Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.
~Martin Luther
Happy New Year! May this year be full of joy for each of you. May you find joy in every situation, the happy times and the sad times. That’s my goal for this year, to be joyful.
This morning I woke up wondering if 2010 will be the year Carmen goes to Heaven. We can’t possibly know but we can celebrate this little life while she is with us.

Well, it’s official. Baby Hope will be born in 2010! 
I am having contractions every 10-15 minutes, even on bed rest and Terbutaline. I am still being followed by the home contraction monitoring company so I send in my results twice per day and my nurse calls and tells me what to do. That’s good because, otherwise, we might be running to the hospital every day. I am 34 weeks so we would like Hope to stay in for a few more weeks. We shall see!
Lana,
I’m talking to the Lord about Hope hangin’ around for a few more weeks before being born. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of ya!
Love,
Dad
Carmen is so beautiful! Congratulations on making it to 34 weeks! It won’t be long before Hope is here. Happy New Year! Stephanie, Gabriel and Joseph in NC
LOVE that jacket – she looks precious in it. Praying Hope stays put for a little longer, but thankful you’ve made it to 34 weeks!
Beautiful picture of Carmen!
I love how the ornament on the tree matches Carmen’s outfit! You guys take amazing pictures! My whole family has watched the Dollhouse video and are really impressed!
“Hang in there Hope!”
“Joy” was the word I decided, a few days ago, would be my mantra for the New Year. Prosperity comes next in line
