Briley

On October 24 almost Briley, another little cousin, was born healthy and strong. It is my understanding that all the women in the family got to see her delivery-Stephen and I since it was a Wednesday we couldn't be there. But hey! she is a blessed little girl to have amazing parents for one thing ;-) and two older brothers to look after her. We only have seen pictures of her and she looks simply adorable. We cannot wait to get to hold her.

Maybe A Girl

So I am now 22 weeks pregnant and even though I do not look it as much but definitely can feel the little baby when I wake up in the morning, during the day it will dance with music and even before I close my eyes to sleep and even Stephen is able to feel her. Last night she was moving so much!!!! So why is it maybe a girl you may ask... Because the doctor looked and said: well I don't see anything so I am going to say that it is a girl. Stephen sounded so disappointed that he was not sure (and the doc forgot to give us the pic we asked) so we are going to see the baby again the last Monday of the month!! But the baby was so cute and everything measured well and the characteristic of a baby we saw that made us fall in love was that the baby yawned. It was cute. For me the other part that I recognized was the baby's bottom and legs oh how cute!!! So anyhow more on the baby at the end of the month!!

Reformation

The house is under complete reform...the reform started when we prayed for the home, wrote scripture on the walls and broke bread. Yes the place is reformed spiritually :-) but now is getting a physical reformation. The dining room and music room have floors ready...but still need a little more paint. The living room is done with paint except for some high corners and the floors are waiting to be done. Our bedroom is almost completely done except for the closet which is under process and of coarse the baths. the hallway is practically done flooring speaking and even part of the guest room. Can't paint the guest room though until we fix some of the wall that was vandalized from pulling those huge built ins. Thank God they are out though!!!!!!! Things are progressing rather slowly so keep us in your prayers. By the way if you want the built in we are waiting to give it away...but I don't know for how much longer because I'm getting tired of it blocking our boxes in our garage!!! Anyhow, so we finally have internet so we will keep the updates coming :-)

Here are some pics of the reformation so far

Coming Soon

So our dear friends we have to wait before we can download the photos of the work we are doing to the house...the full transformation photos will take even longer because its a big job!!! But as soon as we have internet we'll show you what we have been working on for the past three weeks and give you our new home address and phone number in which thank God there is not business inquiries but our message is still the same so hang in there with us :-) Love you and update is coming soon

New Home

So we actually did it!!! Everything is going to be getting finalized soon and hopefully we are going to have the keys October 1st. Of coarse once we get those keys it will be super busy so please pray for us and if you are in the area we would love some help :-)

Nathan

As we are writing about the cousins that are being born we want to give little Nathan his rightful place among the new births. Nathan was born Thursday night August 23 and even though he only lived for a short time he will always hold a warm place in our hearts as we were excitedly waiting for him, joining in the anticipation of his dear mom and dad. We believe that it is true that the whole family is looking forward to one day meeting and playing with Nathan in Heaven :-)

Announcement

This past Sunday we brought the family together to celebrate 30 years of marriage of mom and dad, their true anniversary being the next day on the 13th. It was a lot of fun as the whole family joined us at the parent's new abode; all the cousins with their children and/or pregnant bellies and....we were joined by the latest addition to the family little four day old Camden and her brave mom!!! So, we presented a video we made for the parents that highlighted some major events from the time they married to the present and the picture before the last was a sonogram of our 8 week baby in utero (pic below). Needless to say, the response was so overwhelming that I wanted to cry but that did not last long, and instead we all laughed a lot. Later, before the party was over we all got together and all the new parents were prayed for by the elder generations (a blessed time) and then we took a group pic...count the kids!!!! So for some or maybe most of you this is news news...join in our joy!!! :P

2 Months

Today we went to see the doctor early in the morning!!! It is the best time considering that Stephen makes it on his way to work. One thing that I was surprised with these doctor visits is how long they keep you in considering the little time you actually get with the doctor. We were at the doctor's office for 1 1/2 hours and we probably saw the nurse and doctor for about 1/2 hour at the most!!! Oh well if I may say so it was worth the wait to see the baby and to hear the heartbeat...it is so fast that one would think that it was running on a turbo engine :-) That's the update for today
