Anyways, my contractions came steady for the next several hours, and by lunch I was in pretty serious pain about every 5 minutes. I struggled for the next hour to pack a hospital bag and prepare things for a baby that I NEVER expected to come a week early considering Anna was so late. <br /><br />By 3pm, we decided to head to the hospital, although I didn't feel that I could have progressed far as the pain was much less significant than I had with Anna. The nurses immediately checked and announced that I was 5 cm dilated, 80% effaced. I feared that receiving the epidural would halt my progress (as it did with Anna) so I continued to decline their offers to get the anesthesiologist. For two hours I stood next to the hospital bed, bracing myself against the table during each contraction. Around 5pm, 2 hours after checking in, I sent Eric off to go get some dinner and proceeded to lay down in the bed. <br /><br />My wonderful Doctor came in at that point, and checked me... and announced, to my utter shock, that I was at 8cm, and she proceeded to break my water. At that point, the contractions were painful, but still manageable... not at all the horrendous, mind-blowing horror that I endured for hours with Anna. Once she had broken my water, however, the contractions became more intense, and I was told that it was still possible to receive the epidural (Praise the Lord!) I called Eric, who rushed back to the hospital, as well as my mom who was able to leave Anna with Poppy and come over for the birth. I received the epidural and about 40 minutes later was ready to push. I pushed literally twice or three times, and out he came!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge5eeQ-lx3UXOmvqnYBMAXfD6fjKNIQmw-MBNL-VhcA9udNeSpkRlhYtMqOLmV0PKlaMAcWk0VtdBgmTMl-C1KqWM7dod45HzrnTEiZ2hY5cq80iChHs8SND2SKC_-UrhVVg9k/s1600-h/024.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge5eeQ-lx3UXOmvqnYBMAXfD6fjKNIQmw-MBNL-VhcA9udNeSpkRlhYtMqOLmV0PKlaMAcWk0VtdBgmTMl-C1KqWM7dod45HzrnTEiZ2hY5cq80iChHs8SND2SKC_-UrhVVg9k/s400/024.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393269516213094722" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3v-LS5KEHdlVEChJewUmn1hE9or_LLLrj0_9plKPAffEdekxAmvf7A0l9vFclHaKaa5DWVe4MKRDplfOWsvN_A7SYfuHywG5lyXJLM5BSWJDJ5pGCam0ZvfYIBy_zVXwHHtgr/s1600-h/028.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3v-LS5KEHdlVEChJewUmn1hE9or_LLLrj0_9plKPAffEdekxAmvf7A0l9vFclHaKaa5DWVe4MKRDplfOWsvN_A7SYfuHywG5lyXJLM5BSWJDJ5pGCam0ZvfYIBy_zVXwHHtgr/s400/028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393269522808773170" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_DMre8_ZQHw8Y4DRjK6bg5GshBVScoxcGQgEdiuoWlSk-YMbW97WrEFqlSwVHG1FLdt4GpaGsEY4UVq0QT-vv5k6dOud50uOAuzivqxNgns4uK9PFSLkDoNy4h6VejPot1RTx/s1600-h/014.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_DMre8_ZQHw8Y4DRjK6bg5GshBVScoxcGQgEdiuoWlSk-YMbW97WrEFqlSwVHG1FLdt4GpaGsEY4UVq0QT-vv5k6dOud50uOAuzivqxNgns4uK9PFSLkDoNy4h6VejPot1RTx/s400/014.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393269505969346770" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKbGUg3kZTThO4V1MKManyyufOuuiHvKbJBZQEXe9zUTPMCpQkI7qjqlNg7YEXMaq-SCZ8qJLJDFEiA00E7mrwtQFPD2mJ4Ht3YQ8UMPwdD-_wyVelOBFf6ZgZeTsLWqRcNG89/s1600-h/Asher+pic3.