And one more makes 4

God has blessed us with three little boys. Every day we look around and remind ourselves of how richly we are blessed. A couple of months ago we found out that Amanda is pregnant again and is due on July 21. The boys are all excited (to varying degrees). Ben has said that he wants it to be a girl so that "when she is older we can have a sister." Caleb is in denial (he is still wondering when Matthew is going away.) Matthew has no idea what is coming. He is very attached to both of us and gets pretty upset whenever we leave. I don't think he'll be real happy about sharing the limelight. Such is life. This is how God teaches all of us and makes us more like his son. Amanda and I are very excited. Amanda has been to the doctor and every thing is going well. She is feeling good. She's tired, but that may be just the side effects of having three crazies around the house.

As we celebrate this news, we seek to always be cognizant of how rare this is and what a gift it is. We know so many friends and family who have struggled through infertility, miscarriages, loneliness in singleness and a myriad of other pains. Please join us in our celebration as we seek to join those who struggle in their grief. Thanks for reading.

Romans 12:15
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
