Last Thursday night, we had our accountability group meeting at Dawn's house. Dawn really went out of her way to prepare the dinner for us. We had a delicious dinner and a wonderful time together. This month, my goal list was the shortest, with the only focus on the baby and myself. We always ran out of time before we realized it. When I got home, it was already past the bedtime.
Friday David and I had the car-seat inspection at Babyrus. Unfortunately, the police officer and the fireman told us we had to get a new car seat. We had dinner at Cici's (my favorite pizza place) and did shopping at Baby Depot. The next day, we shopped for the car seat for the most of the day. In the afternoon, we went to church for the fall festival. Hongyu and Sandy were there. We had good time watching the kids running around with costumes. I wish I took some pictures ... Next year Emily will be in her cute costume!
Sunday we met more people at McDermott. People there were so friendly. David went to their Friday morning men's Bible studies on the world religions. He liked it very much. They have women's Bible studies on Thursday nights too. I may check it out when I have time. David did Friendspeak with Hongyu and gave him some peppers from our backyard - we have way too many peppers this year!
Starting from last Friday, I began to work only half-day. It felt so nice to be able to relax and do some personal things in the afternoons. I ran some errands, met with friends, read/wrote a little, and prepared the recipes for the first couple of weeks after the child-birth... Saturday afternoon, I had two brief cramping pains. But other than that, I haven't felt anything yet. I guess we'll shoot for the due date - November 17th!
David planted some honeydew melons back in July. Five of them were pretty big already. But the weather cooled down this week. We were afraid the melons were not going to ripe. Wished we had planted them a couple of months earlier. David also had his dental appointment last Thursday. He liked his new dentist very much. All the staff have morning prayers together everyday before they open the door. After talking for a little while, the hygenist told David that one of our Prestoncrest members Meredith Moore works there. She just had her twins earlier this month! It was a small world!

Emily moves more and more - that type of gentle wiggles. David is such a loving father that he talks to her and touches her all the time. Every time as soon as David put his hand on Emily and talked to her, she would calm down and stop moving, as if she was listening! She would start moving again after David finished talking.
Fang sent us the verse on Eph. 5:15. David was reading Ephesians on Sunday. So I'll pick Eph. 5:15-20 as the verses of the week:
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
