not very bloggy.
my sister-in-law sent me an email with the words to a church song she felt i could appreciate.
I've been singing it to myself all week.
Come, come ye saints
no toil nor LABOR fear
But with joy, wend your way.
Though hard to you this journey may appear,
Grace shall be as your day.
Tis better far for us to strive
Our useless cares from us to drive;
Do this, and joy your hearts will swell
All is well! All is well!
Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?
’Tis not so, all is right.
Why should we think to earn a great reward,
If we now shun the fight?
Gird up your LOINS; fresh courage take;
Our God will never us forsake,
And soon we’ll have this tale to tell,
All is well! All is well!
Today, all is well.
We'll see what tomorrow brings!

watch the kid history videos on you tube. There is no way you wont smile and even giggle ( I had tears streaming from my eyes it was so funny!). Three episodes. You'll love them.
Good Luck!
you look great!
Mayan-ish carving is SCARY!!!
jen. i was serious about how gross that picture is. stop!
i like to call the mayan statue, "the stork"
i believe this is what it means to "gird up your loins." :) i thought of you, rachel, when i posted it.
sorry to be offensive... i just really love the idea of a women's body being a passage way to life.
jakob, drew, anna, ellie, leah, lily, and baby...Grace...the name just jumped out of that hymm
i love the name grace!!
Our lily is named Lily Grace, after my great aunt.
The problem with a large family is that we have already used many of the names we love as first or middle names. :)
We still aren't settled on our name-- first/middle. I LOVE suggestions!!
Love you, jen!
Even with the creepy alien image--it is kind of fascinating, though.
If you have to be full-pregnant, painfully ready to go, and the like, you might as well look good--and you do!!!
