Five on a rainy weekend

1) We hosted a fabulous party last night, if we do say so ourselves. Nothing says fun like summer weather, sangria (for those of age and not pregnant), and friends. And our Bible Study group can cook!

2). Mali accompanied me to my most recent midwife appointment. She took along her new doctor's kit and was extremely proud to help check my blood pressure and measure my stomach. When we entered the office, I introduced myself to the receptionist and said I was there for the midwife. Mali then adds, "I'm Mali and I'm here for my mommy".

3) Instead of their usual Wiggles or Elmo video after naptime today, the girls (unprompted) watched 20 minutes of the Penguins/Flyers game. Daddy was so proud.

4) Grand Rapids has a cool new opportunity for artists--check it out here. Help me convince our friend, Kellie, to enter!

5) Our big announcement...Jonathan will be starting a new job on Monday! We have been waiting and praying for this for months now and are finally ready to exhale. Thank you to all of you who have been supporting us in so many ways through all of these transitions. More job details to follow!
