Waiting for Rebekah Joy to Arrive


Grandma and Grandpa Friesen came to stay with us for two weeks waiting for baby Rebekah Joy to show her beautiful face. It was so great having them here. We always love the time we get to spend with them. It goes by too fast. Halle really REALLY enjoyed having them here as well. She was the center of attention. She got lots of playtime, hugs, kisses, suckers and ICE CREAM!!! Karen was so amazing and helped keep the house together, our tummies fed (really well), laundry done, and a peaceful home. She wouldn't let me do anything...fold clothes, cook, clean up...nothing! It was such a blessing to have her here. She is such a servant and generous giver of her time, heart, and resources. Jesus shines through her. Thank you Karen! We love you!

Halle also got plenty of attention from mommy and Daddy too leading up to when Rebekah Joy arrived. Daddy took her swimming alot.




Uncle Mike also came for a few days to hopefully meet Rebekah.
Getting ice cream became almost a nightly thing. Halle sure enjoyed it along with everyone else.


Grandpa had to take a short business trip the first week and came back with some goodies for Halle.
Halle loved playing chase with Grandpa or she called it, "runnin." They would stand on opposite sides of the room and count from 1 to three together and then run into one another in the middle or Halle would slip right through Grandpa's legs.

Halle looked forward to getting weighed on Grandma's scale every morning along with getting a spray of perfume and lipstick from her.

We were so blessed having them here for those exciting two weeks. Thankfully Rebekah Joy did make an appearance before they left. Details to follow in the next blog post.
