Man, life has just been a little crazy lately! Someone rear-ended Josh a couple of weeks ago and it totaled our truck...which leaves us down to one car at the moment :( Thankfully he was unharmed and we weren't in the car but it was still very scary. We had planned on buying a used SUV this month because our little Fiesta is cramped to the max! We get the new car on Monday! Woohoo! So now we are also in the market for a truck so that we can sell our Fiesta. Thank goodness for savings accounts! Our other projects will just have to be put on hold for a while.
We were on our way to Tennessee for our family vacation when we got the call that Josh's dad was in the hospital. We were only half way there and this seemed extremely severe so we headed back to Michigan to check in on him. After a while it seemed the situation was not as bad as we thought, so we headed back to Tennessee. After two days down there, we got called back because Josh's dad was having a very serious heart surgery. The surgery went well but over the last few days he's had another stroke. So please pray for him and his patience and cooperation in the hospital because, let's just say it's not his favorite place to be!
Amelia is doing great! She's pulling up to stand now and we think she may be trying to say the word "dog." She crawls around, is getting into everything and spreads joy everywhere she goes. We think she should be a greeter at church because she waves and smiles at everyone! :)
The new baby is growing quickly! I am 4 1/2 months along now and according to my research, the baby is about the size of a pomegranate! It kicks quite a bit lately. I'm convinced it's a boy, but we'll find out for real in 2 weeks at the ultrasound! I know it was such an adjustment at first, trying to get used to the idea of having two babies only 14 1/2 months apart. Now I am so excited! I'm amazed all over again at the miracle of God growing a baby inside me and choosing us to be it's parents! How cool!
