a good day

Yesterday was a good day! M had her baby! I was so anxious for her, hoping and praying that that she wouldn't have to be induced and that he would be born safely. Well, glory to God! 10 days late, but she went into labour herself the night before she was to be induced. God really loves us and often shows that love in little ways that require trust. I am so happy for her! And J is so beautiful!!

I had confession yesterday as well, which was a relief as always. I am so thankful for Father S, who helps me to put things into perspective, and often provides a different perspective than mine. His love for God is evident each time I see him, in his words and demeanor.

M had soccer camp last night and is doing really well. JJ is a great coach, who really knows his stuff. I am hoping that there will be lots more opportunities for M to learn from him. P is anxious to play soccer, and keeps asking me when the fall is, as I said he could play in the fall!

Looks like A's parents are staying for the full six months. I am tired of them being here, although there is little to complain about beyond the dynamic. Z really helps out with cooking and cleaning, as well as looking after D anytime it is needed. P has been helping with work around the house and yard, and we have got so much done. There is lots more to do, but it is exciting to be able to have time to do it, and to think about what colours we might want for paint, what flooring we might decide on, etc.

School is back in next week! I can't believe how fast the summer went by! I hope L will be ready for Pre-K. She is excited about it, but we will see how the reality goes! P and M are excited to go back and see all their friends.
