Bad news first, and it was BAD. Late afternoon, one of our outdoor cats was hit and killed by a car. A friend around the corner saw him on the road and called us. Lydia bravely went to make sure it was indeed Sunny, and it was. Poor girl. Sunny was a favorite and the older 5 kids were all very sad, as was I. There was plenty of weeping and wailing. Sunny did tend to cross the road often, but we have a quiet road and until today, he was lucky.
The good news, and it is GREAT news, is that some friends of ours had a healthy baby boy yesterday. They lost their first child, a precious little girl, a little more than a year ago. She was stillborn at 38 weeks due to a Trisomy 13 chromosomal disorder. We are so thankful for the blessing of this healthy baby boy, though the last couple of weeks have been emotional as we remember the end of the last pregnancy and all the sorrow associated with A's birth.
Speaking of pregnancy, I am nearing the halfway mark! Monday is 20 weeks and I have an ultrasound that day. Our biggest hope and prayer is that the ultrasound will show a healthy baby. We're hoping also to find out the gender of the baby.

Oh, so exciting! I hope and pray all will be well.
And I love your family picture. I've seen it a few times now, but it gets better each time. :)
