Ultrasound Coming Up

On Monday December 22, Renee and Joel are going in for an ultrasound for Grape Nut. It's a little early (only fifteen weeks along) but Emily's doc in Duluth recommended this for our next child. As you can imagine, this has the temptation to be worrisome. What Emily had, Grape Nut might have too. Or something completely different. So those of you who pray, and those of you who pray for us, please do. The appointment is at 9:45 a.m. and should only take about an hour. I (Renee) will try and update the blog so that you will know as soon as possible. :) Blessings to you! Oh and Merry Christmas!!!

A little under construction

Sorry, I'm redoing our blog. So please be patient while I put the finishing touches on it. :)

Pray for two Runaway Teens

One of my friends has a sister who just ran away with her boyfriend on December 11. For more details please click here on my friend's blog. Perhaps you have seen them?

Visits from Friends

Last week our friends, Joshua and Stephanie, did a babysitting swap so that all of us could go see 'The Wizard of Oz' playing at our local theatre. We watched their kids last weekend, Claire and Sophia. Claire and Joshua played well together:


Then this weekend Ryan (Renee's brother) and Emily came up to visit. That was fun and the kids enjoyed getting to know their aunt and uncle.

Grapenut's First Doctor's Appointment

Today was my (Renee's) first doctor's appt for Grape Nut. I've been kind of anxious about it. But no need! The doc and I heard the heartbeat today!! What a relief! Grape Nut is twelve weeks along now, so the risk of miscarriage is now much lower. An ultrasound is scheduled for Mon Dec 22. It's a little early for a routine ultrasound, but the risks are higher now due to Emily Grace. We will try and find out the sex of the baby, but no guarantees! (Grape Nut might have his legs crossed, or it might be too soon.)
