Shopping for the Girls.............

I had a very exciting day! I spent almost all day shopping for my two granddaughters. Yes, Dan and Krisha found out this morning that God has blessed us with two little girls! We are thrilled!!! I don't think that I purchased enough to get the country out of the recession, but I helped! Ha.

Received a good report from the doctor. Both girls are weighing in at about a 1/2 pound each, heart chambers look great, and so do all their other parts.

Please continue to keep our little girls in your prayers!!!!

Tears of Joy.............

"Your hands made me and formed me..." Psalm 119:73

It is going to be a LONG wait until June 15, 2009! I started crying the moment Dan and Krisha told us the news, and have cried many tears of joy since that wonderful day.

While Krisha and I were shopping at Persnickety in Fayette on Friday (a cute gift, assessories and floral shop), I became "over joyed" with tears as we browsed through the many beautiful items for babies.

One item in particular caught my eye, it was a white receiving gown with the above footprints and Bible verse on it. However, the shop only had one ...and we need two of everything! I do not care if it is two pink items, two blue items or one of each! Those two babies are already a HUGE part of our family!

Please continue to say a special prayer for the babies and for Krisha. She is still experiencing a lot of nausea.

First Glimpse

We treasure this first glimpse of you,

the amazing miracle of life is true.

So small, yet awesome in what you’ll become.

Grow strong and healthy, our little ones.

We are here, dreaming and waiting, wishing, preparing, anticipating,

Each day is a step closer to life anew, each day a touch closer to holding you.

Finally, we can share the news...........

I'm sure many of you have been wondering what the situation was that Jim and I have been praying so much about, finally we can share the news! Dan and Krisha are expecting!!!!!! YES, Jim and I are going to be grandparents!!!!

Dan and Krisha went today for their first ultrasound and to hear the baby's heatbeat for the first time.

I'm sure most people get tired of seeing these ultrasound photos that really don't show you anything other than what looks to be a butterbean....WELL, this isn't just any butterbean, this is OUR butterbean!



AND, in fact, it isn't just one
butterbean
it is TWO!
YES, TWINS!!!!









We are so thrilled.
When Krisha called today
I said , "Wasn't it the most beautiful thing in the world to hear it's heatbeat for the first time!"
and her reply was, "You mean THEIR heatbeats." God is wonderful, isn't he! Please pray with us that things will continue to progress as they should and that Krisha will not be sick. She has really been suffering with morning sickness......that last all day.

The babies are due June 15, 2009.

"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him." (I Samuel 1:27)
