Sunny Day..

A brillant, sunny day is a God-send during the long ,cold month of January. We have had 2 of these in a row! Iowa is notorious for its gloomy, grey skies all winter and I am always so thrilled to see the sun!!!

We have been housebound, not wanting to venture out too much in the cold, working on school and household projects. Sometimes we do go "stir-crazy" and a trip into the city always alleviates the need to be out.

My pregnancy is going well. We heard the hb again at the last appt and will get an ultrasound on February 9th. We are hoping to find out what we are having.... I am thinking boy!

The girls and I are reading through the Bible together and just finished Deuteronomy. Jesse received the Word of Promise Audio Bible for Christmas and has been enjoying listening to it on the way to and from work. He has a 35 mile commute, one way. We have been able to listen to it at home a bit and have enjoyed the different actors, music and special sounds. It really brings the Bible to life.

Jesse has started a new position at work and doesn't have to work out in the elements, anymore. That has been a blessing. He is still working a swing-shift, so same basic schedule, just a different shift.

That is a small update for now!
