This sermon series about family has been so relevant, applicable, and timely (but also downright scary!) as we get ready to expand ours.

We’ve said it many a time and we’ll continue to say it time and time again… What a body and band of believers to journey life with!

PS: When you see a car seat strangely sitting in the back of your vehicle, it suddenly becomes more real. No turning back now…

Happy Chinese New Year — Xin Nian Kuai Le! Double baby showers this past weekend, double the blessings for our ssssnake baby. :)

We are beyond grateful for the thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity of friends. We’re not big party folks but many, many thanks for the encouragement, advice, prayers and just sweet times of fellowship with us before we become official parents.

Ack, didn’t get to take too many photos but we had to snap a quick one of the cutest cake with bootie cupcakes atop and a baby cake of its own. ;) Gluten-free (for G) and absolutely delish (even Y agreed!).

So the countdown continues…

Packages, boxes and parcels are arriving on our doorstep on a regular basis that you’d think it was Christmas all over again. BABY STUFF. It’s hard to comprehend how something so small requires so much … well, stuff! We kid you not — the UPS man delivers but has now ceased to knock or ring the doorbell. :D

As stork day inches closer, we’re kind of a mix of emotions but overall, thankful and hopeful for this gift of new life that we’ll be “in charge of”. Baby classes are wrapping up. They’ve been long but a wealth of valuable information. And we’ve been tacking on date nights before/after them which has been nice.

Can’t wait to meet you, Ongby (Ong + baby)!
