Sabbath with Shillig Farm Parents



Jake's Mom loves to visit her children and see where they live and where they go to church.  She likes to know they are safe and picture where they are when she hears stories they tell and when she prays for them.  So I knew when they announced their visit that they would be coming for church.
 Grammie Lark showed Aimi Lark how the hymn book has references and you can learn more about each song with the footnotes and headers.
 I love that Solomon still has his chubby "baby" hands.  I know that it is short lived (like open mouth baby kisses) so I am trying to soak it up.
 My father-in-law is used to cooking on Sundays at the Farm.  He stepped right in (along with everyone else) to lighten my burden.  I have a hard time sometimes delegating and think that it is easier to do it all myself, but I am always grateful because like he said, "many hands make light work."
 Not to mention he got my stove PERFECTLY clean!
 We rounded out the afternoon with letters to Aunt Elliana in Brazil.  I am waiting on her verification of her mailing address before I send those down via snail mail.  I always love "real" mail!
There is something so renewing about a Sabbath day!

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

 We pulled off our best Halloween!  Possibly ever!  Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully.  He even had the cutest song he sang.  I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.  

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
