After years of anticipation, waiting, hoping, stress, and prayer I'm pleased to announce that our Heavenly Father is sending a beautiful girl to our home. My wife Lynnette is 5 months pregnant and Eden will finally have a sibling.Some of you are aware I'm hosting a tour to China from May 14-24th. Fortunately, our little girl is coming in mid June. We don't want to see this child arrive too early or I'd have to fly home asap!
No one knew about this except for a few family members. We've kept it quiet for 5 months just to make sure the baby didn't go anywhere. Doctors say everything is fine and beautiful! We're thrilled.
Of course, it would be hard to tell that Lynnette is pregnant because she barely shows. If you saw her you'd think she finally picked up a nasty habit of drinking soda all day like her husband. But, it's amazing! There is a very healthy child with a four chamber heart living in her body.
Given our history and my poor health, this event is another wonderful gift from a kind and loving God who answers prayers no matter how long his kids have to wait to get an answer.

Best news of our whole weekend! So.... how will this work for you to be in China a few weeks before baby girl makes her debut? We will cross our fingers that she doesn't come very early!! Do you think our baby boy who will be born a month before her could possibly take her to prom or something? We will start the plans on our end!
