Prayer Needs

Hi everybody,

So, we are asking for family and friends to pray for us as we move forward with trying to grow our family. We have been medically cleared to start trying for another baby. In the meantime, we are going to be looking into adoption agencies, and hopefully find one that we feel comfortable with. When we do, we will begin adoption classes. This way, if we can't get pregnant, or something happens when we do, we will still be on the road to getting a baby through adoption. We are giving this to the Lord every day, and we are trusting him with our fears, our future, our joy and our faith through this whole part of our life.

Here are a few specific prayer requests that we have:
1. That we could remain calm and trust in the Lord through all of this.
2. For us to get pregnant and for that baby to NOT have the antigen (this would mean there it would be a normal pregnancy)
3. If the baby DOES have the antigen, pray for no major complications with the pregnancy.
4. We would find an adoption agency that we feel comfortable with, and The Lord would help us financially through that process.

Thanks so much for your prayers and thoughts. We are thankful for all of you, and know that God has used your prayers to bless us!

Mother's Day Gift....SHE NEEDS A NAME!

SO, check out what Hudson and Scott got me for Mother's Day!! It's a way COOL funky plant. It's a ponytail palm tree! Right now it can stay inside for a long time. Eventually, in a year or so, it will get too big for the pot it is in, and will need a bigger pot. It's SOO awesome....and it NEEDS a name! Feel free to add a "slogan" to the name if you feel like it...but a name is good too. We want to have a long list to consider from. So far here are what we have come up with:
"Bathsheeba: The sinful temptation of the King" and "Shakira: Her hair don't lie." Feel free to voice your opinion and/or leave MORE suggestions for names and/or slogans.


Isn't she glamorous?


























Also check out the super sweetness that Hudson and Scott drew for me. Scott had to help Huddy Buddy just a little bit...but he did his part too!
