The Moment You All Have Been Waiting For......

Nope, no baby yet, it still has to cook for a few months!!!!!

Nope, no pictures of Diana's growing belly, Lucky for you Rene!!!

But we do have the results and pics from the ultrasound. We are in Atchison, so they are the good old 2D pictures, no 4D's. But you can see that there is a great side-profile and some cute feet. Please join in our joy and excitement that we have for this new life. Please continue to pray for us and the health of the baby.



This is the side-profile of Little Baby Cassidy as well as the feet!!!

Icicles in the Dark!!!






Break out the candles and fireplaces!! Because after the Ice Storm of 2007 we are still without power. It is Friday Dec. 14th. We lost power around 3:00 a.m. on Dec. 11th in the middle of the ice storm. This occurred when a tree limb fell on our supply line to our house ripping the ground, and line boom from the box. At least 50% of all the limbs on the trees in our yard are now on the ground. We experienced about 3/4-1 inch of ice build up. This ice build up wreaked havoc on most large trees and power poles. We are on about about 1700 homes in Atchison alone without power. With the assistance of FEMA, people are receiving power by the hour, but we are still without this afternoon. We are shooting for Monday, but the energy company told us it could be as long as Dec. 22nd before power is restored.

But don't worry, Mama, baby and I are staying at the FOCUS Green Door Apartment at night and our great friends the Arps (complete with fat cat, Simba) take us in during the day and for meals. It was pretty frustrating at first but now we know there is nothing we can do for now. Just pray and wait for the power companies to get caught up. I have included some pictures of the destruction below

The First Snow!!

Hello All,

We are so excited to say that it has finally snowed here. Yes that is right, Kansas sucks!!! It was the first of December and we still had green grass on the ground. Well this week we got our first good snow and it is finally starting to feel like the Christmas Season!! So now we are joyfully welcoming the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ through his birth. Just wanted to let you all know expect some beautiful pictures of my preganent wife soon. And we will be keeping in touch more now that things are slowing down.

God Bless and Love You All
