Spring Brings New Life......

My dear blogger friends....
I have deeply missed sharing with you for the past couple months. It has been crazy around our house for many different reasons. I'll start with the BIGGEST reason. We are expecting our 4th child on November 9, 2008.......I'll pause a moment so that everyone can take a deep breath and exhale. As many of you know, we (Larry and I) were done having children after our second little boy, then 3 years later we were surprised and blessed with our 3rd son. So to say the least we have NOT been very happy with this latest news. I know what half of you are saying and gasping..."I can't believe that someone would feel that way about a blessing from God!!" Well we are being honest...We KNOW that this baby is a gift from our Heavenly Father and we are going to love him as much as the other three, and he is going to do great things toward the Kingdom of Heaven...Yeah, Yeah, its in our heads and it will eventually get to our hearts. For me, it passes the nausea and STOPS!!! Maybe I'll feel different when I can once again see straight! My family and friends have been very supportive in helping us in many ways. From providing childcare, food and scriptures and promises from God that we can quote when we are not feeling the best. Everyone has been very nice and letting us "muddle" in our stupidity for a while! Larry was out of town last week for the Masters in Augusta, GA. He was the top computer support for the whole week. He had all access pass just like the members. He had the BEST time!!! But most of all, he got rave reviews for the club and his company. They want him back for next year. They said that this was the smoothest year in a long time, thanks to him. He even got to watch Tiger on a few holes, and VJ Sing (sp?) gave him his game ball from Thursday!!! He enjoyed hop knobbing with the big name in golf. Even a hand shake and short conversation with Arnold Palmer!! I'm sure your husbands will be more impressed with this than many of you. Larry is also very busy finishing up a big cabinet job and works long hours into the night trying to make everything perfect. I'll post pics of the final results. We are also very busy with Steven and Carson both playing Spring baseball. This is Carson's first year and he is the cutest ever. Steven has played since he was 4 and is a natural! He has alot of talent and we are very proud of him. The other day Carson asked him if he loved baseball and Steven said "NO, I just like it!!!" He is sooo much like his father! Since Daddy has been to the Masters, the two oldest boys have decided they want golf lessons next. Yeah, right! I have no time as it is (or money)! We have only 20 more school days to finish up!!!!! We will continue to work on things during the summer just at a more relaxed pace. I am very proud of Steven and the things he has learned this year and his ability to retain knowledge. Pray for us as we have decisions regarding next year and two boys in school. (and a baby on the way...HELP!!) The Lord will provide the his grace when needed! Thanks for reading my ramblings and sorry it has been so long. I can't promise that it might take a while f0r another post! We covet your prayers and we accept our new family "picture"!

Love,
Marty
