Baby belly pictures

As I laid in bed last night I was thinking of the beginning of December and of course of Christmas. Being pregnant and due to deliver a baby at this time of year gives one new perspective on the true Christmas story. I thought a bit about Mary. I know for sure that I would not have wanted to make that journey to Bethlehem on a donkey during the last few days of pregnancy. I get tired doing things that are much less strenuous than that. I'm wanting to look into the Scriptures and study Mary at this time. I'm so thankful for her willingness to be obedient even at the cost of personal discomfort. What a great vessel she was. I don't mean to idolize her but just identify with how she must have felt during that time. I'm so thankful for the gift of salvation that we have through Jesus.

Maybe our next post will bring news of the birth of our new little one. We hope that you're all well and resting in the peace that only comes through Christ.

We did belly pictures with our other kids, so we're trying to be consistent. Now they're done so the baby can come!:) Sweet brother and sister.

Mommy and Daddy.

Elianna loves to give the baby hugs and kisses.

We also got some good shots of the kids.

I'm so thankful they love each other so much.

They're great friends and play well together. Of course they have their moments.

They have lots of fun...
