More Expected to Come

Our recent months have been fairly busy. I have spent at least five days a week refereeing soccer games for the middle schools and high schools around here. We have decided to put all of the money I make towards vacation. If I only had a better job we could go somewhere exotic. I have recently found out that my brothers both have full time jobs, which means that I am the last in the family to hold down a real job. It is truly a proud moment. I'd like to thank all the examples of laziness and underachievement in my life, especially my dog Bishop, who could have been a show dog if he wasn't a eunuch and a mutt. My parents are so proud!

But I have found a way that my brother cannot compete with me (at least thus far). While my sister has 3 children and was certainly the first to give my parents grandchildren, I have properly and orderly been the second in the family to have a child. And while the job prospects are looking no better for me, the prospects of yet another child are looking up. To tell you the truth, we are 1/3 of the way there. It turns out, unlike my dog, I am not a eunuch. So, for those of you who have been confused by my sharp intellect and delightful will, I am going to spell it out for you. We are pregnant!

There, I've said it. You now know it, because you have read it. Unless you have a temporary loss of short term memory. So, in planning for all scenarios, I will repeat myself' We are pregnant!

God Bless,
Joshua

Fall Farm Festival

We took Serena to the Bob Evans Farm Festival in Ohio last weekend. It was a really pretty day and Serena got to pet her first sheep, horse, and llama. She's not real good at the sheep and horse sound, but she's got the llama down. Oh yeah, we can't forget the Angora Rabbit as well. Nice Bunny!



On the whole it was too old for her and too young for us. But we did run into a couple of groups of friends who took the plunge with us. It was a cheap outing and a nice Saturday drive through the backroads of Ohio. But a couple of years from now, Serena will really enjoy the farm and who knows maybe she will even be a part of the tractor square dance.
