Just wanted to let y'all know that on July 21, I won't be home to calls, visits, or perhaps even, children and spouse. Please consider this to be fair warning.

A little more about me
I am....
wife of Dennis, my sweet love - the kindest, gentlest, funniest, smartest man I've ever known and EXACTLY the man for whom I prayed (and not at all who I thought I wanted but thankfully, God is wiser than I);
mother of Annalivia '05, Daniel '07, Emmeliese '09, Peter '10, and Elora (born into the arms of Jesus '13) the hearts of my own heart, joys of my life, far more than I ever prayed for because my mind could never conceive of such wonderfully intricate and delightful little beings;
granddaughter of grandparents who taught me to love fiercely and forgive freely and that it is better to be respectful rather than proved right and grateful rather than gratified;
daughter of two amazing people who have devoted themselves to their children and family and have continued to figure out ways to love each other;
sister of three incredibly intelligent, clever, imaginative, zany younger sisters, my best friends, who are crazy enough to keep coming back, even though I do all sorts of things to drive them nuts;
friend of some hilarious people from kindergarten, grade school, high school, college, seminary and beyond;
former pastor learning the joys and challenges of being called to be home full-time-ish while volunteer-teaching at a teeny classical school;
pilgrim bumbling forward on this amazingly glorious journey towards Home.

ooh... i know. we'll be on vacation and will buy it right away and will be reading it out loud. yes! good thing to fantasize about!
we may need to buy two copies because my husband doesn't like it when I read over his shoulder or vice versa.
duh . . .
:)
My baby might come then if I make it full term! I'm due the 22nd, so I'll have to read and hold him at the same time. :)
When #6 came out, Annalivia was about 5 months old and I kept warning Dennis that she was going to be orphaned that day. I got up at 6 a.m. and went to Wal-Mart, got a copy, started reading in "the nursing chair" and did not move all day. And I remember being terribly annoyed when he'd come in and suggest that perhaps she needed to be fed. I finished sometime after midnight, I think. Then I re-read the rest of the books and had to go back and re-read #6 more carefully a couple days later with just a slight amount more attention to the needs of my husband and child. Just a bit.
I'm not particularly proud of this track record, I'm just sayin'... I'd understand the ridiculous scenarios bandied about by the reporters this week of what will happen when THE HP book arrives. And Amy, if you would have the baby early or late just by sheer force of will, I won't judge... :)
Got it.
