UPDATES

For some odd reason I actually got inspired to write a post this morning!  I started a real, live scrapbook in the spring to document our lives.  Which leaves me not feeling like I really need to post a bunch of pictures/updates on the blog anymore.  We will see what happens.  There is a lot going on as you will see...

1.  I am 25ish weeks pregnant.  I am not totally sure.  Need to check my phone.  This pregnancy is so different from the first time.  This baby kicks and moves like crazy.  My desire to nest and have energy came to me much later this time.  And, I have done NOTHING in preparation for this sweet girl.  Anybody have a crib they want to sell?  Doesn't look like Quinn is going to giver hers up anytime soon.

2.  We bought a house!  This happened in August, but it has been a whirlwind every since.  Living in a house has been such a blessing and has really helped with my sanity.  I am so grateful.  We are loving our neighborhood.  I wasn't expecting to love being in a neighborhood as much as I do.  There are a lot of little kids and young families.  The families are super friendly and that gives me a lot of peace of mind. 

3.  Quinn is becoming such a big girl.  She is incredibly smart and picks up on things so quickly.  I could go on and on because she is so busy these days.  We had a blast on Halloween.  She was a black kitty...a very, very cute one.  She loved passing out candy and insisted on walking and carrying her own candy bucket throughout the neighborhood.  "Quinn, you want me to carry you?"--as we walk at a snail's pace--"No!"  She is Miss Independent.

4.   I decided to close/take a break from Lemon Bee Studio.  It practically closed itself as I have barely done anything but fill orders since being pregnant.  A part of me kept thinking I would snap back into it.  After praying about it, it became apparent that this is just the beginning of a new season.  Part of this new season means learning when to say "not now."  It's a hard discipline for me to learn but I am finding a lot of freedom in it.  I am excited for what the Lord will do as I open myself up to the new things He wants to do through me.  I just bought "The Best Yes" by Lysa TerKeurst.  A girl from my BSF class said she is really enjoying it.

Well there ya have it!  In a nut shell :)
