We Are Ready

Here is a cute photo of the kids all ready for church.
We are also busily preparing for the arrival of little Grace. Her due date is the 11 of December and there is to be a full moon that weekend (a full moon can only help, right?).
She had us guessing last night as I was having some contractions. I was scheduled to sub for the first and second grade Sunday School teachers and Patrick was filling the pulpit for a minister who was away. We both were wondering if we would have to find subs for the subs! I am wondering if Grace is going to be just as ornery as her brother and sisters!
As you can see from the picture we are also ready for St. Nicholas Day (Dec. 6th) and for Christmas. It hit me the day after Thanksgiving that my due date was only a week and a half away and that if the Christmas decorations were going to go up I had better get busy! The kids were a great help decorating the Christmas tree. They loved finding "their" ornaments and putting them on the tree. Some areas of the tree are heavy with ornaments and the strings of beads are wrapped around the tree in all sorts of directions but the kids are happy with their decorating job and that is all that matters.
