Yesterday we had our baby shower here in Washington and decided to add a little West Coast flare. Particularly, a lesson in tie dying:
The lovely shower hosts, Kyrsten and Michelle, planned a really great time with a legitimate chemistry lesson worked in. There will be photos of tie dyed baby clothing in the near future so stay tuned! Mom and Dad made matching baby outfits:
And a little practice :)
In other news, we've begun our weekly appointments with the midwives. One of the recent developments was that somewhere along the line we had lost track of our due date. Thus, a correction to our last post: the correct due date is actually October 5th! Not a big change, but might as well set the record straight. All positive reports so far as baby does the last bit of growing before coming to meet all of us!
The Fall seems to be arriving here in Washington and personally, I'm pretty excited. I've been lighting candles, bundling up, and enjoying the brisk air. I anticipate this to be a very cuddly season. There are a few drops of rain on the window as I type this and, contrary to my past reactions, I find myself welcoming this transition.
This week will also be the start of our first community group at our place. Our church, Mars Hill (not the one in Michigan, but the one in Seattle), has a number of "community groups" that meet in various homes and neighborhoods throughout the city. The goal is for the members of a group to really do life together - share struggles, joys, needs, gifts, food... We have gone through the process to lead a group in our home and are excited to actually jump in this week. We will meet weekly for a couple of hours and share a meal, our lives, our prayers, and discuss the week's sermon. We are looking forward to it!
That's it for now! Feel free to comment, email, or call and fill us in on you too!
