Resting or Nesting?

First of all, thanks for all the sweet comments about Caleb's pictures. I know that we weren't the only ones who were concerned about the pictures we got of him in July. It is such an answer to prayer to see him look so much more alert and filled out. Thank you to all who continue to lift our little guy up - your prayers are keeping him safe until we can get him home!
I know that Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest but I had a 2 hour block of time this afternoon with Ken home and no other plans. So, I decided to stock my freezer. I know that once we get home, life is going to be hectic, to say the least. I ran to the store and bought 2 chickens, ground beef, sausage, chicken breasts and beef steaks. 2 hours later I have the makings for 9 different meals in my freezer. I'm going to try to do this one more time before we go so that my freezer is full and we won't be eating Chinese takeout every night when we get back!
We also got the crib up! This is at least the 7th time we've put this thing together so it didn't take long. We've put it in the nook in Jacob's room right now - we'll have to see if that works. I've put the motorcycle quilt that my mom made for Caleb on (it isn't easy to find baby quilts that coordinate with Jacob's dirt bike theme....) and will be working on making this little corner all his own. I'll post photos once I'm done.
So today wasn't very restful but it was productive. I'm not happy about the wait but I'm going to try to make the most of my time.
Anyone want to go Christmas shopping?!
