Surprise!!!

 As you know, we have been sick off and on all year. We have had to miss church five times in the last two months. Yesterday, all of us invalids were laying in various spots in the living room watching the Duggars, when Daddy said for all of us to walk in the kitchen for a minute. I thought, " Well, I guess the kitchen didn't pass inspection, and we need to go clean it up better." However, I was wrong. When we walked in there, Farrah spotted a clue hanging from the ceiling. (Yes, another treasure hunt!) She read it, and it directed us to Captain's cage. We found another clue there, and that led us to the Cassia tree. We ran over, and saw Mama sitting under it. At first I didn't see anything but her, but then I saw a little bow taped on her tummy, and it clicked:  "Mama is expecting a baby!!!" We are all very exited, and all of us hope for twins. She is about six weeks along, and her due date is May 22nd. We were starting to think Russell might be the last one, but God is giving us another! Here are some pictures of Russell when he was a baby. Hope you enjoy!


"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." Psalm 127:3
(Post by Savana.)
Evan claimed Russell as his buddy very soon after he was born.

The morning after his birth, everybody crowded into Mama's and Daddy's bedroom to look at sweet, newborn Russell.

About six months old here, and in the smiley stage!

Russell with Daddy's cap on!

  2. Congratulations!! We're very excited for you all. When I was in labor, I remember Karen mentioning expecting to hear from you any day, that it was about "that time"... and she was right! Too funny :)
    Praying for a healthy and comfortable pregnancy and delivery.
