Yesterday was Isaac's 4th Birthday. He woke up to a dining room full of blue balloons- 39 to be exact:) And asked for birthday presents until he left for school- those came later in the day.
After a very trying morning with Sam, I managed to get myself and him into Isaac's classroom to eat lunch and celebrate Isaac. I wish I had grabbed a picture of Isaac with his brother and classmates as they sang to him and he too quickly blew out his birthday candle. A blue crayon candle.
We celebrated with dinner of hot dogs, peas and mac and cheese- and KETCHUP because that is certainly Isaac's own food group. He received a construction costume and Octonaut Puzzle.
Today I had my weekly women's prayer bible study at church. Sam and I left with just enough time to make it there a few minutes early in hopes of getting coffee brewed and not starting too late. Much to my surprise, my co- leader Sally (who has never been early, let alone on time...) met me in the hall way looking for cream. As was another member who has always come late. Huh I thought. But got Sam down the hall only to see EVERYONE in the group ALREADY THERE. With decorations. And a table of food. And later PRESENTS. My love language. A baby sprinkle for our 4th baby, our son. Just last week someone asked if we had a shower, and I said of course not- its our 4th we don't need anything. Maybe diapers or meals after he is born would be great. This was such a surprise blessing to me. They all prayed for me and this baby too- for health and safety in delivery. For a name. For Nate to bond with the baby and help me without me asking. For me to ask for help when I need. I am in shock. We only started this study in the fall. I have only known most of these women since the fall- some shorter! (three a bit longer). I am blessed. and thankful. God is our provider and we are not in need. Amazing.
Ok and I found two pictures...
