in NEED of your prayer

Hi Ladies,

I am writing with a heavy heart. Our beautiful baby Evie is not gaining weight as fast as they'd like so, we've been going back and forth to the hospital alot lately. I am SO thankful that my in-laws are here so that I do not have to take Ada with me. It is tiring though but, I understand since she too could have Cystic Fibrosis that they want to be cautious and proactive. The thing is it isn't really urgent it's just b/c of the CF factor that they are having us do all this. The results of the newborn screen should be back this week. I write begging you for prayer as I am struggling to not be anxious and to trust God and His timing, and I am stumbling on my own. Please pray for grace for our family in this time. Also pray that whatever the results that our faith in God and His goodness not waiver. We have such an opportunity in this timie to witness to my unbeliving family and all the doctors and nurses pray that we adorn the Gospel in all we do, "so that in every way we will make the teaching of Christ our Saviour attractive." Titus 2:10

Baby Arrival

It was just hours ago when I asked everyone to give an update on the pregnancies.
Well I have an update.

Markes & Julia had a little girl.



Little Evangeline (ee-van-gel-een)

was born at 7:28 on July 5, 2006. She weighed 6 lbs, 2 oz. and was 18 inches long...

Praise God for His kindness and mercy to them though the whole process and at the gift of this precious little life.

Paused....

Someone asked me if Joined by Grace was dead... My answer was NO!! It is just paused.

I would love an update on our our soon to be Mamas (1st time & veteran) are doing.

We have recently heard from Markes... and No baby yet.. but day.. or week now. I always like to think 2 weeks pass the due date.. this helps the "LET'S SEE THIS BABY ALREADY" feelings. Although it didn't really work well on my last one.. I labored for about 3 weeks with her.

Well girls.. know we are praying for you, your delivery, your baby, your hubby, and for the transistion from 0 to 1 (Kris) & 1 to 2 (Steph & Julia).
