......THIS JUST IN.......

I received a phone call 30 minutes ago that Mark had landed in Fort Dix New Jersey. I am so excited that I had to share with every one, after all it's only 6:15 am. He will be there for a few days and his tentative date to arrive home is still the 25th. Yeah! it's such a blessing that he is here and heavenly father had answered our prayers. Madeline and I prayed really hard last night that we would here from him soon, because we haven't talked to him in a few days. He called us at 5:30 am to tell us he is state side. This next week is going to be very difficult and I am not sure I can keep it together much longer. We have all experienced the Military and how they work, and waiting is the worst especially when we don't his exact date. Don't forget about his party on the 27th and the out of towners are more than welcome to come, I just assume it might be a far drive. Well that's the latest and I will tell everyone when he arrives at the Armory for his homecomming ceremony. Were in the home strech now!

Against my better judgement..

I went ahead and posted about the baby, taking for granted that I have had three healthy and uneventful pregnancies. The baby miscarried and the docs believe it could have been an ectopic pregnancy. They are just waiting for some more blood work to verify that theory. All is Well, and we will get right back on that horse. Please don't feel sorry for us, I just feel bad that I didn't wait the recommended 3 months to announce and now the reason is staring me right in the face. I feel like a fool for getting so excited but we are just going to keep working on making a healthy baby!

Baby Wims expected (TBA)

Happy Birthday Unabomber!

( I figure one of the Leah's will kill me for posting this picture.)
Happy birthday to my little sister, who turns thirty today. I know it's hard to believe since she still looks 29. I remember coming home late at night from a week of fun in Mexico around New Years 1997, and Leah was in the living room tending little Madison, who had just been born. I remember all the fun we had hiking and camping in the mountains, going to Disneyland and San Diego, and all the fun we had at home when Mom and Dad worked (spaghetti on the ceiling, the clean-up game, etc.). We had a lot of fun! Good times were had by most.
Anyways, happy birthday! Welcome to your thirties!
