Today is Mother's Day. It was also my due date. This is a day that I have been dreading ever since September 22, 2009, the day I heard the most horrible news, there was no baby. I haven't ever blogged about being pregnant, or about my miscarriage, simply because it was too difficult. But today, instead of sadness, anger, grief, or sorrow, I am filled with hope and a peace that only comes from God. I have been praying for the past 8 months, that God would give me His peace and hope. I fully expected to be filled with sadness today, but God provides, even when we doubt.
I was able to spend the morning with my Mom at her church, which was such a blessing. I was doing so good all morning, until a sweet lady from my Bible Study came up to me and said, "Happy Mother's Day Katie, next year." She is praying and believing that this time next year, I will be a mother. It was such a sweet thing to hear, and again, I was filled with hope. I know that God has a plan for me, and that His plan is going to be better then anything I could have ever dreamed of.
Now to Him who is able to do Immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
Happy Anniversary Andrew!
My squash plant has baby squash on it! 
and my pepper plant is so close to having a pepper on it.
I also planted some peas and green beans from seed, and they are finally big enough to plant in a bigger pot. 
Here is Zoe watching a movie with Elise sitting next to her.
My squash plant is still growing like crazy, no blooms yet. 
My pepper plant is growing really well, and there is a hint of a bloom starting, but it was too small to even get a picture of. 
My third tomato plant is getting big, but no blooms yet. 
I know it is still early, and I have never had a plant get fruit as early as I have this year. It is so exciting to know that in just a few weeks I will be eating home grown tomatoes!!
Here are my latest name blocks I created for Julie's baby. I saw the paper at Hobby Lobby, and knew I had to make some blocks using it. 
I found some paint that coordinated well, and Voila! 
I am so excited with how they turned out. I gave them to Julie this past weekend, and she loved them.
