Life has taken over and I can't believe how busy we can feel at times!
In between school activities, appointments, and work we are finding time to have fun.
One Sunday afternoon we helped Grandma Nel with some yard work. Everyone ended up coming to help so the kids had a great time with their cousins followed by pizza at night.
This was an unplanned get together but it was just what we all needed. Lots of laughter and family time.
Marie attended a big sister class at St. Luke's Hospital.
She learned how to put a diaper on, toured the labor & delivery unit and postpartum areas, and talked with other siblings about how they can help when the new baby arrives.
She had a great time and jumped right in on the diaper changing....good news for mom and dad!
At the end of the night they all put on their big sister/big brother backpacks and visited a newborn in the nursery.
As I am approaching week 29, I am noticing that my tummy is much bigger and chores around the house are taking their toll! Today as I was folding laundry and making beds, Marie noticed I was tired and offered to help. God knew what he was doing when he gave Marie to us first. She is such a big helper and I know I will be so thankful to have her around to keep the younger boys and dogs in line.
Bennett is following in his Dad's footsteps and can only talk about football and hunting this fall.
Dad picked up a few toy shotguns which Bennett and Marie love to play "hunting" with in the basement while they look for pheasants and turkeys.
He loves helping Dad train the dogs and he is always ready to put on his Husker gear for Saturday football games.
He is also taking up driving...he needs some work but doesn't he look cute?
This fall is flying by but we are having a ball so far!
