Answer

The answer to what my wonderful mamma, our cute cow, and our lovely aunt all have in common is............

THEY'RE ALL PREGNANT!

That's right; baby number 10 is in the making!  We can't wait for the new little one to join our family in early April of next year!  Mamma is around 8 weeks now and is bravely overcoming her morning sickness (which is really all day sickness) with a smile on her face.  She is one tough woman!  What a challenge to all of us to see her accept each new blessing (despite what happens to her) as a gift!  Hopefully that part of the pregnancy will be over in about 6 weeks so she can enjoy the fun part. :)

Oh and just for the record our cow is due in October and my aunt is due on Thanksgiving day! :)
 
For one excited family,
Hannah

"For You formed my inward parts; 

You covered me in my mother’s womb. 

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."

Psalm 139:13-15 

Kimber's License!

On August 8^th Kimber Ashley Wassenberg passed her behind-the-wheel test!  She now has a license!!!!!  She’s grow’n up on us. :'(  Anyway, enough of the tears- we’re excited for her! :)  She is very happy to be able to drive to her job down the road now, as well as go to photography sessions without worrying about how to get to and from them! :)  Well, enough talk.  Here are some pictures from her big day!

 

 Dowy was working on cabinets that day so he wished her well before she took off.  

 Lydia also was there to wave good-bye! :)

 We’re there!!!!!!!! 

 Getting ready to get out of the car and take the test!

 Daddy filling out his sheet (he had to renew his license).

 Kimber filling out her sheet (to get her license).

Kimber got her picture taken to put on her license if she passed. 

She was trying not to laugh at daddy in this picture. :)

Daddy eventually went away because he kept making her laugh! :-D

 Off she goes!!

They’re back...

 and happy….that’s a good sign. :)

 This is the man Kimber took the test with- he is filling out some sort of paper-work in this picture.

 When her number was shown on the screen, she went up to see her results.

 YAY!!! SHE PASSED!!!! :-D

 To celebrate we stopped by a Sheetz gas-station on the way home and Kimber picked out some... 

.....doughnuts to share!! Don't those look mouth-wateringly delicious!!!????  

Thanks for reading!

The next post about driving (which will happen next year ;) is going to be about me getting my learners permit!! :)  Scary, I know.  :)  Just thought I’d share that exciting piece of news with you folks. :) 

I  know we’ve been slacking recently on the posts and all, but I’m trying to make up for it. :) 

 Oh, and one more thing before I end this post: the last week of August is our annual beach vacation with mom’s side of the family.  This year everyone is coming…I can’t wait!! Please pray that we’ll have great weather and servants hearts the whole trip- it would be greatly appreciated! :)  

Have a blessed day!

 

Joyfully His,

Alexis

Ps- You might want to stay off all roads and sidewalks…KIMBER HAS HER LICENSE!!!  8-O  Just kidding. ;)
