Oh my, I'm trying....

I'll have to direct you to my Project 365 {366, actually} for some bit of a Deterding family update.  I am keeping up with it, thankfully, and enjoying collecting photos of the every-day sort of things we're up to.

In most of my other spare time, I admit, I've been napping.  I am so very tired, because I am so very 12 weeks pregnant.

In the coming days and weeks, I'd love to update you with news about:

- Our surprise blessing of a new little baby, who is due on October 16th 

- Avery at the age of one year (and backtracking to talk about Avery at the age of 11 months)

- Grace at the age of five years

- Leah who is three and a half and hopefully doesn't feel too left out since she doesn't have a March birthday like the other sisters around here

- our plans for our garden, which include ditching the idea of starting from seed and "eliminating" our resident groundhog

- our trip to the zoo

- Avery's nursery, which is pretty much complete (just in time to start thinking about changing it for the next kid)
