I'm more of a slacker than most...

I have been very delinquent in my blog posting. Isn't it funny how life can get in the way of something so important as blogging? ;)

Well, a lot is going on in the Parrish household. Not only do we have a little 15 month old who is super curious and loves to explore and watch (and Touch) EVERYTHING... we have another one on the way.

Yep, for those of you who hadn't heard, we have the second little Parrish due to arrive sometime in October this year. For those of you doing the math, Evan and his little sibling will be about 22 months apart. Not too bad.

So, we've been keeping the news on the down low. For a couple of reasons, but nothing too major. We are about 11 weeks along, so we're still pretty early on. Yes, still in the nauseous stage. Almost through it, I hope.

In Evan news, he and I have been fighting a cold for a little over a week now. Going on two weeks, really. I'm ready for both of us to be better. I think we're getting there. Of course, in the process, Robin also got the cold, so we're a family full of sick people. FUN!

Robin & I took Evan outside to play yesterday. We haven't done that too much. We should have done it a lot more before now, because our son is petrified of grass. He doesn't want to walk on it, touch it, not even eat it, which is pretty unbelievable. He found himself standing on the grass by accident at one point and just about had a meltdown. I had to rescue him from the mean, scary grass... sigh. We'll work on it. I know he'll get over it...eventually.

So, that's where the Parrish family is at. Lots going on. We could still use a lot of prayer concerning our finances. Robin has been able to find a few small jobs to generate some income, but we'd love for him to find something more permanent that would still allow him to work at home and write.

We're excited to see what God has in store for us. We know he has a plan much bigger than we are and we're trying to keep looking to Him for encouragement and provision. We're so thankful He cares about us and He already knows how this part of our story ends. Thank goodness He is in control.

  4. Congrats on the upcoming addition!!!!!!! Just think...you get over the barfies, and then you get fat and can't see your ankles for 6 months. But somehow, holding your child makes all the aches and pains worth it! I wish you a happy and healthy nine months! Poor Evan, doesn't know what is coming does he?