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKbGUg3kZTThO4V1MKManyyufOuuiHvKbJBZQEXe9zUTPMCpQkI7qjqlNg7YEXMaq-SCZ8qJLJDFEiA00E7mrwtQFPD2mJ4Ht3YQ8UMPwdD-_wyVelOBFf6ZgZeTsLWqRcNG89/s400/Asher+pic3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393270109014059298" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhdInWsu9fMrHXrBxzkYi6EUlsJfqFXjryO4bqvVKOI1I8AiayQh3Wb6JljEaE-d63PTzEvmEee359qgThzt0GEbq8FwN58ji_szt2q98ZgFfMWww4P0IfNQoS1mjjpxHhw-PU/s1600-h/067.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhdInWsu9fMrHXrBxzkYi6EUlsJfqFXjryO4bqvVKOI1I8AiayQh3Wb6JljEaE-d63PTzEvmEee359qgThzt0GEbq8FwN58ji_szt2q98ZgFfMWww4P0IfNQoS1mjjpxHhw-PU/s400/067.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393270101606123410" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKPvlj1FkxLKgoS1Bh_RW3vHwxUpmpj_Bu1jhtiHNM2QlN2oDrzC8TyrXD2LPCtZ1E5kaNgnfv9sIjiNEOcLPZ6DqO7Ue8_LX8UGk5tqn3AATqu0TmjdIahcLtzf3JlR13s1gK/s1600-h/055.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKPvlj1FkxLKgoS1Bh_RW3vHwxUpmpj_Bu1jhtiHNM2QlN2oDrzC8TyrXD2LPCtZ1E5kaNgnfv9sIjiNEOcLPZ6DqO7Ue8_LX8UGk5tqn3AATqu0TmjdIahcLtzf3JlR13s1gK/s400/055.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393270095342931282" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The entire experience was vastly different than my first delivery, and for that I am very thankful. After 23 1/2 hours in the hospital (and a little pleading) we were released to go home. <br /><br />This past week has been a blurr... the first few nights were long and hard. We've settled into a routine now, and nursing is going well and I'm actually getting some sleep! Eric began his first week of nursing school, so he has been sleeping in another room so that he can get plenty of rest... he's already had 3 tests the first week!!! (That's another post...)<br /><br />Eric and I are so in love with our baby boy... and it is such a miraculous blessing that God has gifted us two beautiful, healthy children. I am enjoying each moment with this little guy, and he's already starting to grow and change- I wish I could freeze time!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjai5IeW_URnj03kSPKPXnFxhFU3_20UfAP7sTVr3IrBgD09P1-6EwLFIBfWVAjvRe9yEOd_XNiqdW0tfrNRLqlxUOSobl7n9lU3nIYZwbxRzeubH4XwFnXkzKvrzw34UbU4lBj/s1600-h/043.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjai5IeW_URnj03kSPKPXnFxhFU3_20UfAP7sTVr3IrBgD09P1-6EwLFIBfWVAjvRe9yEOd_XNiqdW0tfrNRLqlxUOSobl7n9lU3nIYZwbxRzeubH4XwFnXkzKvrzw34UbU4lBj/s400/043.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393269532494850514" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">All 6 Grandkids<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3PqYr-tvqUiFOsccGwqJqUS2Nqd-mvSsSE5r_BLOYDrH1KDMHYHN0zzCGcvgTicwxURmJR0efJfzYP0WIwsM2JAHUohIO5LW6zLbk4Az4RSWiFvXOhCPEGFvdyqazoJUjOnZX/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3PqYr-tvqUiFOsccGwqJqUS2Nqd-mvSsSE5r_BLOYDrH1KDMHYHN0zzCGcvgTicwxURmJR0efJfzYP0WIwsM2JAHUohIO5LW6zLbk4Az4RSWiFvXOhCPEGFvdyqazoJUjOnZX/s400/010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5393270121555114146" border="0" /></a></div>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383971.post-1905613569984644272009-09-23T09:15:00.000-07:002009-09-23T09:19:26.856-07:0037 WeeksI'm <span style="font-size:180%;">big</span>.

