Well, this has been my story.  When life seems to calm down - WHAM! - something happens!

     Finally, no diapers and then I get pregnant at 40 years old.  I'll be 41 when this next boy is born and he's due two days after Christmas!   Rebekah was born the day after Christmas.  I guess it's another busy Christmas season for us!  Of course, there is homeschooling in my LAST TRIMESTER, and I've been tired almost every day.  I'm good for about 3 hours in the morning, and then I need a good nap.   

     And yes, our home is for sale.  Though this is the worst time to try to sell our home, if the Lord wants to sell it, I'm sure it will.  Then we will have so many homes to choose from!  We trust the Lord is saving or preparing the home he wants us to have at His time.  Actually, we are not in a rush to sell and 'get out of here.'  We love our home but we just know in the future we will be in need of another bedroom and Michael could sure use an office of his own since he has been working from home since January.  We just need more space since we will be a 7 person family that is home together - working, schooling, playing - almost 24/7.  The home is getting a bit small, but we are OK for now, so not in a rush.  If it doesn't sell by the beginning of December, we won't be trying again until after the baby is born and into the early Spring.  The Lord knows the details and our future and it is in His hands who holds our future!

     Michael is still going through school online, the boys are still in Scouts, and we are soon starting performing arts & music school.  Life is SUPER busy, but it's all OK.

     Jesus is whom I holding on to.  His power and His promise that He will work things out according to His glory and his good pleasure.  Tha's my stronghold at times of stress and fatigue.

     On a different note, just last weekend we went to the Henry Ford Musum and had a wonderful time.  That is such a wonderul place to go and so educational.  There are so many pieces of history there, it is so worth the trip!  Highlights include JFK's car he was killed in and other presidental cars, The Weinermobil, The first ford car, Wright Brothers Shop & home, Thomas Edison's lab, and so much more!  What a place!  I will be posting picture on flickr soon on these.

     Tomorrow, we will be painting the basement white to cheer and lighten it up.  Right now it is a light cream color, but it always feels dingy down stairs to me.  Michael has put a new floor in our upstairs bathroom, and we are slowly doing more work on the home to help improve our chances of people wanting to buy it.  But if it doesn't happen right away, we will then be able to enjoy our improvements for a while.  There is no problem with that!
