At Home

Life as three has now been replaced with life as four. Korrie had another wonderful pregnancy and another phenomenal birth experience. We got to the hospital around 9am on Oct. 23 and Zeke was born at 12:55. Korrie once again did it all without even a hep-loc. We are both very thankful for a healthy boy and a natural birth experience.

The Lord is pushing us in new ways as we discover ourselves through our kids. The way memories flood my mind as i see Jesse play and try to talk and describe her world, her thoughts, her needs and wants is overwhelming. Looking at Zeke and seeing my childhood again, i stare in wonder as i reflect on the roads i've taken, the obstacles i've encountered, who i've been, who i've become, and what the future holds for us. The things i once thought i wanted have slowly and suddenly changed into what i find myself day-dreaming of today. Wanderlust no longer grips my mind; instead i dream of long summer days on the farmstead, playing with my kids in the hay in our barn, moving the animals from pen to field, gathering eggs and tending the garden. Well...i've got Korrie, and the kids, and i count my blessings every night. The farm will come in time, meanwhile i dream (usually during the diaper changes:-)
