I’m really enjoying reading all of the comments!  I really hope I can meet those of you who I haven’t met yet!  You’ll all just have to come over and visit– especially when the baby comes…we can have like a diaper-shift rotation or something!  Our close buddies Kerri and Daniel just had a baby 2 months ago, and they’ve been telling us what raising a baby early on is like.  ~ 10 diaper changes a day!!  I couldn’t believe it.  So, you can all come and share in our joy.   

Anyhow, Israel made it back from Spain safely this past Monday.  He’ll be off to S. Africa, though, this coming Wednesday for 3 weeks.  Then I’ll have to take care of our zoo by myself again!  I might have to hire Justin or something.  Anyway, I should get back to lesson planning and correcting papers.  Oh!  An update on the ultra-sound…we scheduled it for this Monday!  Let’s all pray that the baby will be in the right position to tell the sex…
