"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, PATIENCE..."

Here is Caleb's Christmas stocking. It's hard to tell how tiny it is with nothing showing perspective, but trust me...compared to Foxy Mama's and Stud Papa's stockings, this thing is quite fitting for a baby!
Galatians 5:22-23 is a doozie. My (Jason's) Christmas break from teaching was one week ago. Christmas was a few days later. Caleb's due date was yesterday. And we are required to blend "love, joy, [and] peace" WITH "patience." It may be a virtue, but it's a virtue that I don't have time for! (Read: Lame humor!) Nonetheless, God certainly knows exactly what we all need, and He gives good gifts to those who know Him. Caleb may never be able to fit into his own stocking (remember, I said it really was small!), but he will be quite the amazing gift whenever he does come!

Preparations for Caleb

Well, tomorrow the 28th is our official due date and we are still waiting for Caleb to make his first appearance. So for our first post, we thought we would show a few pics of our preparations for his arrival and a few belly shots for the "Grandma's-to-be" who asked for them!
