Full Moon

Wow, I haven't blogged since October 18th. It actually seems like longer to me because this week has been so crazy it feels more like a month. Every day this week we've had at least 2 things booked. Tuesday ended up to be the wildest day. Woke up, got the kids off to school, keeping in contact with a client in labour. Had a quick chiro adjustment, off to the birth (was with her 5 minutes before baby was out! This is totally opposite of my other births this year), back home for lunch with some of our church leaders (we're starting our new church in our house Nov. 4!). I think I squeezed in a little nap, then made supper, fed the fam, off to Lyric's ballet, then back home for another meeting (here) with our new church leaders.

WHOA

The rest of the week has been packed with postnatal appointments, prenatal appointments, labour support for another client (who didn't have her baby yet), get-togethers, dance classes etc. Life sure is exciting.

Yesterday after a postpartum appointment and quick supper out (thanks Joel), we headed to the Optimist Halloween party at St. Josephs. Here are the kids before we headed out:
Cuties eh? :) We had a blast. They had little activities for the kids at several stations and the kids got treats there as well. It was fun for all of us. The adults from the community gathered around to chat as the kids were kept entertained. It was really nice. There are so few opportunities in Clinton to gather with people and chat.

So yeah, our new church will be starting in just over a week. I'm so excited (and a little scared) as God is gathering interested people. Looks like we're going to have a houseful, which is awesome! Yesterday at a postpartum appointment my client asked me about it and said they will be coming to check it out. I'm blown away by the way God is drawing people towards this new church already and it hasn't even begun yet. I believe He has some exciting things in store. I'm so honoured to be a part of this plan!!

Well, that's pretty much the gist of my life as of this moment. Tomorrow morning at Zurich church, they will be having a commissioning service where they will bless us as we are sent off to begin the new church (which will still be a part of the Zurich family). I have mixed feelings. A little sad to be leaving friends there and knowing we won't see them as often. I'm also going to miss seeing Joel's mom and dad more often. We're just going to have to make an effort to get together.

Lots of excitement around here :) The other night on the phone with a friend I asked "is it a full moon or what?" we both laughed. Later that evening when I got out of my van at my client's who was in labour there was the giant glowing moon...full as could be. I smiled. It has been a full week for the full moon :)

Check out this interesting article that talks about that very moon being the biggest and brightest of the year that very night: http://sify.com/news/fullstory.php?id=14548490 Neat! (found this after I posted and came back in to add it)
