Third Trimester Here We Come!





Yeah! Praise God we are finally into the last trimester! This picture was taken at 28 weeks. I am doing well and feeling great most days. I think our little "Henry" is practicing already to be a star punter or a soccer player as much as he has been kicking. We are getting more and more excited for this little guy to join our family and settle into his room. I had my first baby shower (pictured above)a couple weekends ago with lots of State College friends and it was so much fun to open a package of newborn baby diapers and imagine his little bottom in it. I can't believe how small he will be. :-)

Griff continues to settle into his job at Voith Siemens. He works on the west side of York so it is about a 45 minute drive home, which can make for a long day, but we are adjusting. There is no class in college that can prepare you for 5am mornings and 45 minute commutes to work, and dealing with the daily challenges of the job. But truly praise God for his faithfulness! We know God has brought us to Lancaster for this season of life and we are tremendously thankful for the community around us, for the job he provided Griff and even the great doctor and hospital we have been able to get into. He is working out Ephesians 3:20 right in front of us...doing exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ask or imagine.

The other pictures are of the Penn State Barn Dance and Chili Cook-off that Griff and I got to go to a couple weekends ago. We had a great time with friends, and working the duck pond and the barn dance festivities.

And the other picture is from a recent wedding when all us old PSU staff and students got to have a little reunion before Jamie and Susan took off for California. Praise God for these great friends!
