Miracle of Miracles

Welcome to the world Oliver Charles Gregory!

9lbs 21.5 inches

tons of hair!

I never expected to have an October baby, but then babies cant read calenders and God had other ideas :)

We prayed for a long time for a good birth and i couldnt have asked and still cant believe how well it went! The phrase keeps coming to my mind 'oh ye of little faith'. God went above and beyond what i asked for and granted me an amazing delivery. This was also my first time having a dula and she was awsome! i highly recomend getting one if you can! Chris was also amazing, and continues to be :) (love you deary!)

up to date

sorry i've been absent for so long! September proved to be a realy busy month! i'll try and catch you up on what we've been doing around here. This was taken on Gus's first day of school! he's in pre-k and absolutly loving it! He goes monday through thrusday 1/2 days. Gideon does pritty well with gus being gone, but is realy happy when he gets home and cant wate till he gets to go to school too.

This is me at 39 weeks, we all thought we'd have a september baby..little did we know haha :D

We picked a 5gal. bucket of grapes off our vine! I think grapes are the only food that brings out all the helpers!

Gideon was also in and out sneeking grapes to eat :) I dont remember exactly how much juice i ended up with, but i know it was more than enough for a few baches of jelly and some to drink. I love the was it makes the house smell!
I also canned 29 quarts of carrtos and made a bunch of spaghetti sauce from our tomatoes. the freezer also became stocked up with muffins, breads and cookies. I had to do something to keep busy and keep my mind off upcoming events ;)
The one thing we all were anticipating and expecting to happen in September never happend...in september! More on that in the next post!! :D
