WayfaringStrangers

Emily is here for the week! Today we went to church and later hiked for a while. It's so nice to have her around! Behn now has 3 Cathey girls in his house (well, 2 Traders and 1 Cathey, but you know what I mean) and we are all having a blast spending time together. Fun times!

Today Behn and I went to a community festival in town that we went to one year ago. My, how much has changed in a year! We ran into several people that we knew (last year we didn't know anyone ). Last year I didn't have a job, we lived in a different house, Behn wasn't in grad school, and we weren't having a baby. It's been a good, but busy and challenging first year in Lexington. It's been a busy summer. Ukraine, lots of visitors, a little trip here and there, plus busy with work. Mom and Dad Trader came to help us move a few weeks ago. They were SO helpful! Last weekend Matt and Rachael were here. We had a great time showing them Lexington and the mountains and just hanging out together. And now Emily is here for a week to spend time with us. It's wonderful that we now have extra space for visitors to enjoy when they come visit. I'll post pictures of the house when we have it all pretty and unpacked. It's a work in progress...

I am 20 weeks pregnant today, which (supposedly) means I'm about 1/2 through my pregnancy! My appetite is really increasing and the baby is growing. Next week we'll know for sure if this little person is a boy or a girl! Also, we're moving to a new rental. We are going to be living in a beautiful little Cape Cod out in the country. It's perfectly positioned between Buena Vista and Lexington and it is so adorable. We needed a bigger place for the baby and all the company I'm sure we will be having, and also now Hannah (who moved here in June) has her own bedroom and bathroom. Praise God for providing for our every need.
