Well first things first, we have had a new addition to our family. Our youngest member, Ellia Hope was born at the end of November! It was a very up and down emotional pregnancy for me, but thankfully I had a very understanding doctor and he agreed to induce me before 39 weeks (as Kalyna passed away at 39 weeks). So at about 38 and a half weeks, I was induced and after only 6 hours of induction, our little 7 pound 9 ounce baby girl was born healthy. I can't even explain the happiness that I felt in that moment. Our prayers, yearning and desires were fulfilled with the birth of this little girl. She has brought so much joy to everyone in our family. She really is the sweetest joy.
Since then, it has been a whirlwind of everything.
Micah has now turned 6...eek! And is in grade 1. He is so excited to be in grade 1 where the real work starts. He loves math.....yep you read that right! Loves math!! (definitely takes after his dad with that one...I detest math...)
A will be turning 5 soon. She is growing and is in SK. Same class as last year, so I hope that will help her be able to learn sooner, instead of having a long adjustment period. She loves gymnastics and riding bikes.
Ellia is home with me and back and forth to church for my job as well. She is 9 months old, and I think (hopefully) on the verge of crawling and acquiring teeth....sleep is not plentiful these days and hopefully once we see some teeth, sleep will come back too! (I hope!)
Anyways I have to keep this short today as there are many household chores beckoning me to start...finish....so I best keep going, but I wanted to update and hopefully keep up with my writing again!
Here's a favourite verse I read the other day....I've been stuck on it for a bit now:
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth
so that you have sincere love for each other,
love one another deeply, from the heart.
1 Peter 1:22
