Need A Name!

Earlier this month, we said goodbye to a family friend ... the red suburban. Indeed this car has been through over 250,000 miles of family fun and memories. The suburban, otherwise known as Big Red or The Beast, will be missed - at least it's 4-wheel drive abilities and "more power" feeling will be missed.

Now, we need help with a name for our new vehicle. Introducing: The blue 15 passenger Ford F350 van!

When J1 first saw it, all she could say was, "WOW! It's big and it's BLUE!" J2's reactions was, "Holy smokes, it's a whale!" Any good nickname suggestions?

Sshh!! I'm on the phone!!

Real phone or not, I guess I was disturbing her while she was talking to her friend.

Counting the Days

Yeah, yeah ... I know. I said I was done after #6. And I was. I gave away all my maternity clothes and most all of the baby bottles, toys, clothes, etc. I only kept a few things that were given to us for each child. I felt complete and I was really happy with the way our family was.

Then about a year ago, I started getting this feeling that we were not done - another child was waiting to come to our family. I was hoping that it was just the feelings that come with moving into another stage of life - after all A2 was turning 4 in July and wasn't a baby anymore. I ignored it until March when I just couldn't get the thought out of my mind and I shared my feelings with Don. After much prayer and pondering, we decided to follow the prompting.

We are looking forward to welcoming our new baby in June!!
