It is well with my soul...






Perfection lies in what the soul desires...DL You can quote it, from me...He, he!

Sometimes my soul needs to be in worship, sometimes it desires to be surrounded by friends, family, strangers or in the still quiet of nothing. Tonight all my soul needed was some quality family time. Funny the things we take for granted when we have them. Sometimes it takes their absence to realize how important they are.

Perfection was found in the quiet stillness of the dark night, which soon abound with laughter, stories and jokes, roasted marshmallow's and sticky kisses! It's hard to explain the peace I felt in the rejoicing my heart was doing. Nothing much better than a good night at home with the 5 people I love most. The bliss spilled over into the next morning...I woke to show how appreciative I was of the family I love so much...country ham biscuits and fresh pot of coffee on a Sunday morning before church... Simple pleasures confirmed as a small Lynch tippy toed in to tell me good morning. The 2nd thing out of Micah's mouth was, "mommy tomorrow night was the best night, cause we roasted marshmallow's." Yes dear, last night you mean, was a great night because we roasted marshmallow's. Simple and sweet memories!

Belly talks...

Oh little boy, son of hope and joy, you are so loved before you are born. I can't imagine the flooding of our hearts on the day you are born...


The girls are so into my growing belly. Micah just keeps saying mommy's belly is big, really, really big...I can't help but laugh. I'm 23 weeks tomorrow and at my last visit, 20 weeks, I had only gained 5 lbs. Let me add; of all belly. It feels like so much more...I know the baby is real, and connect with him on all types of levels, but I thought that was because I was carrying him. I have a real connection. The girls talk to him and love him like they can see him and since him already being here. It's quite amazing and like nothing I've ever heard or experienced before. I can't express how much joy it brings me! :)


So during Maci's daily talk with Merrek the other day. She tells him about her two front teeth missing, then goes on to tell him that it probably won't matter much to him, because she should be getting two permeate teeth by Christmas and he'll be born after that. LOL She's already been singing, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth." It's like they don't want to leave him out or let him miss a thing. So sweet!!! And Marley the love bug of few words, just wants to hug and kiss all over my belly. I just love how they talk and think of him so much and always call him by name. Micah loves to sing and play him songs from her singing build a bear. This past week Maci couldn't wait to read to him because he can finally hear. I don't think that calling Merrek SPOILED will do him any justice. He will be BLESSED...more than we can imagine! And all of us more blessed before he is even born...
