The JOKES on US




Well, back on August 7th we told you of our new arrival- our little dryer. We thought we'd be cute and make you think it was a new baby. Well, it seems God thought that was a good idea, and He made that happen. Yup, we are pregnant. Heather is due May 11 and is 8 weeks along. So morning/all day sickness is still pretty tough. We plan to find out the sex this time. We didn't know with the 1st and 3rd, and we will know for the 2nd and 4th. Kinda fun! We are excited! We wanted our family and friends to rejoice with us, and they have sooo thank you. Just another proof that lovers of Jesus know who gives life and who opens and closes the womb, and that we have the best family and friends ever! Thanks for your encouragement. The kids know and are very excited for a new baby coming! Josiah still remembers seeing Makinna right after she was born in the hospital. We have found a hospital we like. Our insurance will cover the expenses. The baby will still be American (just born overseas). It involves a little more paperwork, but it's no big deal, and happens all the time over here. Hope you guys all have a super sweet day!

Congratulations! I'm thrilled for you. We just had our third (first boy!) and with each new life, we have found it's true that children are such a precious gift from God. Hope you start feeling better soon, Heather!

Heather,

I'm so excited for you guys. We just had #6 on the 19th. It's good to keep up with you online. I hope you feel better soon. Try to rest (I know that seems hard)

Everyone at SGCC is thrilled with the news and keeps you guys in their prayers. With Paul and Mackenzie, we also love to see pictures of everyone.

We love you guys! It was great talking with you the other day, Brian. We'll continue to keep your family in our prayers.

p.s. We're having a video showing this Sunday from the Alvords--missionaries in Spain. We're looking forward to seeing it. Plus, since this is a "different" sort of service, I've taken this opportunity to have us sing an "Old Time Gospel Hour" hymn marathon! We're going to sing a lot of old Southern Gospel songs that we don't get to sing very often. I hope it's fun...we may never get to do it again! :-)

In reference to your comment "it happens all the time over here", I just wanted to validate that!! Every stateside conference that comes through here at ILC is proof that it happens all the time! I have 8 blessings in my class this time. Congratulations!
