As you can see, it's been a super long time since I have posted. Life is crazy and I just haven't gotten around to the blog (although I stalk blogs all the time). We had a wonderful summer full of family reunions and work and school. We also had a wonderful fall celebrating all of our birthdays, our 2nd anniversary, Thanksgiving with family, and finding out the arrival of baby #2 in May! Of course, the fall then was slightly unenjoyable as we had to deal with the morning sickness and moodiness that comes with pregnancy. But, overall, it was great! We had a wonderful Christmas full of family and blessings. And we have started 2012 off with a bang. I started school again, which I both love and hate. We found out the gender of baby #2. We are having a.....
GIRL!!! We are so excited! I wish I had gotten a picture of Chad's face when the tech gave us the news. We was grinning from ear to ear! He was really hoping for a little girl. And lucky for both of us we don't have to go through the agony of picking out a boy name as we have had our girl name picked out since we found out I was pregnant. Her name will be Hadassah Rose (Hadassah after Esther from the Bible. It was her Hebrew name. Rose is after her lovely mother and great great grandmother) and we are so excited to meet her!
Life is good and we couldn't ask for any better! We are so grateful to be able to give all of our love to our growing family and for the happiness that Jarek and Hadassah have brought into our lives. We have struggled the last little while but have been overcome with the protection and love we have felt from the Lord and are grateful for the things we have learned. We have also been immensely blessed in all of our endeavors and are anxious to see where life takes us. Hopefully I will be better at blogging so you can join us on our adventures!
And now to leave you with this little gem:
