Number Three is on the Way

Oh my, so much has happened. The biggest news is we are having a third child! I have been very excited all along which has been great. Unlike the first two when I was in shock for the first week almost and then excited. But I have been rather sick. So much so that Josh has taken over in the evenings. I am feeling much better, so hopefully the nausea is subsiding. Josh has almost finished the semester. He has a Greek Paper to turn in next week and then we will be doing some celebrating for completing 15 hours this semester. We also made an unexpected trip to Arkansas to see his grandpa last weekend. His grandfather had a heart attack and so they encouraged the family to come as soon as possible. The Rices graciously offered their home for a night's stay which was such a blessing since we got into Little Rock at 2:30 in the morning. But we stayed the rest of our time in Pine Bluff where his grandpa is in the hospital. It was quick, but we were glad we went and so thankful that he is doing much better. (Family Pick above is from that trip) I also included one that is about a month old of Jack riding in this car that he loves at a friend's house. It is kinda an issue because he monopolizes it even though it isn't his!

Isabel has decided to act like a toddler although she is only 15 months, so my hands have been tied with putting her in time-out. We started out slapping her hand but she consistently starting hitting back so we went to plan B! So any and all prayers are appreciated for all the drama that takes place in our house. Just as I did with Jack, I am realizing to take each day and each moment as it comes and not expect life to be a certain way. It seems I never quite learn this lesson.

I finished my hospitality class. Our final assignment was to plan and organize the spring event for seminary wives graduating from the program. I was on the food committee which was lots of work but really fun and a great learning experience. We planned the menu which turned out great including a chocolate fountain. We each made numerous dishes for 200 people! I made over 6 gallons of punch which turned out fine but was almost a catastrophe. You are supposed to make it, freeze it, and then take it out of the freezer an hour before serving for it to be slushy and add ginger ale. Well, I did this but for some reason it was still a bit frozen. Anyway, halfway through the event I was standing at the punch bowl scraping off chunks because we ran out of ginger ale. The punch was a hit but just not melting fast enough. It all worked out in the end but rather stressful in the moment.

So, we don't have any summer plans yet but will make some soon. Travel now before I get huge!
