This lil' poem of mine...

Here's a little poem I wrote recently and sent to my parents and in-laws, they sure seemed to enjoy it so I thought I would share it with you, too. ;)

We couldn’t stand it any longer
We just had to share with you
There’s something wonderful in the works
And it’s almost too good to be true.

You see, we’re bringing you a present,
It’s a surprise for you someday,
You will have to wait a little while,
But it’s already on the way…

It only comes in 2 colors,
It might be PINK, or maybe BLUE,
Only God knows and decides
Hopefully soon He’ll give us a clue.

So when we come to see you next,
We’ll come as a family of 5, not 4,
We’ll be so proud to show you
Your new grandchild to love and adore.

Our growing family
Matt, Heather, Clara, Ethan and tiny tot #3

Bet you didn't see that one comin', huh?! 
I do my best to be sneaky and creative, even from afar.
We are looking forward to welcoming our punkin around 
April 11, 2012.  
We so appreciate your prayers for a smooth pregnancy and delivery and most of a all, a healthy baby.

{Of course, if it were up to Clara & I, we would love for it to be a "girl baby"}

"In My Seat"--An Amazing 9/11 True Story

A beautiful and touching reminder of why we MUST NOT FORGET the events of that fateful day...
and not only simply "Not Forget", but do something with every precious day we are given.

Please, pleeeeease, take a few moments to watch this incredible story and beautiful picture of salvation.


There truly are no words.

God Bless America--I have NOT forgotten.

Icky Sickys and Blogger Blahs

Hello? Anybody still out there?

I know it has been a while, but yes, I am still here.

Unfortunately nothing fun and exciting to report.

Unless you want to hear about the nasty head cold we have been fighting at my house.

Yah, I didn't think so.

I have less than 0% energy and have accomplished a whole lot o' nothin' this week. Ever been there?

Yah, it's really not a fun place to be. Ugh!

I think {pretty please} that we are on the mend. Hoping we can all be well enough to be in church on Sunday. Always throws me WAY off when we aren't there, ya know?!

Plus, it is our pastor and his family's last Sunday with us, well, for the rest of the year. That sounds super weird, huh?! They are headed to the states for a little furlough and are brave enough to leave us in charge.

What are they thinkin'?!!! Muuuuuuaaaaaahhhhh....{evil laugh} j/k Don't mind me, head cold, remember?

So, lots and lots, and LOTS of new responsibilities and projects in the works. My poor little brain is too tired and fuzzy to contemplate them all {or even 1 of them} tonight.

Think my bed is calling my name, again.

Some way to spend a Friday night, huh?! Oh well, there's always tom.

Thanks for "listening" to my ramblings.

I feel better now.

G'night, friends.
