1 in 1000

There is a 1 in 1000 chance of:

  • Catching a foul ball at a MLB game
  • Getting Encephalitis from a case of the Measles if you are not vaccinated
  • Finding a double yolk in your egg
  • Having childhood arthritis
  • Naming all 5 First Amendment freedoms
  • Winning a Canopy Management Group Prize
  • An asteroid will hit the earth in the next century
  • Encountering a malicious website
  • Having a second set of twins in the same family!

Guess which 1 in 1000 we are!

We are expecting our next set of blessings around Christmas time. In the mean time we are exploring a bigger house, a bigger van, and enjoying all the time we get with the three little ones we have.

The message at church this week was fitting for this news. The speaker, Mitch Majeski, encouraged us with the truth that children are gift and blessing from the Lord. Not a burden. We are looking forward to the adventure our life will hold as we welcome our new children. Here's the link if you want to listen to it.

We would appreciate your prayers for:
  • Healthy babies.
  • A full term, healthy pregnancy and easy delivery.
  • Wisdom for our financial decisions.
  • Renters for our townhouse. Do you need a great 3 bedroom with a fenced front & back yard??? Give us a call!
  • That God would provide for our increased living expenses and for debt repayment as we will most likely need a different mini-van and will be needing to find a larger home.
  • That we would appreciate and parent well during the next 6 or 7 months before the babies are born.

For now, here's a cute picture of Rourke, Lydia & Francesca. Enjoy!
