Mobile Shower

Well its official, we can take the baby home when he gets here. And we can dress him and diaper him for quite a while. Among the many gifts that we received we got the car seat/stroller combo and a whole bunch of CUTE clothes and diapers and other things. Huge thanks to all of the families that blessed us from this shower in Ohio. It was great to have Clayton's Grandma and Aunt here this weekend. They brought all the stuff and left us with a freezer full of food. I cannot believe how blessed we are. It is clear that this little guy is going to be loved by so many people around the globe.

Speaking of around the globe, my dad is currently on a trip to hike up to base camp of Mt. Everest. He was asked by a friend of his to make the trip to reflect on leadership, life and a bunch of other things. I heard via my mother that several of the men were taken back down the mountain due to illness. Unfortunately, one day away from base camp (their summit) my dad was forced to turn back due to illness. Although he did not get as far as he had hoped, I am still very proud of him. I can't wait to hear all that my dad has learned and discovered about himself and life in general. My prayer is that he will get well and that he will arrive back safe and sound.
More can be read about them on their Everest blog. They are currently not able to post new info but should be posting new stuff soon.

Angela is continuing her daily trip from the bed to the couch. She has taken up several craft projects and is having a ball. She would definitely love to get an email or visit from folks during this time of bedrest. She has also signed up for a Netflix account. That will hopefully help pass the time. Currently she is about 33 weeks along and the doctors want us to get to at least 36 weeks before they are even ready to think about the baby coming out. We will know more after our appointment on Wednesday.

Our hearts also go out to my brother in Tampa and the rest of the state of Florida that are about to get blasted by Hurricane Wilma. Take care of yourselves!

  • What did the doc have to say? Bummer your dad had to turn back. Does he know if it was altitude or dysyntery?
