Roommates!

 Tonight is the first night Lulu and Levi will be sharing a room.  We decide to move them in together and we will keep the other room a nursery.  We got new beds for them and they both are really excited about it.  Today they napped together and did great.  So this will be the first night and this will be Levi's first night not in a crib.  Big boy....boo hoo.  We are going to decorate half pink and girlie and half blue and very much boy.  I think I might sew curtains pink on one side and blue on the other.   

 

 Here is Lulu in her old bed in the same room.

Here is Levi in the crib in his old room.  

32 Weeks 5 Days

Feeling great!  I'm getting excited to meet Ila.  We all are.  She is still moving a lot.  I'm sleeping so/so.  I have more energy then I did a few weeks ago but that sort of comes and goes.  People keep telling me I must be ready to pop, then I tell them my due date and their eyes sort of bug out with this shocked faced.  My due date is May 18th and I'm guessing it will be later May.  My mom is guessing May 25th.  That sounds like a good day to have a baby.  Any guesses?  I was 10 days late with Lulu, 9 days late with Levi.  Maybe 8 days late with Ila???? 

Cleaning the Yard

 The other day we were getting the backyard ready for SPRING!  We have had some very windy days around here and our yard got littered with branches from a wind storm recently.  So I had Lulu and Levi help and pick up all the branches.  They did a great job and worked really hard. 

 

 Even the neighbor girl wanted to help so she tossed a branch over from her yard into ours. 

Here's the yard afterwards.  I think they did a great job!  

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Be Thou My Vision

Ancient Irish Hymn translated by Mary E. Byrne

 

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.

Thou my best thought, by day or by night,

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

 

Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;

Thou my great Father, I thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

 

Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight,

Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.

Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower.

Raise Thou me heavenward, O power of my power.

 

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,

Thou mine inheritance, now and always:

Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,

High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

 

High King of heaven, my victory won,

May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my vision, O ruler of all.
