Blessings Abundant

The Lord has provided for our family through Pauls faithful work from the beginning. I have such a hard work'n man and am so proud to be his wife! We laugh how every time we find ourselves pregnant, Paul gets a raise. Every time. Remember that song Count Your Blessings?Well here are a few of our blessings just this week...

1. Last night Paul came home with some news that isn't good, but isn't bad at the same time. He was offered overtime for the next 8 weeks, which could be enough to pay for the midwife for the new baby. Very cool, though we will miss daddy temporarily on the weekends.
2. Found a brand new pair of Avia tennis shoes for Jacob for $4.99 at the thrift store.
3. Mom just called and happily announced she found my 4.5 quart baking dish I have been hunting for for months at a garage sale!
4. I went shopping yesterday for Fall clothes(warm ones) for Daniel, after much looking I came home empty handed. An hour passed and Mrs. Sunshine(my tomato sandwich neighbor) was standing there with a heaping grocery bag of clothes of which complete a Fall wardrobe in Daniels size.
5. Went to the Green Barn for this weeks produce stock and they had a strawberry closeout and I was one of the first to arrive. Which means I picked all the beautiful looking berries and came home with 14lbs for $14. Less than U-pick. We quickly coordinated an assembly line, right down to the three year old and the berries were processed and frozen on cookie sheets in no time for winter smoothies!
6. Oh, and my wonderful niece Emily is going to watch the children tonight while Paul and I go on a date...alone.
7. Many more forgotton by me.
