My little ones

As I ponder bringing another little Boytim into this world I find myself wondering what the Lord will do with these little ones. I have times of such joy and yet sometimes I wonder how I will handle 4 little ones intrusted in my care. I still feel like a kid myself. Watching all my babies sleep tonight I am so touched by the deep love I have for them - what must the Lord feel for them? I pray that He lets me keep all of them for a long, long time. I am so very blessed by these little ones and my awesome, wonderful, and of course VERY good looking husband. I try to see ahead 10, 15, 20 years and wonder what He will do in our lives. Katie and I read a informative book on Noah's ark tonight and it made a statement about how intelligent the people in Noah's day must have been. The book supposes that those people were extremely intelligent and maybe even surpassed us in technology, engineering, etc.....
Why? Because these people lived close to 1000 YEARS! Can you imagine how much knowledge they obtained? I have never thought of it that way....

Ok, enough of my wondering thoughts tonight - my almost 3 year old just climbed in my lap. He is wondering if mommy is coming to bed anytime soon............

Some pics of my blessings....

This is it

Well, this is it, the last month. I have been having really good Braxton-Hicks these last few days. Hopefully they are helping out and I will be ready to go when the time comes! Night before last the contractions were every 10 minutes apart for 4 hours. I finally got to sleep and they were gone by in the morning. I could tell that the little one has moved though. He was posterior at the last midwife visit. but I think he has turned anterior. Please keep my in your prayers for a safe and easy delivery. I am feeling really good, not nearly as uptight as I was about the last delivery. Ready for baby to come and I know I can do it - I have done it 3 other times........ :)

Hope to see everyone soon.

Another family pic

Can you believe I have gotten Will to take TWO family pictures! This one is on the dock of the lake across the street from us. It is a "timer" taken picture -I thought it turned out really well considering that!

The Boytim family WIll, Bev, Bella (18 months), Katie (9), Card (2) and Baby Boytim has just one month (or less) left!

Uncooking today

Well we made some raw granola today (this is a normal Saturday thing) and Bella helped out. She is great at getting all the honey off the honey jar lid.....

Finger lickin good

Card is potty training one of Bella's babies......

I am so blessed to have such wonderful helpers. Katie put together all the granola stuff. She is in training for "after baby" so all mommy has to do is nurse and take care of little ones. She thanks me after days like this for helping her learn how to take care of her family (both the present family and the one in the future). Makes a mommy feel good, especially when she wonders if anything she is doing is making a difference and when she is looking at all the oats, seeds, nuts, etc... on the floor.......

Our sweet little eggs.....

Once upon a time there was a home schooling family that was building a farm. One day Daddy was clearing land and found a nest of eggs. Thinking this would be a great home school experiment; the family took the eggs, put them in a flower pot on the front porch, kept it moist and waited in anticipation for their little turtle eggs to hatch. Below is the result of that sweet little experiment….

Here is the flower pot - if you look to the right you can see the hole they all came out of. Yes, I said "all came out of", meaning there was more than one or two. We counted 5 that we saw - dont know how many had hatched and left before then. There were about 15 eggs...........

We still have one up for grabs if anyone would like it!!!!
