As most of you know via our newsletter, and facebook, we are expecting our 5th little blessing around June 2nd sometime... We appreciate more than ever the congratulations, the excitement, and the prayers. We haven't received one negative comment, such as "are you guys gonna be done after this one? Or, don't you know how that happens? Or, you guys should get a tv, or are you guys crazy?? " We don't know if we are done after this one, we do know how this happens, we do have a tv, and I don't think we are crazy... well maybe BJ a little, but not me. ;) These used to upset me more than they do now, I think they are almost comical now, but I still have my weak moments, where they do bother me, and it does hurt. We consider each of our children a blessing, and have chosen to be obedient to God and His plan for our family. We do not believe in medical birth control, not because of our faith, or religion, but because of the strong abortive properties in most medical birth control, we had considered other barrier methods until God got ahold of both BJ's heart, and mine seperately and through scripture, and asked us to be obedient to let Him determine our family size. We spend much time in prayer after each child and we feel confident that the One who called us, will be faithful to let us know if we are done having children.
One more sick! Ella has seemed to avoid the sickness that has plagued the rest of us... She is our strong trooper, she had a cough but has seemed to avoid the snotty nose and crankiness, so far...
Our sunday morning didn't include going to church, which makes us sad, but we would rather heal then spread our germs to others. Its no fun... our sunday morning did include a split lip and alot of blood. Our kiddos are crazy and were playing hide and go seek, brody came charging out of his hiding spot in the closet right onto his face. Seriously the face bleeds alot! He tore( again!) the little piece of skin that connects your top lip to your gums....Lots of tears, ice, and tylenol and he's running around again... Please pray for our sick household.. we feel like hermits and are itching to get out, pray for me as I have zero energy, this cold is kicking my butt and ligering forever! Im very limited in what I can take, and I don't have my super supplements to get my natural remedies. :) I still cant figure out why we can't upload pictures to our blog, but can upload them to email and facebook?? Anyone have a clue.. we have fast internet, and yet nothing?
I will send them in the next newsletter.. also we want to thank those that have sent us mail! Our kids have loved it, I don't think I ever see them as excited as when the mail man comes to our door. For those of you wondering what you can send, we have received a postcard, a card envelope, a regular legal letter envelope, a small yellow manilla envelope 3X5, we have also received a 8X11 envelope! Our kids have received stickers(which they love and burn through quickly) and glow sticks, and capsules that turn into sponges, and thin paper childrens books, this was a HUGE hit as they love getting read new books, oh and a birthday card for London that she could color! so fun! Other things we would love is craft stuff from the dollar tree, pompoms, colored popsicle sticks, googly eyes, glitter glue, whatever you would feel led to send, we will find a craft project for!
Thank you for all the letters, the facebook comments, the messages... We appreciate each and every one, and we feel so supported when that happens. Thanks again
