Family Update

Look at my new trick!

Isn't he so precious (above and below)!

I have no idea what he is doing in the picture below!

I think he's just "hamming it up" like he always does.

I was trying to buy a plane ticket and when I turned

around Payton had gotten into Jonathan's flight bag

and was saying "dadada" while reading his helicopter book.

Well here is the most recent update from our family.

Jonathan finished his last night flights and has two more

day flights to complete before we leave NC.

Our movers are scheduled to come on the 27th and 28th

and we're planning on staying at the BOQ

until Payton and I fly to TX on March 1st.

We're very excited about HI but as with

every good thing there are a few downsides.

This weekend is our last with General before he

goes to live with another family in NC on Monday.

We're confident he'll be happy as they have two

little boys, a 7 year old and a 19 month old,

and they live very close to the ocean!

I don't know what it's going to be like without a pet but

hopefully I'll stay plenty busy with two babies

while Jonathan is gone from HI.

Over the next 2 months please pray for safe travel

for all of us, as well as a smooth transition to HI.

Housing in HI is a little bit of a hit or miss so we're praying

God will prepare a place just perfect for us when we get there.

I am doing much better now with being pregnant.

The beginning was a little bit exhausting

chasing Payton around while feeling awful.

I'm 13 weeks today and really looking forward to the

next month or so when we will be able to find out if

we're having another boy or our first baby girl.

We have a couple of names picked out.

Ava Leilani for a girl and Sawyer for a boy.

We're still unsure of Sawyer's middle name but I sort of like Jacob.

Jonathan hasn't said much about it

though so I don't know what that means.

I hope you enjoy the update as well as the pictures.

We'll only have the internet for one more week so get back

to us with an update on how you are doing very soon!

We would love to hear from you.

Take care!

P.S. Courtney, do you like Payton's outfit?!

A New Little Someone in the New Year!

Say "Hello" to our newest addition!

We found out we were expecting just before Christmas and

had our first ultrasound yesterday, on Jonathan's birthday!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We had originally thought I was 10 weeks pregnant but

the ultrasound showed the baby to be 8 weeks along.

This moves my due date to August 23rd,

one day before my Dad's birthday!

Maybe we'll have a good birthday present for Papa Russ too!

We'll be taking suggestions for GIRL NAMES!

For some reason we don't have any trouble with boys

but are completely stumped with girls.

Please feel free to leave your comments and if

we choose your suggestion we might even have a reward!

Please pray for the health of the baby and for

energy and patience for me as I take care of Payton.

He's full of energy right now and busy, busy.

Pray for Jonathan as well as he has the pleasure of

caring for his pregnant wife, again.

He helps me out so much but I

know it's exhausting for him too.

Also, check out the Emerine's blog for some big news as well!

Remember Caleb and Payton were

born on the same day in November!