But at least today I'm off to Walmart after to buy some goodies for my new little guy (ie, diapers, wipes, cream, etc.) And then it's back to work this afternoon! <br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=37383971" target="_blank"><img style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr269/mommychroniclesblog/siggy_liorah.gif" /></a>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383971.post-57734976731319557272009-09-10T15:49:00.001-07:002009-09-10T15:50:40.922-07:00Our New Bed!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SqmBz1_GPGI/AAAAAAAAAag/jjOlw8g8_HM/s1600-h/newbed.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SqmBz1_GPGI/AAAAAAAAAag/jjOlw8g8_HM/s400/newbed.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379973957535808610" border="0" /></a>The name of my biz, Sour Apple Studio, is a tribute NOT to apples... I actually don't care much for them... but in fact for the color! I've been obsessed with green for as long as I can remember, and it comes through in just about every way, but ESPECIALLY in my decorating preferences. This time, I think I truly found the most delectable, most delicious green color of all time and I just finished painting our new bedroom and we picked up our new bed (our splurge) this afternoon! It needs some accessories and wall decor, but we're off to a good start!<br /><br />P.S. the color is Homestead Resort Moss from Valspar... yummy!<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=37383971" target="_blank"><img style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr269/mommychroniclesblog/siggy_liorah.gif" /></a>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383971.post-72148311637256288012009-09-02T08:48:00.000-07:002009-09-02T08:57:31.069-07:00Are we the only ones...who give <span style="font-size:180%;">names </span>to our <span style="font-size:180%;">vacuums</span>?<br /><br />Our large shop vac is named Larry, and the small hand-held is named Larry Jr. Why? No idea. And the funny part is we don't even realize that it's odd to name your vacuum. Here's an example:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Setting: Anna drops a lightbulb which shatters and spreads tiny glass shards all over the entryway. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MOM: "Eric, Anna just broke the lightbulb! I'll grab her so she doesn't step on the glass, can you get Larry Junior to clean it up?"<br /><br />ERIC: "Sure, be right back". Eric exits to the garage and then re-enters with the shop vac.<br /><br />MOM: "No, not Larry... just get Larry Jr."<br /><br />ERIC: "Oh yeah, just a sec." Eric returns the shop vac to the garage and grabs the hand-held from the closet. Then he proceeds to clean up the glass and return Larry Junior it's home.<br /><br />Does this conversation strike anyone else as weird? Ha ha ha... I love my family.</span><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=37383971&postID=7214831163725628801" target="_blank"><img style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr269/mommychroniclesblog/siggy_liorah.gif" /></a>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383971.post-69066870066567905532009-08-31T13:14:00.001-07:002009-08-31T13:14:49.803-07:00ETC Cards...

But when I lost my Bible and needed to buy a new one, I thought it would be so fun to find someone to make a custom quilted Bible cover for it! So I went to Etsy, did a search, and viola! I found <a href="http://www.etccards.etsy.com/">ETC Cards</a>!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"><-- CHECK OUT MY AWESOME STUFF!</span><br /><br />I contacted Stephanie for a custom Bible cover... I picked out my fabric (although she has tons of adorable fabrics to choose from including Amy Butler... love her...) and she was gracious enough to also make me this matching tote (How cute will I be at Bible Study!:) Stephanie has tons of adorable, hand-quilted/sewn items for sale at her store! I've posted some pics of other products below, and wanted to let you know that she is offering FREE SHIPPING to all you guys, if you mention Sour Apple Studio in your notes to seller! I also thought it would be fun to get to know Stephanie and her business a little better, so be sure to check out the interview at the bottom! Thank you girl for making my month! <center><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SpwtDEGxw3I/AAAAAAAAAZI/j8esE-JVUHU/s1600-h/etc3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 125px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SpwtDEGxw3I/AAAAAAAAAZI/j8esE-JVUHU/s200/etc3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376221585838556018" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SpwtC_m0ggI/AAAAAAAAAZA/KyE5XJrGRc0/s1600-h/etc2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 125px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SpwtC_m0ggI/AAAAAAAAAZA/KyE5XJrGRc0/s200/etc2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376221584630776322" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SpwtCTQ-tII/AAAAAAAAAY4/oqXxQiK-ZxY/s1600-h/etc1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 155px; height: 125px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SpwtCTQ-tII/AAAAAAAAAY4/oqXxQiK-ZxY/s200/etc1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376221572728009858" border="0" /></a></center><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />INTERVIEW WITH STEPHANIE OF ETC CARDS!