Spring Break Pictures and an Announcement!

First time in the swing! This is so fun!

Well, I better make the announcement first. This is probably not news to most of you, but we are expecting another baby! Haven is going to be a big sister sometime at the end of September! We are very excited and trusting God and His timing! Everything has gone very well so far. I have had 2 ultrasounds and everything looks great. We will hopefully be finding out what "it" is by sometime in May!

We have enjoyed some gorgeous summer weather. I just had to take advantage of it and be outside as much as possible! Chris and Justin were here for Spring Break and we had a GREAT time! It went too fast! Heston and Kelli also came for a couple of days, Sara and JD came down last weekend, and Van and Loretta and the boys dropped by on Saturday. So, we had a busy and very fun week spending time with everyone! This week we are getting back to normal with the weather and not as many people around! I have been cleaning house mostly. Good ole spring cleaning. I'm hoping to be past the yucky, sleepy stage of pregnancy soon, but so far it's hanging on! It hasn't been too bad, though. God is so good and the youth ministry is going very well. We are going to be meeting in an old school on Wednesday nights starting this next Wed. because we are busting out of our little room at church! Most weeks there are about 100! We are looking forward to a very full and exciting spring and summer with graduations, camp, and a missions trip to name a few. There are many challenges, but God is so faithful to remind us to depend completely on Him for everything we need! I just love this time of year as Easter is drawing close! I am reminded of His incredible love for us and hatred for sin and the answer in sacrificing His Only Son on the cross. I am reading the book of John and it is just incredible to me to see Christ's complete obedience to His Father and how He deflected any glory back to Him. It's challenging to remember that we are commanded to do the same!
Well, I better get going, hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Baby's day out! Samantha, Carson, and Haven!

Enjoying the gorgeous weather outside!
