No this is no joke…we found out today that Denise is pregnant…we are going to have a baby!!! God gets all of the glory…the doctors told us we’d never be able to have a baby at our age…but God wasn’t listening. Words cannot express the flood of emotions I am feeling tonight…I have laughed…and cried…and prayed…a lot. Denise is about five weeks along…it’s going to be an AMAZING December!!!

    Very Cool. The GREAT Physician said YES !

    We have our first… Carson Jacob on the way in late July/early August. I am totally humbled and know that I will have to trust Jesus like NEVER before. We have had a rough last year or so… lost everything we had, He’s giving us back all and more, now a Son. He is faithful.

    Congratulations!

    Congrats! I have a girl that turns three May 10th, and my wife is having a c-section (our second girl) next Tuesday. May will be a month of birthdays for us. Congrats again. And may december come soon for you and your wife! I have little patience, so this waiting period is really hard for me!
