Oct. 10: The New Labor Day

Lindsay's in labor. It started a couple of hours ago and we're going to remain at home for a little while.

Soon I have to deliver a pumpkin that's in our car to Lindsay's work. Of all the things going on, we MUST make sure to deliver that pumpkin!! Lindsay has made it clear that delivering the pumpkin must happen before delivering our baby. I guess I'm just struck by the juxtaposition of the delivery of two little pumpkins--one extremely significant, the other not.

Well, gotta go. She just asked me when I'm going to deliver that pumpkin, and I'm like, "When are YOU gonna deliver THAT pumpkin," as I point at her huge pumpkin-sized belly.

On another note, there are some benefits to having a large pregnant belly, one of them being using the belly as an eating tray for your Ben & Jerry's ice cream.

In all seriousness, please pray for Lindsay and Grace, for the strength and health of their bodies and spirits. Thank you.

Wow. It's a baby birthing week. First Micah Wolfrom and next Grace Regan!

I'll be praying for all three of you.
