Classic Lydia (baby in her arms/lap)

Two years ago Lydia was about 10 hours old!  Hard to believe…time has definitely flown by.  We celebrated her 2nd  birthday in this way:  yesterday we purchased her a Step2 LifeStyle PartyTime Kitchen and we assembled it last night.  This morning she played with her kitchen, we sang Happy Birthday to her and then she went for a stroll with Daddy.  After their return, we headed to ChuckECheese’s and she played for about two hours.  We returned home (expecting her to nap) but ended up just resting awhile.  This evening we went to McDonald’s, where Lydia enjoyed fries and a Ronald McDonald cake.  Now it’s bathtime and shortly thereafter, bedtime! 

I haven’t written in ages, mostly because we’ve been in SC for the longest time and access to the Internet is a little more complicated.

We are anticipating going to a church in Union, SC (Tabernacle Baptist Church).  Frankie has a trial sermon scheduled there on Nov 23 and we are prayerful that God’s will be done and that we will be sensitive and accepting of His will.  Pray for us in this, as there is much to do.

In other news, I am pregnant again.

Yes, pregnant.

I do not even know what to say about this.  We buried Sarah Elizabeth in August and I got pregnant in September.  We hoped for another pregnancy and a healthy child, but I anticipated getting pregnant sometime in ‘09.  Obviously, God has other ideas. 
I love the idea of having another baby, but I’m a bit too nervous to really be excited now.  It’s very early on, so I’m reserving the excitement for when the chance for miscarriage declines some.  I probably won’t really be excited and thrilled until I hold a healthy baby!
