flooded with distractions

despite our attempts to be somewhat regular with our postings, sometimes we get distracted. this time, it was a whole flood of distractions. brad and i had the pleasure of visiting his parents over memorial day weekend to catch up, show off the belly, and just generally enjoy each others' company. then the phone rang at 7:30 during dinner friday night. randy and shelley (parents of our close friends davon and kimberly) who were staying at our house while said friends brought baby #2 into the world were calling to share the unfortunate news that our house was under water due to an equipment failure in the master bathroom. not fun to hear and definitely not fun for them to have to make that phone call.

now for the good news -- randy and shelley were there!! we're thanking God that they were staying there -- otherwise, we're not sure we would have had a house left! special thanks also go to our small group who graciously came to lift/move furniture and sop up all the excess water.

needless to say, we've been dealing with aftermath since we returned. with all that excitement plus the endless piles of work at both of our jobs, we haven't had much time for anything else. including scheduling the delivery of mason's furniture, which ironically came in the day before the flood.

in mason news, the little monkey is doing well. he has taken up permanent residence in my ribcage (i'm not a fan) and spends his days poking and kicking mommy. in fact, when i try to coax him to move out of my ribs, he pushes right back at me! we have a doctor's appointment monday for my glucose test and as a bonus, we get to have another ultrasound! we can't wait to see how much he's grown!

stay tuned for more updates (we'll share more pictures of the house once it's pieced back together). have a great week!
