I realize I left you in suspense. I failed to show you the final product of our Batik outing. Here is Lydia's mater piece. I am amazed! If you would have seen her in action, you would have never thought such beautiful colors would result.
And here is my attempt at Batik. Elephants are a favorite for Lydia for Lydia right now.
Micah and Lydia have been working to build the tallest tower possible. This one was pretty impressive.
They even carried it into the kitchen area to show me while I was preparing dinner.
Hi Grandma!! Micah got a shot of us skyping my mom. I don't even remember him taking this picture. We must have been in deep conversation over her newly painted walls. :)
Lydia must have gotten bored with us. She is just like her daddy. Always pulling out a book when there is a moment of down time.
Saturday we put up Elli's bed. It has been really exciting talking about her arrival. We are trying our best to prepare Lydia. It reminds us of how we are awaiting the arrival of Christ. Elli is here in me now, but she is not here with us the way she will be very soon. We live in anticipation. Elli could come anytime now. And we live our days differently, making sure we are able to get to the hospital at the unexpected moment. Micah has been a huge encouragement. Reminding us often of what we are living for! We are like Lydia. Trying to grasp the reality that Christ is here with us, yet He is coming to reign and be with us in a way we have not yet experienced. We live our lives differently with this promise and assurance. I don't know if that makes sense. Micah said it much better. But the beauty of this analogy has a grip on us now as we eagerly wait for Elli to come!
