pick a title: the Lord works in mysterious ways; i take back what i said about becoming a hermit; can someone please pry the baby out of my ribcage?

so, i tried to continue my hermit-like streak but ran into some complications today! amelie slept in like a precious angel and we made a trip to walmart to pick up some odds and ends--including this cow flashlight which she loves! we then spent about an hour with steven--let me just say, i LOVE being close by his school!!! amelie spent a lot of time playing the drums and with the various "toys" available in daddy's room.

upon coming home we spied two little boys playing outside with their mama and so amelie wanted to sit outside and watch them play. they eventually came over to introduce themselves to us and it turns out they were people i've been dying to meet--i just didn't know it was them! the mom's name is alejandra and she's from guatamala and is living here with her 9 mo. and 2 y. old son and her husband works at a hospital in philly. my pastor's wife had told me about her months ago while we were planning our move to heights and i've never been able to meet her in person until the Lord brought us together today! she is a sweetheart and i'm hoping this baby comes along soon so we can start walking together--as she loves to walk and i need to!

i'm so excited to get to know her and her family better! God is good, i'm glad i failed at being a hermit today or i might not have gotten to meet her so soon =-)
