04/26/2010 - Aftermath

So yeah, had a baby the other day. Of course right now we are dealing with the "aftermath" of that meaning it is hard to sleep and doing a lot of running around to get documents ready and stuff.

We've been blessed to have Christina's mother staying with us until Tuesday or Wednesday and she has been spending a lot of time with Leah while we take care of things. She is a huge blessing to us.

The home groups and our friends have also been taking care of us well lately. Last night our good friends brought us some lasagna and tonight one of the home group people brought some spaghetti. It is awesome to be surrounded by so much love and people going the extra step to help you. Sometimes I wonder if our church still has that point of view due to its immense size (10k on one campus, 12k total I think), but it is refreshing to know that these small little things which are somewhat more indicative of a small church happen.

Today I learned something new which should be better published. Seems when you have a newborn and need a passport for him before a SSN is issued, then you simply need to put 000-00-0000 in the SSN blank. A simple thing, but very difficult to find unless you know it already.

So the next few days ... more appointments and preparations and it will probably stay that way until we go home. thanks for keeping us all in prayer!
