Lest There Be Any Confusion...

Recently, some of may have noticed  comments on our blog from friends and family pertaining to Shari's pregnancy that are, how do I put it, incredible and OUTRAGEOUS! And so, at the request of my dear wife, I am posting to dispel any rumors you may have heard. Shari and I ARE in fact expecting TWINS and are VERY excited to share the news with all of you!

We are both also very impressed by the speed at which the news has been spread by both sides of the family. Shari needed only call both of our mothers and, in a matter of just a few short hours, the news had come full circle in the form of emails, phone calls, and blog comments. We count ourselves blessed to expect and welcome into our home not one, but TWO of our Heavenly Father's choice spirits into our growing family. We will continue to post and update you all on Shari and The Twins' status and progress and we look forward to any advice, support, and encouragement from all of you as we prepare to triple the population of children in our household.

Shari and Lilli have returned safely from their vacation in Wyoming/Washington and I look forward to reuniting with them at the end of this next week. It has been a long six weeks away and I am ready to be back home. I will be taking a couple weeks off from work when I get back to spend time with my girls and hope to do some traveling around the local area and have some fun. I look forward to seeing everybody again!

Congrats on the news!! That is nuts!! Your mom told me the other day and I couldn't believe it. That's awesome. I thought I was busy mom, but I think after the twins are born, you might just have me beat!!:)

Don't worry about not being able to get together while you were here. I totally understand the pregnancy sickness. And no wonder you have been so sick, with two babies!! Anyway, I'm glad I ran into ya a couple of times and take care of yourself and those babies!!:)
