Growing by Leaps and Bounds!!

We are very excited to announce that we have a new niece born May 28 and a new nephew born June 8 in our family!!

My brother, his wife and 2 year old son welcomed Amy Caroline into the world on May 28...our first niece!! I'll tell you, I had a blast buying little girl things for her!! Apparently, our sweet little nephew is very protective of his baby sister...as he should be!! That's the way big brothers are supposed to be.

My sister and her husband welcomed William Jack into the world yesterday evening...their first child and our fourth nephew!! They are excited to become parents and are awaiting going home in a few days. Both sets of grandparents saw little Will about an hour after he was born.

We also await the arrival of another niece, but the timing is in God's hands, as my brother-in-law (Cody's brother), sister-in-law and two nephews are going through an adoption process right now! We are so excited to meet her when she comes to the United States.

God is so good!! He is bringing so many blessings of joy into our lives right now. It's amazing to look at family pictures from a year ago and notice how much they have and will change in just a year's time! Congratulations to ALL of our family. We are grateful and thankful that God answered our prayers (and is continuing to listen to them) for healthy mommies and babies throughout the entire process!!

And for a little baby laugh...here was our conversation in the car today:

Me: (as I'm watching a dad push his triplets in a triplet stroller) Oh wow!
J: What?
Me: That daddy was pushing his triplets, that's three babies all born on the same day!
J: There are lots of cows too.
Me: (I simply bust out in laughter!)

Funny thing is, there were no cows around us at the time (although seeing cows on a ten minute drive here is not unusual, as we live in the countryside). Not quite sure what he was thinking about ... just goes to show you how quickly a two-year-old's mind can change subjects!!
