Jamie, thank you for that post. I am so glad you are enjoying that study. Looks like it will be a faith challenging study for you as it was for me too!
Well girls, we have been busy little bees around here! Megumi is doing very well, still loves to eat (except green beans... she actually gags!), and loves to play. She's not yet crawling but I'm VERY ok with this and don't really encourage her to move. I know she will figure it all out on her own, and then i will be chasing her around constantly. I'm just not ready for that yet :)
I'm still working part time for the same company, and have taken on an additional project for Chris' company too. So, when I'm not playing with Meg, doing laundry, or sweeping dog hair from the floors, i'm busy working. My mother in law is a teacher and therefore done with school for the summer. She is helping watch Megumi some days so i can work and we can get caught up on some financial planning. Only one more year until she retires, and i'm as excited as she is i think!
Meg nd I just got back from a week in Texas, where we visited my sister. We had a lot of fun and Meg got to be in a swimming pool for the first time. She liked it, especially when one of the other kids splashed her.
The next bit of information i'm going to share is difficult to share... because there's no easy way to say it, and no way to say it without it being a shock. 3 weeks ago, I had a mis-carriage. I was 5 weeks along. We were "trying" at this point and got pregnant right away again. it just so happened that i was on the worship team that weekend, so was surrounded in prayer. Despite all the sadness we have experienced through this, we have had so much peace... the peace that comes from knowing God is sovereign and His plan is bigger and better for us than we could ever plan or imagine. I actually learned that lesson while i was going through Beth Moore's "Believing God" study, for a purpose that God had already planned out!
We are praising God, because of who He is, and because we are being held in His hands.
Miss you all so much. Megumi sends her love! I'll be posting on our blog soon with some pictures so you will have to check it out! Some people tell me now that she is starting to look a little like me for a change.

Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that you have also experienced a miscarriage. I'm praying peace and comfort for you guys. When I had my miscarriage at 5 weeks I found a huge sense of peace and gratitude at watching Seth and Lilah and knowing that we had been blessed despite our loss. I hope Megumi continues to be a source of joy for you during this tough time. Much love!
