I'm a few inches closer to school rhythm again, so i guess you could say the semester's second wind is here. I miss the girls for sure, and my love for them grows daily with the 1000 miles between us. It's funny how I notice that increasingly while they are away...it's probably that the realization is hightened in solitude and absence. ?
Amber felt the baby move yesterday! Still only mama can feel it at this stage (we're into the 2nd trimester now), but soon we'll be able to feel and even see the kicking and squirming from the outside. I loved hearing the joy in her voice as she brought me the good news over the phone. There's something about truly good news and the heralds that bring it that causes unmatched anticipation and joy; I have this in mind with the season of Advent nearing. Listen to Mark: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God..." How can I (we) ever prepare for a new baby? A new Kingdom?
Here's to new beginnings and the Word that brings them to life...
off to class...

I think I dreamt you were having a baby . . . but then I think you told me. Either way, congratulations!
yeah for squirming!!!!
baby stuff. yeah, I don't think me and mere have ever been around a friend with all this going on. And I don't think that I have seen your girls since before thanksgiving.
But I understand this desire for some sort of rhythm. It has been the thing that has stuck out the most with me since I have been here.
Have a good weekend buddy and thanks for the Kentucky Crack.
Thanks for the link! I am still pretty new to the blogging world, but Chad is helping me find my way around. We had fun with you, Dru, and Adam at Zaxby's and we look forward to dinner at the Caldwell's tommorow night. We can't wait until Amberly, Morgan, and the little Strebeck to be are back in Wilmore!
