Sarah Mae, from the blog Stretching into Blue, is launching her ebook called Frumps to Pumps. It is a one-month devotional to getting dressed and staying that way! She led this devotional for 30 days from her blog before it came out as an ebook and that is when I participated. It is seriously what got me motivated after having baby #6. It was very motivating and took one thing at a time which was all I could handle for that moment. I highly recommend it. Here is a link to her blog post where she is launching it AND doing a giveaway for a $500 giftcard for Target...who could use a few things from Target?...yes, me! So help here by spreading the word! <br />

Seriously, if you have a problem getting motivated to start your day, check out her book...I am so glad the Lord brought it across my path when He did...Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15461570016456858598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830264493574458660.post-44516088799930504502012-02-28T11:42:00.000-08:002012-02-28T11:42:56.186-08:00Such Cuties<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWXlc6mSU-7IXeN5YsULc-ffm5j7ZTkOUSx5_gmjOPyNTLGvKLZlZOFRdjiUHvUwKE7uFoolqjMV0_UTwBLnf56059D0WN_88lYynLvVB8KUmMnvrmauY8dL88kKRj8htpij3kmwCYx5I/s1600/Feb+2012+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWXlc6mSU-7IXeN5YsULc-ffm5j7ZTkOUSx5_gmjOPyNTLGvKLZlZOFRdjiUHvUwKE7uFoolqjMV0_UTwBLnf56059D0WN_88lYynLvVB8KUmMnvrmauY8dL88kKRj8htpij3kmwCYx5I/s320/Feb+2012+004.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Since we don't get to go back to Indiana for Christmas, she brought Christmas to us. Travis and I were sent off for the day and the kids and her worked all day to prepare for our celebration. They went all out...food...decorations...and lots of love...</div><div style="text-align: center;">When we arrived home, we walked in to find this lovely tree all decked out with presents stacked up around it. You can't tell, but they have rocks, leafs, and other unique items stuck to it for decorations. Best of all, they used my stainless steel scratcher as tinsel...I needed a new one anyway :o)<br />

What have we been doing this whole time? Well, since the last post, Ira and I made a trip back to Indiana to visit my Aunt Bonnie and other family, my belly and butt continued to grow with the progression of the pregnancy, we suffered through a scorching HOT summer (40 days consecutive of 100+ temperatures with a total of 70 days of triple digit temps over the whole course of the summer), God graciously blessed my husband with a new job!, we ended one year of school and have started up another, I worked on different sewing projects, Emma lost three more teeth, Ira's hair has grown very long and he now looks like a hippy dude, Oliver has continued to keep us entertained, Elise's legs have grown longer, Avrie has blown us all away with his growth and abilities on the piano, Winston made a new friend - Rico - and made a world record for the number of burs one dog can get in a short time outside in the backyard, we haven't mowed our grass since June, the three oldest children went back to Indiana for a 2 week visit and I realized what big helpers they are to me, we changed the school room upstairs into a play room and moved all the school stuff downstairs, Travis repaired the tandem and now we go for bike rides, we celebrated our 11th year of marriage, and yesterday we became a family of eight. As Travis put it, yesterday morning at 6:11 a.m. Eleanor Roselind Latta was ushered into our presence by grace for His glory and our overwhelming delight! She was 7 lbs. 1.5 oz. and 20" long. Head full of dark hair and beautiful skin. She is simply amazing. She took her time getting here, but we are so grateful for the gift that she is from our Lord. The Lord answered prayer by allowing us to have another good birthing experience. The only complications we had was me hemorrhaging about a liter of blood after delivery, but it was eventually gotten under control and I was able to go home with strict orders to be on bed rest for three days. I was so blessed to have my midwives and birthing assistant at Inanna Birthing Center once again be a part of the experience, I am so grateful for each of them! Now, for the first time out of all six children I've had, I am actually sleeping when the baby sleeps...except for right now because I can't, I think I'm on a sugar high. I will post a picture soon of the little beauty... Thank you all for your prayers and I ask that you continue to pray for healing.

She left it under her pillow in an envelope that night for the tooth fairy (me and she knows it's me). Well, she woke the next morning and brought me the envelope...then it hit me that I forgot to leave $ under her pillow that night...SO I told her she (the tooth fairy, which is me and she knows it) must of had the night off since it was Memorial Day and to try it again that night. I didn't forget that time! She feels like a big girl now!
