"Patience is a virtue" has been my modo for the last while. My due date is in two days, but I have been very ready for this baby to arrive! I am trying to be patient and enjoy this time growing a little one and feeling her kick and move. What a miracle it is and a huge blessing to be able to bring her into this world.
We have been trying to buy a house for months and finally, we just bought a house last week!!! YAy!! It has been a long process of looking and looking and we finally found one that will work after five months of looking and trying to get a house. It is a smaller 50's home, so there will be much work to be done, but we are excited to do that work and learn how to be handy haha...maybe. Shawn has been reading his "Do it Yourself" book, so I have full confidence in him :) We still have to get an inspection done etc, but hopefully by the end of March, we will move in. I am so grateful to my parents for letting us stay with them for so long. I have been blessed with a great family that is patient with us and helpful. I am excited to move all of our stuff in and get unpacked. When we moved all our stuff into my parents shop, I put all the baby boxes at the bottom of the piles of boxes and in the back, cause I thought for sure we would be in a house by the time baby arrived. Alas, it was fun watching Shawn digging through the piles of boxes, trying to find all those necessities that come with a baby.
I have been really trying to enjoy my last few days with just Kanyin. We have had three years with just her and so it is weird to think that there will be another little girl that I will love just as much as her. Kanyin knows it's coming and is very excited for baby sister to come. She always sings to her, plays peek a boo with my belly and gives my belly hugs. I know it is going to be an adjustment at the same time, but she will be a great little helper.
Here are some recent pictures of what we have been up to
 |
| We love taking walks at the near by park |
 |
| These two could throw rocks in the river and look for ducks all day! Whenever we go for walks, Kanyin wears her "hiking hat" |
 |
| Meysa got her ears pierced over Christmas break! She is going to look good with those earrings. |
 |
| It has been such a warm winter, but the few times it has snowed, Kanyin is out the door playing. |
 |
| Kanyin's new favorite thing, is a ham and cheese sandwich. If I let her she would eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. |
 |
| Kanyin is into getting dressed herself these days |
 |
| Picking up our bountiful baskets |
