Waiting on Baby...

Callie was eager to meet the world and was born a week early.  Blake values promptness (he's going to be a pilot when he grows up) and was born exactly on time.  This little girl however seems very content with where she is and has no intention of giving up her cozy little resting place!  Ellie is 3 days overdue and the plan is to induce her on Saturday Nov 3 if the excitement hasn't happened by then.  She has no idea how excited we all are to meet her!!

Grandma and Grandpa Woelke have been here for the last week helping us with meals and playing with the kids.  It's been SO nice having the help, but also the comfort of having family close by during a time like this.
 
So what have we been doing while we wait for baby to make her appearance?  Well we went to a Fall Festival up at Greenbluff where we enjoyed fresh hot apple cider, fresh pumpkin donuts (Matt's favorite!), running around a pumpkin patch, and dancing to the live music.  The pictures below are from that weekend. 

Besides that we were all knocked flat by a stomach bug last week.  It hit all 4 of us on the same day and I don't know what we would have done if grandma and grandpa weren't here to pick up the slack for those couple days! 

We continue to look for opportunities to share about MAF and invite people into our financial and prayer team as well.  Matt is heading down to Arizona the weekend before Thanksgiving to speak in a church about missions and to connect with friends down there.  The weekend before that Matt has the opportunity to speak in a local church, and then this coming weekend (if the baby doesn't decide to come on that day) he will be involved in a panel at the big Spokane Missions Conference on Saturday.

So that's about it for now...we'll be sure to put the word out in every way that we can when baby Scheer #3 decides it's time to introduce herself to the world!  Pray with us for a safe and healthy delivery!
