- We have made doctor's visits for all of the kids back in Florida. They are so excited to get caught up on their shots & vaccinations! (Okay, maybe not!) But it is a blessing to get their check-ups and immunizations up to date.
-We will be making an appointment at the eye doctor for Joshua for the day after he, Kami, Silas and Callie arrive in Ft. Myers. He desperately needs glasses as he cannot even read something just ten feet away! The only reason we have not done it by now is that we cannot afford an exam and glasses here. At first he was against getting glasses, but now he is ready to "see" again!
-Kami will be making her appointment with her mid-wife upon her return. We are hoping that the baby will come just shortly after I and the two girls arrive in Ft. Myers and we are really hoping that the baby does not decide to take his/her time and come late! We are already anxious to return back here to St. Barthelemy as soon as we can.
-Being back in Florida will give us the chance to restock on some much needed items that we cannot get here. For example, the kids have grown up so much in just a year that they all need new clothes and shoes. We cannot buy these things here as they are too expensive to purchase. So we will be stocking up on undergarments, shoes, and clothes. Kami and the kids are already planning several thrift store trips to try to find some good second-hand clothing...we love thrift stores!
-On a final note, we did not have anything for a newborn and we have been praying that the Lord would provide for all of the things that we would need for a new baby. On Saturday, our landlord passed by with his truck loaded down with all the supplies for a newborn! These are all things that we didn't have and what a blessing it was to receive them: an infant car seat, an infant bassinet, infant swing, infant bath tub and stand, infant play mats, a bag full of infant toys, baby reclining seat, baby crib with mattress, infant sling and several other things! What a huge blessing! (What a blessing it is to also have all of the things for a church nursery as well!)
Here are the bassinet, car seat, and swing!
Here are some of the toys!
Praise the Lord for His great provision! Kami, Josh, Silas and Callie will be leaving next Monday so please be in prayer for them as they travel! Until next time...
