I'm blogging less...

... because I'm leaving the house more!

Sorry it's been quiet on the blog front... but I've been busy leaving the house.

Yesterday I went to take Lucy to the vet in the morning, then went back to pick her up, and also went out to dinner with Jonna!! It's nice getting out.

This morning Levi and I went to a Children's Consignment Sale.  It was put on by a mom's with multiples group so they had lots of stuff.  I got 10 outfits and a car seat base for William's car (or whoever else may need it around here) for $40.  The carseat bases are $85 brand new, so it was totally worth it!

Tomorrow is William's 25th birthday, and I have to say that I'm totally unprepared this year.  Sadly it snuck up on me and so I guess I'm just going to have to get him something yummy to eat and hope that a new baby is a good enough present.  I'm normally all about making birthdays a big deal... but with a 3 week old it's a little hard.

In other news, we should be headed to Houston at the end of this week.  William's rig will be done drilling and we need to run down to Houston to take care of a little business and see some family.  So, if you are in Houston and itching to see Levi, stay tuned for dates and times.

And lastly, I'd really appreciate if everyone would keep us in your prayers.  It always seems like everything happens all at once with us.  We aren't ready to go into details for the whole world yet, but let's just say that William will be fulfilling a big military obligation very soon.  It is both something we have been waiting for and dreading all at the same time.  And wouldn't you guess it decided to grace us with it's presence about 4 hours before I gave birth to Levi.  It has been really hard to be dealing with postpartum hormones and facing the reality of our military commitments.  Every day has it's ups and downs and I would be remiss if I didn't say that it has made recovering from the "baby blues" very difficult.  We will explain more when the time is right and when things are more clear to us.

Like we have come to expect with everything in the Stephens household... we never know what the next day holds for us as a family.  We are just glad we are in it together.
