So we got a new camera and have been snapping pictures to send off to family for the past week. We took a set of pictures to show how big Ellynn’s belly is getting and it was a picture she actually liked so I think I’m safe in posting it to the blog so you can see what she looks like. The baby is plenty healthy and strong, he spends a good portion of his day kicking away and making Ellynn’s stomach look like a scene right out of “Alien”. With just under 2 months to go we’re sure the belly’s gonna just keep growing…

"In the private sanctuary of one's own conscience lies that spirit, that determination to cast off the old person and to measure up to the stature of true potential. In this spirit, we again issue that heartfelt invitation: Come back. We reach out to you in the pure love of Christ and express our desire to assist you and to welcome you into full fellowship. To those who are wounded in spirit or who are struggling and fearful, we say, Let us lift you and cheer you and calm your fears. Take literally the Lord's invitation, 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light' (Matthew 11:28, 30)."
