Mid-December Already?

Hello All,

We can't believe it's already the middle of December! How quickly this month is passing! As we look at our string of Christmas cards, it just reminds us how loved and blessed we are to have so many people who care about us. We have just a few quick updates for you.

1. Tim has been wearing a walking sandal instead of his boot for an increasing amount of time each day this week. He has not had any pain in his foot and expects to be able to start wearing regular shoes in just a couple weeks! He'll be phoning in to his doctor on Monday to share his progress and get the official approval though.

2. We are well on our way to renting a house (A HOUSE!) for Tim's last year at the Seminary. There are two we are considering right now, and both seem like they will be ours if we want them. Tim mailed out a credit report to one of the owners today. We were both happy to see that we are considered "very low risk" in terms of credit, so we do not anticipate having any problems.

3. Tim and Norah are both sick with colds. We are all hoping that Jana does not catch it, and that everyone is healthy for Christmas!

4. Jana is 34 weeks pregnant today. Everything is going well. She still feels great and continues to walk most days as it is still plenty warm outside here. We cannot believe there are only 6 weeks left (more or less) until we meet our new baby! It has gone so quickly, especially with all the activities and events in the last 3 or 4 weeks. Once the new year arrives, we will only have a few weeks to get all the last minute things ready!

We also have just a couple things we'd like you all to remember in your prayers:

*Tim's sister, Heidi - She is due around the same time as Jana and is now on bedrest due to complications. She has a 4 and a half year old son to take care of as well.
*Tim's foot - Thanksgiving for healing already taken place and for continued healing
*Jana and Baby - Continued ease of pregnancy and that she would not have blood pressure issues (last two appointments showed slight increase)
*Tim and Norah - Recovery from their colds
