A Little Something Else Going On...

Well, as some of you know, we have a little something else going on in our lives right now.

Now that our boys have their visas, we are comfortable sharing some other news:

We are expecting a baby!

8 days ago!!

That's right, I'm currently 8 days overdue with another son, Tristan Elliott.

In fact, I'm writing this post from the hospital. I came in this evening to be prepared for an induction in the morning, however I appear to be in labor on my own.

God's timing in this is hilarious and, truly, only He could have orchestrated it like this.

So, once we have this baby we will be able to complete our travel plans to go and get Noah and Samuel in Haiti.

We ask for your prayers for a safe delivery, and specifically that I don't need to have a c-section.

Of course we will update the blog when Tristan arrives.

Thanks for all the love, support, encouragement, and prayers!
