"Our Father in Heaven has given us, His children, much more than any mortal mind can comprehend. Under His direction the Great Jehovah created this wonderous world we live in . God the Father watches over us, fills our hearts with breathtaking joy, brightens our darkest hours with blessed peace, distills upon our minds precious truths, shepherds us through times of distress, rejoices when we rejoice, and answers our righteous petitions." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009

Julia’s first day of Kindergarten

Julia started kindergarten today. She was so excited. He teacher is Mrs. Caldwell. There were no tears. She sat at her little desk and said hi to one of the other little girls (Kaylee) that she met during orientation. Today only half of the class showed up and yesterday the other half came. And tomorrow all of them will be there together. Last night we had her favorite dinner to celebrate (hamburgers, fires, and brownies). Hopefully she has a good day. Haley will miss her.

Sorry it took so long to post. I couldn’t find my cord to the camera to get the pictures. Just to update Julia had a great first week of school and loves it. And Haley misses her each day.

Update on the new arrival

Last Monday I went for an ultra sound appointment. All is well the baby weighs a little over 3 lbs. She is moving around a lot and sits in a very uncomfortable position (for me) resting her bottom on my pelvic bone, facing my left side and her spine curves around to my right side. Not sure if she’ll turn to the right position before her due date, but it doesn't mater. Since everything is right on target, we scheduled the c-section for October 26 at 7:30am.  I think we have also decided on a name, Cameron Irene Chapman. But with Paul he may change his mind again, but hopefully not because we don’t have any back ups!  The ultrasound specialist was very nice and since my sister works there I get special treatment from everyone. She did a 4- D picture for me, not that it shows a whole lot but it was cute. 

She has her little hand up by her face like she’s sleeping on it.  4d face

We can’t wait to see this new little Spirit, and find out what her personality is like. They are always such fun.
