Christmas Time is Here

We all seem to be ready and in good spirits at the Borders house. Well, mostly good anyway. Beth is in full pregnancy sickness lasting 23.5 hours a day. She is doing her best to smile and vomit quitely. God bless her.

She erased the picture of her that I thought was very good. She on the other hand believes she is fat and miserable and does not want anyone to see her.

Here we go again

For those of you who don't know God has decided to bless us already with one child. Madeline has done her best to challenge and strengthen us and give us just enough joy when we are ready to give up parenting. Well, we must be meeting expectations or need more training because last week the stick came up with 2 pink lines again. I guess God has made the decision to give us another try. This one is sure to be boy.
As Beth is taking the nausea like a champ, (well not really like a champ, but she is talking about it less this time) I am trying to go over all the expenses that the last one cost us. One day I will learn that not only are we better off than a lot of people, but God has never let the lights or the gas get turned off. Sometimes I forget.
I am determined that this child is going to make me grow up.

They did it! Jonathan and Sara are married and the wedding was great. The only problem is now Madeline has a boyfriend. Time to clean the shotgun.

We finally got a day to getr rid of the swamp in the back yard. It was a messy job, so Madeline wanted to help. Miss Madeline thought that playing in the mud was the best thing ever. Even Anna thought it would be fun to dig in the mud. The only one I could not find was Beth. I am sure she was there, cause she wouldn't miss getting dirty. Thanks to Gran and Papa for the help!
