You really are an inspiration! I have four boys and no 2 and no 3 are acts of God. I too would love more babes. You are blessed!

This nativity is going to be wonderful & yes, I had two 'acts of God' when they were your Emmet's age :) They have grown into sweet, busy, but wonderful boys & I would have more again in a heartbeat (if God would send them (sigh)). <br />Blessings<br />Renata:)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724790983466293293.post-44778570299647516522013-09-14T16:43:12.335-04:002013-09-14T16:43:12.335-04:00This is gorgeous!

Usually by now, I just have the stockings left to stuff, but this year I haven't even started. I think it's time to make some adjustments and see what realistically can happen.

This reminds me of the movie The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey. If you haven't seen the movie, I recommend it to you.

Most seem to want to decorate the nursery...me, I'd rather pull out power tools and do woodworking projects! I've been feeling awfully creative lately, that must be why! Plus we've never had a nursery to decorate, the babies all just slept with us!<br /><br />I really do feel like the perspective of experience is a blessing too! I remember when my oldest children where toddlers/preschoolers. We had just moved to the USA and I didn't really have anyone to talk to, and I was sure that those trying days and months were going to last forever!! They didn't of course, but I feel like I am so much more able to just roll with it now and enjoy these times even more, since I know that no matter how hard it seems at the moment, that's all it will be- a moment, before we're on to something new.Rachel~At the Butterfly Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139513803765913187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724790983466293293.post-33345737434541632782013-09-05T18:37:48.433-04:002013-09-05T18:37:48.433-04:00Thanks Kim!

It really does go so quickly. My husband and I always marvel when some challenging stage or another has been outgrown and we suddenly realize that, "Hey, when did such-and-such-an-issue stop being a headache?!"<br /><br />Just yesterday I pleaded with my husband to please, please, please get my woodshop set up (currently buried under renovation mayhem)so that I can get making Christmas gifts. So I hear ya! <br /><br />What an exciting November you have ahead!W-S Wanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06242784517253760863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3724790983466293293.post-62113414842817874652013-09-05T15:42:31.406-04:002013-09-05T15:42:31.406-04:00Wow, it looks awesome.
