Fall into me........

I love Fall like I love my child!!!! It is the best time of the year-crisp air, leaves turning bright orange and red, the smell of bonfires, pumpkin patches, Halloween costumes, coats, and tights on little girls.

I know I am eons behind on blogging but wanted to get caught up and let everyone know what we have been up to. We took Grace to Eckert's Pumpkin Patch and she had a great time. We forced her to ride a little carnival ride and she was so stubborn that she wanted to enjoy it but wouldn't let herself it was so funny. We walked around and had a great time as a family.

We took her trick-or-treating for Halloween. She was a little 50's girls. I didn't really get a good picture of her because she was too busy wanting to get lots of candy and wanted to play with her cousins. My Mom always makes chili and a spread to go with it. It seems like I can't get enough of chili lately.

On a sad note, Jamie's sweet, sweet Grandma Starck passed away this month. She was so special to him and played such an important part in his life. She let him stay in her home and made a home for him multiple times. At her funeral, so many people said such wonderful things about her that I found it inspiring. Like a woman that anyone would be lucky to be anything like.

Love is.................

Love is knowing that you have a healthy baby growing inside you.........
Love is knowing that you have been given such a wonderful gift from God........
Love is knowing that you child is going to have the honor of being a big sister..............
Love is knowing that you get to see your husband become a father to another child.........
Love is knowing that you have been so blessed that you can hardly catch your breath..........

I don't know what I have done in this life to deserve such blessings but life is good, SO GOOD!!!! We are having another baby for those of you that don't know. We found out this week that it is a boy. We just continue to pray for the safety and health of this child.

I lay awake at night sometimes wondering what my plan is in life-what God has in store for me. I still don't know, but in the meantime will continue to just love what I have. I see so many other women that are good people that would give anything to be a mother and struggle with infertility and such and my heart breaks for them. I just feel so incredibly lucky that God has just gave me so much and feel so fortunate. I will continue to pray for those women out there that want to become mothers that God soon blesses them.

My husband is over the moon with excitement with the news that we are having a boy. He will make such a great dad to a boy. He is so wonderful with Gracie that I sometimes feel inadequate. He has exceeded any expectations that I had for him as a parent. I feel lucky to be his counterpart in life.
