Kleenex please!

Today I had a few teary moments whether from sheer exhaustion, joy of Julia in her "girl pilgrim" hat and singing a blessing with her classmates before her Thanksgiving Feast, or frustration from my whiny children throwing tantrums left and right. Also we are closing on a townhouse which is becoming a large headache, but that is another story for another day. My day ended with an hour and half OB appointment for just a routine prenatal visit. (No problems with baby, but the doctor was running WAY behind.) I was running out of snacks and the sippy cups were empty. But as soon as I heard the baby's heartbeat, the stresses disappeared and the kids were quiet. The baby is healthy and measured 32 weeks instead of 31, but he or she is just trying to keep up with Julia & Cazin. Praise God for the miracle of life! A Veggie Tales DVD came to the rescue on the way home. As promised, here are a few photos from today. Cazin is going through this "I hate photos" phase so I'm afraid most of the photos will be of Julia for a while. He is just too quick and my camera is too slow!