<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> <span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">1. Tell us about yourself!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I'm Stephanie, mother of a toddler, wife to a wonderful husband, nurse by education, Christian by grace, and creative - somehow! Our family recently relocated to Tampa from Raleigh to help </span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">a new church in Tampa. </span></span><br /><br />2. Tell us about your products and how you got started!</span><br />My mother was quite the crafter and so I think it was kinda ingrained in me to have a knack for crafting. It wasn't until two years ago that I started selling my crafts to friends and family. Last summer, I stumbled upon etsy and oh, how I fell in love! I started off selling cards on Etsy (hence the shop name!), but after I got the hang of sewing, I started offering handmade Bible covers, journal covers, coloring wallets and TRUTHlets. I truly love sewing and have just recently started combining my love for both and started creating fabric cards.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">3. What is your favorite part about ETC cards?</span></span><br />I love when others get excited about getting handmade things. Etsy offers such a personal experience and I've gotten to know many of my customers how have given me such great feedback. Knowing that my customers love their products fuels my passion for it even more. And I just love thinking about all my handmade cards making their way around the country and hopefully brightening someone's day!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.etccards.etsy.com/"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 88px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hco4F20uwJ8/SpwuUPpwdVI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/-Z_ZQXgxVro/s400/etc_freeshipping.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376222980507465042" border="0" /></a>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383971.post-58473553865573333812009-08-23T20:15:00.001-07:002009-08-23T20:20:31.574-07:00Whose Kid Is This?<div style="text-align: center;">Certainly not mine!?

Eric and I are going next month when he gets home from Panama. I haven't been since high school, but I can't wait to show Eric the Coca-Cola Museum! You pay $2 for a small cup and then you can take coke right from the coke fountains and they have an international soda machine (at least that's what I remember).<br /><br />Gambling? Nah. Coke Museum? Absolutely. Man, I sound dorky right now.<br /><br />I also wanted to mention that I booked through <a href="http://www.expedia.com/">expedia</a> and used the code 10MAY to receive $10 off each night's stay... which made the already good deal just awesome. You have to use the code by May 31, but I am just so excited with myself for finding the code, and wanted to pass on the fun.<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=37383971" target="_blank"><br /></a>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383971.post-87478965029116415482009-05-20T07:37:00.001-07:002009-05-20T07:39:38.229-07:00Sour Apple Studio!For the past year I have thoroughly enjoyed creating custom blog designs for my wonderful clients! I have felt the urge, for quite some time now, to expand my little design business to offer custom website/e-commerce boutique designs, premade website templates, as well as custom blog designs.<br /><br />I decided to change the name from LindseyJoy Design to Sour Apple Studio in order to start this newly expanded design business with a fresh, fun name. (Go ahead Chad... make fun) But I love my new name and think I'll keep it!<br /><br />So while I wait for www.lindseyjoydesign.com to begin forwarding you to my new site, go ahead and just jump on over there and check it out!<br /><br /><center><a href="http://www.sourapplestudio.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Sour Apple Studio" src="http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss180/sourapplestudio/Sour%20Apple%20Studio%20BLOG/banner_180.gif" border="0" /></a></center><br /><center><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.sourapplestudio.com/">www.sourapplestudio.com</a></span></center>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383971.post-89222058935338300852009-05-15T21:58:00.000-07:002009-05-27T00:20:56.328-07:00Cousins!One of the very best things about being back in California, is that now Anna will be able to get to know her cousins! We spent the day at my brother's house yesterday and the girls played together all day! (Little Cooper just watches for now... he's got a few months to wait before his little buddy arrives). I can just imagine the four kids... 2 girls nearly the exact same age, and 2 little boys nearly the same age. So fun!!! