Interruption from Flordia pictures...

with an important announcement.  What do you think it's going to be?  Well, it in fact is the news that we are expanding our family to 6 (maybe 7- you never know).  I bet you weren't expecting that announcement, well, neither were we.  Yes, God surprised us with a little partner in crime for Ada.  These two are going to be 12 months apart- yes, I'll repeat that- 12 months apart!  That puts me almost outside of my first trimester.  We have a crazy forecast ahead of us, but we are grateful and know that God knows.  As far as how I'm feeling, I'm feeling ok, pretty good.  I had two weeks that were a little brutal, and now am a bit tired with some back problems- but it could be a lot worse.  It is a little daunting to think about all the things to come (packing, moving, church planting...), but like I said God knows.  And we really are so excited that Ada can have a little friend.  So, there ya have it- ta da!

Wow, Shannon. Seems like that's all there is to say...! I thought it was crazy when my friend who has an 8 month old just got pregnant again. Praise the Lord for His strange, mysterious, and unpredictable plans. I hope this pregnancy is an EASY one in terms of sickness and energy since you are already so busy with your little ones.

Ta Da is right! Congratulations. And what a beautiful attitude amidst this world that does not value these little ones very much... God knows.

I had a dream last night that doctors were going to implant our new little one in me so I could deliver her but as they were going to do it they did an ultrasound and found out I was already pregnant. In my dream I wasn't too pleased to find out I was going to have 2 - 9 months apart. It was funny.

CONGRATS! I wanted to say congrats when you put it on my blog, but I didn't know if I should! WOW! I'm sure it was news that rocked your world, but God has a way of doing that. Glad you're feeling good.

I was just talking to Sandy and she thinks it was a mistake to put "maybe 7, you never know". Don't forget - God likes a good laugh.
