"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

We are still here


This is the newest addition to our family!!!!! We are three months along and so happy! (Although the more I remember of when Grace was a newborn, I get a little bit scared!) In the second picture the doctor zoomed in a little and told us he had suspicions that we were going to have a boy, so we are calling him a boy, little brother etc. (He is better than It) We are due March 1, 2009. The timing is perfect the more I have thought of it. Next summer we are moving to Moscow and if he was any later I'd either have a brand newborn while trying to pack, or be 7-9 months pregnant! We are thanking our Heavenly Father for this timing :) After that news, the rest of the pictures are not as exciting, but, take a look anyway :)




I post the pictures of Grace eating spaghetti because I want to illustrate her cleanliness when it comes to eating. Some of you may remember back to her birthday and how she didn't even touch her cupcake so no wonderful pictures for us. Well, here is another example of how NOT messy she is :)



These two are of Grace loving her fish, Ernie, who has passed from this life. I will spare you the details but Grant had a funeral for him yesterday afternoon. Last night Grace and I went to her cousin's (on Grant's side) birthday party and upon hearing the news, her aunt donated 4 pineapple fish to our cause. They are very tiny, I don't know if you will even be able to see them in the picture. That is all for now!
