Surprise!

I can finally announce it!

The best Christmas present my whole family got...

Jonathan and Liz gave this to mom and dad when we celebrated Christmas. It is all of our hand prints sewn onto fabric and framed. From right to left there is Jeremy's hand with mine inside; then Caleb's hand with Cristale's, Casen's and there little green hand for Arya who will be joining us in February; then Doug's hand with Sarah's, Marissa's and Madalyn's inside; and then there is Jonathan's hand with Liz's and THEIR own little green hand inside - due sometime this summer! THEY'RE PREGNANT!!!!! They have been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years now. We all know how easy it is to say "if it's meant to be", or "all in God's timing", but we also know how sometimes that is the last thing we want to hear, when our heart is aching and wants something so much. I am so proud of them for not losing hope (although i'm sure they had their moments) and always trusting the Lord, even when understanding was the farthest thing from them. This will either be my 4th niece or 3rd nephew and I just can not wait!!!!!!! :D
Congrats again to my brother and sister-in-law <3
