Family Update

Hello to everyone, it has been a little while since my last blog entry.
My father made it safely to his destination in Katar. Praise the Lord for his safe travel. Please pray for me, I am now responsible for taking care of my dad's finances while he is away. Thankfully the Lord has equipped me well for finances and accounting. Patrick and the children get to take care of the animals. All ? amount of chickens, 2 cats, 1 dog, and 1 peacock. Those are just dad's animals, we only have 2 cats. So far, all has been well. Dad has only been gone since friday Jan 2. The children already miss their grandpa. Kelsie said it is boring around here with out him. I said, "gesh, I guess we're no fun huh." Then she said she just misses him. The things children say. Well, dad estimated departure is early May. Keep us in your prayers, especially my father.
I am now 25 weeks expecting and we found out we are having a girl. Estimated arrival date is April 23, 2009. I have already organized all of the girl clothes I have saved by size, washed the first years worth of clothes and put it all away. I wanted to take inventory of what we had, so we know what we will need. I have lent baby clothes out here and there, so our stock is a bit low. Which is okay. I am just thankful we can help where we can. Thankfully we will only need to purchase 2 big items, a swing and infant car seat. My friend has our old swing which has been through a total of 6 different children and is very ready for retirement. It served its purpose. The small items, will be onesies and socks. Patrick and I have the same philosophy with infants. They don't need shoes till they can walk, and they can go anywhere in their pajamas. It saves a bundle on money spent for outfits and shoes.
Patrick and I are excited about the new baby girl soon to born. As my tummy expands (which is the hardest part for me) and we can feel lots of movement. I am carrying so low, I am not ready to share the kicks with anyone but my hubby for now. I may be six months expecting, and I have not ever carried a child so low before. We will be making sure it is normal from the doctor our next visit. Even if it is not normal, we know God is in control and He is the one that is granting us this wonderful gift of a blessing.
Not much else is new with the Seymoure/Sucharski family. Just our usual caring for and training our children, and living one day at a time.
And most of all, Praising and thanking our great Lord for all he does!
