out a name to call the baby before its born.. in the past Caleb and Titus were "Epaphroditus" then we picked Titus' name (which is close to Epaphroditus) so this time we came up with a new name.... "Onesimus." Recently I had to explain to the boys this will not be the baby's name once he is born. (We have not picked a name yet...if that was your next question). I can tell he is getting much bigger..not only do I feel him all the time and even can watch the movement of my belly as he does flips. It's a neat time.
It's been nice having the summer here and being able to do more things with people. This is my last week of cleaning the church so I'm looking forward to even more time with friends and kids. Even this past week we were able to have some summer fun. We went downtown on Monday with the day camp kids on the bus...the kids even loved that...but the reason we went was to see a play at the library. There are two people who go around putting on plays. This summer they did Mark Twain's "Jumping frog of Calaveras County." Can't say I ever read the book but we really enjoyed the play. I was a little concerned the kids might not really enjoy it but it was plenty funny and entertaining. Tuesday we had Caleb's friend over and her new puppy - "Princess Fluffy Bear." She stayed for close to 4 hours while her parents went out for lunch. We made some food coloring paper. Then Friday Joanna and Noah got to come over for lunch and some card making time. We wish it could have been longer but we are hoping to get the chance to do more together the rest of the summer as well.

You look great for this being your third pregnancy.

Summer is always sooo much fun. We can't wait until Aaron is off from school this Friday. It's always fun to have him for the whole summer here with us.

You inspired me to work with Drew on Psalms 23. He is doing well. We haven't been too consistent with it everday since we are working on his verses for S.S. too. Alyssa is also joining in. She has verse 1 down:0)

I always enjoy reading your blog. Wish we could've gotten to know you guys better while at First Baptist. I always enjoy reading what you are learning and seeing how the Lord is working.

Enjoy your summer! We are praying for you guys as you get prepared for deputation.

A passage I thought of was Psalms 100, or the 10 commandments, the Beatitudes, books of the Bible. Just some ideas for you if you haven't come up with something already.

Take care!
