| Last night I thought I would try to read Kaitlyn a bedtime story-one that Aunt Laura brought when she came for a visit. We've read her stories before but she's rarely in the right mood to sit still very long and look at the pictures. I probably read this book to her 5 times and each time she would start to laugh at different times throughout-but usually on the pages that say "Bears Bears Bears Bears Bears". It's so much fun to see her laugh!

| As we've probably mentioned, there are quite a few babies that are being born here at Highfield Oval (the YWAM location we live at) this year. In fact, 4 babies were born within 6 weeks this summer. Below is a photo of the first 5 babies that were born this year that was taken a few weeks ago. Unfortunately all 8 babies that will be born this year won't all be here at the same time, so we got one with the first 5 and will try to photoshop in the next 3.
The twins of our good friends, Cory and Brooke, were born on Monday via c-section. They knew it would be a c-section as of a week ago or two ago when both babies turned to breached position and they had 2 babies in 2 separate sacs that only sharing 1 placenta. On Monday her blood platelet count started to drop rapidly and the wee babies were born, and Brooke is slowly recovering. I type this mostly to ask for prayers for her and the babies-the babies seem to be fine and Brooke is recovering quite well, but it was a pretty touchy situation for awhile from the sounds of it. They should be announcing the names today, but the girls weighed in at 5 lb 5 oz and 5 lb 13 oz. We can't wait to meet them! We can't visit at the hospital right now due to swine flu. One more little girl will be born in the next couple weeks too-girls have certainly outnumbered the boys! Here are a few little photos of those born as of a couple weeks ago...they were all a bit tired so you won't get many smiles! They are in order from oldest to youngest, with the oldest to the left...    And here is the twins!  |

| Happy Birthday Noah! We're so happy you were born 9 years ago. Have a wonderful day!

| Goodness, it feels like there's so much going on, but unfortunately most of it probably shouldn't be posted in a public blog. The DTS is underway and they had a great week in Blackpool (think Las Vegas of England) for a week of evangelism teaching and outreach. I haven't been feeling that well, but after my doctor's appointment yesterday I'm on anti-biotics so I hope all is cleared up soon. Jon was sick last week and still has a bit of a cold but is doing much better. Kaitlyn is doing well.
