BTW






This is just for our brethren who may have thought we were in labor today due to our church absence. No, we are not; we just went up to Santa Fe to visit Christ Church and eat another celebratory birthday lunch for husband. These photos are proof. You will note in the top one that I am still very, very pregnant. Only Gramps can get photos like these of our baby!

And, BTW, husband is officially defending tomorrow. And we are officially bringing muffins and coffee. And you can officially pray if it crosses your mind. I am so proud of him and I know that he is going to rock the EE hizouse, officially.

And BTW, following the defense is a non-stress test for Elsa. I know I was expecting this, but it still drives me crazy. We had a few exciting nights this week contraction-wise, but obviously, no results. So maybe tomorrow it will happen as planned, right during the Q&A part of the defense.

Wow! And we were getting leaks from the grandparents-connection that y'all were under full sail! Out of the harbor, into the wind, on the open seas....and all that!

Mr J is in our prayers for his defense!

I've been thinking about you and praying for you two all day. Hope the defense went well and that the safe arrival of your wee one is just around the corner! Love to you all.

No, I'm pretty sure that first picture is photoshopped and you're just hiding Elsa from us. Nice try!

We continue to pray for God to strengthen you, give you peace, and provide for all your needs! And we look forward to meeting your little one soon!

Wait! I just realized: I should have been praying that Mrs didn't go into labor during Mr's defense!

Now that would be a story for the grandkids & one for the record books! :)

Hope all is well!
