our babies

Our second was home for a very brief visit last weekend to the delight of his brothers and sisters. College seems to be treating him well.  He did take me aside to break me the news that he got a tatoo.  He prefaced that by explaining the background – his fascination with ancient Rome growing up and the weighty meaning behind the quote. (it is a short quote) I believe it roughly translates into "Put Your Mother Into Labor"….   Boys. Another reason my hair is graying. ; )

Speaking of our babies.  It is nearly time for this one. Ready or not!  You would think 'ready' would come easier by this time. Some things are just daunting however.  Labor being one of them. Still, I am so ready to hold her.  Soon. DSC01360_2

  1. Oh wow! My 2nd oldest – a boy as well – just got his 2nd tattoo. It is a chi ro cross.
    Such a funny place to be in life; little ones and then these big ones standing at the very threshold of adulthood! I’m thankful and amazed at this life God has blessed me with.

  2. Awww…I had some serious labor jitters for #6…kind of embarrassing! It’s never easy, though. Praying for a blessed, peaceful birth for you. Cute pictures.

  4. Gray hair, kids will do that to you. I used to be a perfect parent, until I actually had to parent. It is daunting is it not?? Here’s praying for a safe delivery of the new baby girl!
