So Close!

I guess this phrase applies to several aspects of our lives right now! October's fires came so close to our home and burned so many in our neighborhood. We are so thankful to have been protected from them. Here are some photos of our evacuation. The winds were so intense, it is no wonder the fire spread so rapidly and haphazardly.





Returning home four days later. Difficult to tell from these photos, but those hillsides are all burned.




The view from our bedroom window. The fire came right up through the canyon behind our home. Many of you watched the apartment complex right across from our backyard burn on television. Thank goodness for the HOA maintained iceplant and the unknown heroes (cops, we believe) who used all of the neighborhood garden hoses to keep the flames away from our homes.



But, looking forward, we are so close to having this baby!!!! We can't believe that in a few short days the wait will be over and we'll be holding our precious daughter in our arms. We saw the doctor yesterday and according to him, she's dropping and I'm dilating- so we are on our way! Please pray for a smooth delivery without complication according to His perfect timing.
We see the doctor again Monday so we'll keep you posted!
