Yes, I'm still alive.....

I haven't felt much like blogging lately. I've been extremely tired (too tired to even type if you can believe that!) due to some pregnancy related glucose problems, but I am still here!

These past few weeks have been very hard, but my family has been so great to pitch in and help!

Seth, always ready to help with meals. (He makes great tea.)

Bubbie, content to play quietly at KK's desk.

Sis folding laundry

KK, keeping things picked up

The kids are caught up on their laundry, but Mom's been a little behind...of course the boys don't seem to mind.

I've received so many rude and disrespectful remarks about being pregnant with my fifth child. Everyone seems to think that all I do all day long is laundry and housework. Granted, I do plenty of those things, but there's so much more to my life that makes it very rich and full. Often times, the look on someone's face (disgust) says more than their words, but I hear things like, "Better you than me!" "You must be a glutton for punishment!" "Don't you know what causes that?" "I bet you stay busy!" I usually say something like, "Yes, I'm busy, but isn't everyone? I just like to keep busy with something that's worth my time." (That's the Christian translation of "Trust me, lady, if my kids acted like yours, I'd have had my tubes tied years ago!" As my friend, Leah-Joy has said, the Lord helps one control her tongue!)

I'm so thankful for my husband and children, as well as mine and Jason's parents, for all the help and support they've given me these past few weeks, and always.
