Due the End of August

Well....we have truly been amazed over these last couple years how God has continued to provide for us.  He seems to constantly surprise us with things that exceed our expectations and we have learned to trust in Him even more.  And now, He's done it again.........we are excited to announce that He has decided to bless us with a little one....yes, that's right - WE ARE EXPECTING A BABY!!!!!  I'm pregnant!!!!  We are SO overjoyed!! 

I left my pregnancy tests laying on the counter in the bathroom with this note for Kaleb to find....needless to say, he was pretty excited when he finally walked into the bathroom and found what was waiting for him :) :).

Our nephew, Stetson was the first person we told - he was a good secret keeper ;) haha.
He wasn't quite sure what to do with the information ;)
So, as in most things :), it looks like God had a different plan in mind than we did and we will be taking a new little team member with us to work with Lifelines in Maine.  I'm sure the little guy or gal will love it! :)  We still aren't sure when we will get there (whenever we reach 100% of our monthly support we can report) - but God has always provided for us and we know he will continue to and that we will get there in HIS timing!!  This journey has been pretty incredible so far and we are beyond words excited to have a little one on the way to join us in our adventures!! :)
Me with what little bump I have right now :).  Below is our little miracle!!  He or she was just kicking away when we had this ultrasound done - pretty much the coolest thing EVER to see! ;)
 "For you created my inmost being; 
you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 
your works are wonderful, I know that full well." 
Psalm 139:13-14

  11. Terrific news! Cherish every moment, good and not so good. Remember your sense of humor. Here is a funny book: http://www.amazon.com/Girlfriends-Guide-Pregnancy-everything-doctor/dp/0671524313
    Write everything down and take lots of pictures. I'll be praying for everyone to be healthy. God bless your little one.
