busy, waiting
in the last weeks before baby girl arrives, I've found that I'm busier than perhaps I should be. there's church music, more church music, helping a friend with a website he's building, Bible study, work, looking after Caleb, watching baseball playoffs, spending time with friends, making Christmas presents, keeping the kitchen clean, and getting various stuff ready for baby girl. not to mention helping Mama with some around-the-house stuff she doesnt have the energy for these days.
these are worthy endeavors, but stacked together it's made things a little crazy. mama is ready to be done being pregnant (until at least 2008 or so), Caleb is getting fussier these days, and even the dog is getting clingy (can they tell the new baby will be here soon?). hopefully soon I'll be done with a couple of the things on the list. one of the most important things to suffer amidst the the craziness is time with Michelle, so we're feeling distant on top of it all.
so I've decided to make a list or two of stuff to take care of and not add anything to it if at all possible. less bloggy stuff, and less TV sports too. more Bible, more sleep, more beer. I know things will get crazy when the baby arrives, so it would be nice to have a few weeks of calm.
so things may get quiet in this space for the next month or so, besides perhaps the latest cuteness from Caleb. we're counting down the days until baby girl's arrival. please pray for Michelle especially, and for all of us as life will change very soon.

Slow down - take a breath . . . and you always know that Grandma and Grandpa can come to clean, cook, change diapers, take Caleb out of the house or just babysit for him so you can get out anytime you want : )
Praying for you guys and very excited about the new arrival - hope to see you over Christmas break (the three of us will be in Chattanooga the entire time).
It's funny, when you put that comment on my blog about some of Jack's pictures looking like Caleb's I had said the same thing to Erik just the day before. It's fun to think they might be able to play together once Jack catches up!
Dude, you think it's going to get quieter after the baby comes....lol. You must be a lot better than I at managing things. I almost cracked. Just posted something about it. It was quite a ride for me. In all seriousness, though, may the Lord bring this little one into the world safely and QUICKLY.
