Dinner conversation from last week.
Dad: “Well kids, we have some exciting news….”
12yo son: “Are we getting chocolate syrup in our milk tonight?”
Dad: “Actually, we are going to need a bigger vehicle….”
All kids (minus one): Confused silence….
6 yo son: “Are we having another baby?”
Dad: “Yep”
All kids (minus 12 yo son): confusion, but this time it is noisy.
8 yo son to 2 yo daughter: “You are going to be a big sister!”
2 yo daughter: “I AM A LITTLE SISTER!!!!” (she is taking it well)
12 yo son: still looking a bit confused…. “Does this mean we aren’t getting chocolate syrup in our milk?”
So if you have wondered why the menu plans have been nonexistent and the posting has been inconsistent I’ve been a little preoccupied lately. I am finally feeling better and am trying to pick up the pieces from the last several weeks.
I am thankful to finally be able to eat a meal and cook one too! I am thankful for my husband and daughter who cooked and cleaned over the last several weeks and kept things running for me. I am thankful for my Happy to be at Home partners who picked up for the slack for me on several occasions.
This newest addition has been affectionately nicknamed #7 by our bible study. I kind of like it, so I guess it is going to stick, at least until we think of a real name…

Congrats on your newest blessing! I pray that you will continue to feel well.

Congratulations! I always wanted a houseful of children, but I guess it wasn’t what the Lord wanted. I love the 2 that God gave me, but sometimes I still yearn for another child.

What a wonderful blessing! And #7 is kinda cute! Congrats!
Congratulations! We had a cute name for dd when I pregnant. I read a joke that said, “What do you call the offspring of a couch potato?” Answer: a tater tot. So we called her “Tater” until she was born.
Congratulations!

Congratulations on the new addition. I will be praying for you and the family. Blessings.
