Giving time of the year

We are at that time of year where giving to those in need is very important. In this country we are very privaleged with everything we have. Matt and I give through different activities that we do with our small group. Last year we chose a gift to purchace off the giving tree at church. Our small group chips in money to purchace these gifts for a needy child/family. There are so many different serving oppportunities this time of year. Please remember all the people in need not only this holiday season but throughout the whole year.

One more week!

Well we are due in one week. I am hoping that Ellie decides to either come early or on time. I really do not want to go to long after my due date.I am having spurts where certain things need put away and cleaned and Matt is handeling that very well since a lot of it is lifting which he has to do.
We had Calli's appointment yesterday and she is allowed to walk 10-20 minutes a day then we can up that every few days. This was very exciting because she loves her walks. Although, being in a kennel for two months has led her to be very out of shape. We took her for a walk yesterday and her breathing sounded horrible so we had to turn around and head back home. We will try another small walk today. She was also wore out and went to bed very early. It was cute!
Our family is very excited about Ellie coming and every time someone misses a call from me they panic when calling back thinking I am in labor and they missed my call. It's funny how our parents are calling to check on me before they go anywhere an hour or more just to make sure I won't be in labor and need to get back. Matt and I just laugh.
Matt and I are very excited about the holiday season. We are spending Thanksgiving at home since Ellie will only be about a week or so old. Everyone wants us everywhere but we have decided to just say home this year. Christmas will be hetic as usual although we are going to be slowing down a little compared to previous years. We want to be home on Christmas morning and start that tradition with our little girl. Well we will post sometime soon with details about our little girl and some pictures=)