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-7nHXpqkgsbiQZkDGIy1Jao3nLkZpVBn7596v4mRX4D-r-Y-n69GsXRlipwBmLiuztoTO0_o5v9b4gEHDI4cJ0wIu4Py88-itEIDEqB7cZBirTMXPj0i8Jq5jXpntWmOTmgLE/s1600-h/020.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We are so thankful that the Lord led us to serve with Calvary Chapel Panama for a season, and now we are excited as we learn to follow God's leading... even if the timing is different than what we had originally expected.<br /><br />I traveled back to California nearly two weeks ago with my mom, daughter, 6 suitcases, 5 carry-ons, 1 stroller, 1 carseat and a dog! Eric remains in Panama until mid-June to finish teaching this semester of Bible College and to help smooth the transition.<br /><br />Since arriving back, I have been filled with peace and blessing (and my morning sickness is finally gone!) Eric is confirmed in our decision, and is also very much at peace with moving on to something new... whatever God decides that might be.<br /><br />We want to thank all of you for your diligent prayers and support over the past year and half. We truly are blessed to have served for a time, and will always hold the people of Panama close to our hearts. We will continue to pray for the church in Panama and we hope you do the same! God is doing big and mighty things in the hearts of the people there!<br /><br />In our immediate future, we will settle back in our hometown of Murrieta/Temecula and Eric plans to attend school and I will continue to expand my web design business and enjoy being home with my babies. <br /><br />We also learned today that the baby we are expecting in October, is a little boy! Eric of course is overjoyed, and I am so blessed that God has trusted us with another precious child! I can't wait to meet my son!<br /><br />Please pray for our family during this time of transition... it was step of faith to leave our home and move to a foreign land, and it is also in faith that we move back... and wait on the Lord for the next step.<br /><br /><a href="" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr269/mommychroniclesblog/siggy_liorah.gif" /></a>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37383971.post-85447037766366354672009-04-28T08:53:00.000-07:002009-04-28T09:03:05.847-07:00Costa Rica!We had a blast!!!

A TributeTomorrow we leave for Costa Rica... again. Our 90 day tourist visas are expiring, and we gotta go. This time we are flying from Panama City to San Jose, renting a car, and driving to an all-inclusive beach resort in Puntarenas. Me very happy. I will be sure to post photos when we get back.<br /><br />As I pack our things for this trip, I thought I'd reflect on the past trips we've made to leave the country every 90 days. I'm not going to lie... with a small child, mandatory international travel every 3 months is not super fun. But we've survived, and we've made some really great memories:<br /><br />Our first excursion was to <a href="http://www.esquinaslodge.com/">Esquinas Rainforest Lodge</a> in Costa Rica. It was a pain to drive all the way up to Costa Rica, cross the border, find a chiva, drive 2 hours into the jungle, and check in to our little cabanas. But if you check out the website, you'll see it was totally worth it!

My mouth fell open when I saw this particular item (can you believe 144 grams of fat in one meal?!!) I'm no health fanatic, but still I just about had a heart attack when I saw this! Check it out:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">THE WORST DRIVE-THRU MEAL IN AMERICA<br />Carl's Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger<br />with Medium Natural cut Fries and 32 oz Coke<br />2,618 Calories<br />144 g fat (51.5 g saturated fat)<br />2892 mg sodium<br /><br />Of all the gut-growing, heart-stopping, life-threatening burgers in the fast food world, there is none whose damage to your general well-being is as catastrophic as this. Consider these heart-stopping comparisons: This meal has the caloric equivalent of 13 Krispy Kreme Original Glazed Donuts; the saturated fat equivalent of 52 strips of bacon; and the salt equivalent of seven and a half large orders of McDonald's French fries! </span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=37383971" target="_blank"><img style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" src="http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr269/mommychroniclesblog/siggy_liorah.gif" /></a>Lindseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15242674315552202072noreply@blogger.com2
