Measure Twice, Cut Once

GOD has blessed us by giving our family a beautiful little baby girl, she is my third daughter and I pray the Lord will continue to bless our family with many, many more children. She was born at grandma’s house with all of her loving family attending, however her two older sisters did miss her coming into the world by a couple of minutes as they had gone off to the park to play. They were getting tired of waiting for their mom to bring their baby sister into the world. But all went well and we are already planning for the next one if the Lord will bless us again. Our new baby was born Monday morning just before lunch and was a big girl at 10 lbs, her name is Sarah and she is much loved by her two older sisters. We are now working out the new sleeping arrangements, as the two older girls now have to make room for baby Sarah in our family bed. There has been a bit of sadness here, as the older one now has to move over to the boy’s side of the bed with papa.

In time all will be well again as we all have to change our ways to make room for the baby. We will hopefully be heading back home in a couple of days as we don’t minding staying at my wife’s grandparents, for they are truly the grandparents everyone wishes they had for their own. But it will be nice to get everyone home and settled in again, as there are many things to do at home, we will soon have to start cutting hay. The small garden we planted this spring will be in need of weeding and the potatoes are in need of being hilled, no end to all the wonderful things it takes to keeping a small homestead going.
