November is finally here and our excitement is growing. In just a matter of days we get to meet Braden. He is busy wiggling and squirming these days, trying his best to keep mommy from sleeping too much. The girls all agreed tonight that mom's tummy is a watermelon. Thanks! They are counting the days till little brother comes.
We have been so blessed in the past few weeks with showers of love from our church family and friends. The Lord has amazed us again and again at providing for seemingly insignificant things that are really so huge in these stressful days of preparation. Housing is coming together for our stay in Seattle. The financial pressures are being eased with amazing programs we never knew existed. In our gratefulness to agencies and individual personnel, we keep coming back to the realization that God is our Source. He can do anything. We know it in our heads and yet when He comes through in these amazing ways, it floors us with humility to think the Maker of the Universe knows and cares about us, His Children.
The teachers at the girls' elementary school have been fabulous, really rallying behind them, making them feel loved and prepared for the long absence. The materials gathered by those teachers will give us the benefit of homeschooling without the hours of prep. The teachers did all the work! God bless them!
The next post will contain news of Braden's arrival. We will keep you up-to-date to the best of our ability and have pictures as soon as possible.

Just want to let you know that our family is praying for your family. We know from experience that even when things look bleak, God always comes through. I've always been comforted by the realization that God loves my children even more than I do, and wants only His best for them. He has covered Braden with His love, and has a perfect plan for him. We love all 6 of you and look forward to meeting Braden. Shelley
