The parents are coming... the parents are coming!

Tomorrow is the day my parents are arriving from PA to spend another week with me while my husband traipses off to Cali, yet again. It's actually very great to have them here. They are extremely adept at entertaining Evan, and it's really great for them to get to spend time with him. It doesn't happen nearly enough. For all you grandparents out there who live near their grandkids, please tell my parents, so they will seriously consider moving closer to us! (Did you hear that, Mom?)

Anyway, I just heard from Robin that he is thinking he's getting Evan's cold. Evan has had a mild cold for a few days. I think it's getting better, but it's not quite gone yet. But anyway, Robin is getting that cold. AND he's leaving for San Diego on Wednesday. So, if you think of it, please pray that he would feel better, that he would have a safe trip, and that he makes some good contacts with some writing proposals he is taking with him.

We are also still waiting to hear back about some of the other proposals and offers that are out there on various tables around the country. Prayers for those would be appreciated as well. We're still very much in financial need. It's been over a year and half now since Robin has had steady income, and we're feeling the stress BIG TIME!

On the plus side, we got to go on a date on Friday night. We went out to eat (and I got to hear the plot line of his new book... HA! Take that all you book fans out there!). It was really nice to just have some Robin & Karen time. It's been a LONG LOOOONG time since we last went on a date.

As far as our new little girl goes... she's doing great. Growing as she should. We just had another ultrasound last week and she was very squirmy and flexible. She had her toes at her forehead, bless her little heart. We're at 27 weeks today... the blood pressure was actually better than it had ever been with Evan, so we press on! We can't wait to meet her! The pink clothes are beginning to accumulate!

More photos of Evan soon!
