Sabbath is a difficult commandment to keep.

First, here are a few belly pictures - taken at the end of each month (1-8). 

     

     We had decided that this month was going to be a month of rest. You know, limit our commitments and hole up in the apartment to get ready for a new family member. Spend a little extra time on the ole marriage. But eight days into the month, we have not done too well so far.

     For one, Candace and new baby have four midwives operating out of separate locations , plus a doula and a midwife-in-training (that is 6 people) who all want appointments regularly at this point in the pregnancy. (The big day is about a month from now!)

     Another thing that happened is that Josh and three other artists did all new paintings for an opening last night to a show with the theme of Lent.

So we will try this thing again next week. Sabbath is a difficult commandment to keep.
