Everything seems to be back to a somewhat normal pace at the house. I am now packing Chris's lunches, ironing his work clothes, and preparing supper in the evenings again. Most people would get tired of that, but I missed Chris so much and I love him so much that I will do anything to help him. I really enjoy doing things for him because I love him so much.
The kids seem to be very happy that Chris is home again. He gets attacked when he comes through the front door after work. Evan runs around the house screaming Daddy and Alana runs outside to meet him the car so she can ride a few feet up the drivway with him. It is very cute.
Our third, Owen, is due ay time. The actual due date isn't until October 28, but I started having contractions yesterday and they have nw put me on medication to stop them so I won't have him yet. They want me to wait until I am at least 37 weeks, which will be October 7. That is when the lungs are considered mature enough for the baby to be born. Of course, I am already 2 cm and so I am not sure how long labor can be held off.
Tomorrow is the baby shower and I am so excited. We really don't need much since he is the third. I am excited because I love to get together and have fun with my family and friends and also play the fun baby shower games. And of course the most important part is the cake and punch. :) My favorites!
I am so excited and ready to have Owen. I know I am probably about to drive Chris crazy, but I am exhausted and ready to have this baby. I just feel so weak and tired, which isn't me at all. I am trying to stay strong, but I know he is so tired of hearing me whine. He is such a trooper for putting up with it! I know he gets it from everyone since he is becoming a chaplain and all. I am trying my best to get better at it, especially for his sake. I need to be the one to help keep him strong.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Thank you all for the many prayers. Love you all!

Pure Heaven
We returned home to Alabama on August 30th. I haven't even wanted to write in my blog because Chris has been home and it has been wonderful. The kids and me are sticking to him like glue, especially little Evan.
It has been so strange to get back into the routine of things. I have been so used to doing everything by myself and it is so great to have his help around the house. Just seeing his face here is enough, but his helping hand is so wonderful. I have been so relaxed that I have found myself taking naps during the day, which is VERY rare for me. He has been off work all week and will return on Tuesday. He isn't really looking forward to it because he is so used to the Army lifestyle. It is quite an adjustment for him to make.
I want to thank everyone for everything you have done for our family. There are too many people to list and too much they have doe to thank, but you know who you are and without you all, we couldn't have done it. Thank you all for your many prayers. Chris is home and doing well.
Now we look forward to our next adventure. Owen is expected to be born sometime in October. We had an ultrasound last week and everything looks great. At one point it was thought I may have to have a c-section but we now know that is not the case, thank God! I go back Wednesday because they noticed I am already dilated 1cm. Now they will keep watch over me.
On a different note, I was baptized today. Actually, Chris helped baptize me and it was the first baptism he has ever helped perform. Now he can say the first person e ever baptized was his wife. Cool huh? And we were pregnant with our third child. What a story for our children and grandchildren.
Thank you all, please continue to pray for this family. We always need it.
