At The Parsonage – Part II

September 24th, 2011 by Aubri

Esther ready for her first Sunday in church.

We’re now out of laps for babies during the Sunday service so there was some shuffling around and taking turns. I imagine this will continue. I’m so thankful the Lord has given us our wonderful neighbors who sit with me every week, handing out snacks, sippy cups, quiet toys, looking at books and shushing in the pew. Such a blessing. I know not every pastor’s wife has this kind of help, I don’t know what I’d do without it!

At The Parsonage – Part I

September 23rd, 2011 by Aubri

We’re settling into things around the parsonage with four babies. Our moms are still here so the reality of life, how it will be, hasn’t hit yet, but I’m starting to get a better picture of that. I can’t say that it will always be pretty, but I suppose we’ll survive once they’re gone…maybe. Here’s what we’ve been up to.

The weather turned cooler last week and I had a craving for gingerbread cookies (they’re gone now, I think I need to make more). Delicious Fall is finally here!

Meeting sister.

Gerhardt is adjusting very well to his new role as big brother. He thinks baby sis is alright, but the things she comes with are way cooler.

A bouncy seat!

“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.”

Psalm 139
