And while it feels like these last 9 months have FLOWN by, the aches and pains of carrying a big baby in my belly seem eons away. In fact, I can hardly remember them. Dangerous ground, this is.
In other news...
- Two little white buds are breaking through Eli's pink and swollen lower gums.
- During this photo shoot, for the first time (except that once which doesn't really count), of his own accord and initiative, Eli rolled over! Woohoo! (Not that we were worried in the slightest.)
- Today marked the official first day of Michaelmas Term at Oxford and more than likely this is our last fall in Oxford. It's bittersweet for me. Bitter because it will be sad to leave this city we have learned to call home and all the dear friends we have made here. And although sweet may seem a strange way to talk about it (since we have ZERO idea where we will be next fall) the sweetness lies not in the fact that we know where we'll be but in that we know God is with us and leading us, wherever we may go.
We have a busy term ahead full of lots of good things and lots of hard work but I'm determined to enjoy it all. This is the day that the Lord has made. Let's rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
