God Is Gracious. Our sweet Johanna is going to be baptized today! What a special thing to celebrate.

Unfortunately little one has a touch of the croup big brother and big sister had…and Mommy is sick too. I’m praying it stays mild for Johanna. I’m already feeling better than I was yesterday. So hopefully it goes quickly for her too.

This week will be much busier than I would like. We have little one’s 2 month check up, Kindermusik, speech therapy, dance, parent teacher conferences, Daddy’s work trick-or-treating and regular trick-or-treating. Plus our party today.

I also have a ton of things I want to be doing in the kitchen! We just got a big load of apples, so it’s time to start making and canning applesauce. I also have more squash to roast. I want to make my weekly batch of broth. And I have a lot of baking projects I’ve been anxious to get to.

We’ll see how much, if any, of those things gets done. It depends how much energy I have and if this sickness is short lived.

If you haven’t entered the Earthpaste giveaway yet, today is your last chance!
