{ Updates }

I know it's been awhile since I posted. We've had a lot happening around here. 

Here's some updates about us. 

First of all We had 7 puppies this last week. They are 5 days old today. Our two dogs are the mother and father, so the puppies are 3/4 border collie and 1/4 golden retriever.They all look like boarder collies. If you want one your going to have to speak up fast I think we only have two left already!!! Which, I have to say is a blessing. I didn't want to have to worry about getting rid of puppies when Jilliann comes. 

That takes me to update # 2. We are busy making sure we are ready for Jilliann's arrival next month. I'm 35 weeks pregnant now. I'm washing clothes and blankets, buying diapers, etc. We can't wait to meet her and hold her. This sweet little girl is growing every day. I can feel it in her movements. In fact, she took out one of my ribs last week! Oh....the things I will have to hold over her head when she's older!!! (jk)

And 3rd, My awesome dad. He has went down hill at a very rapid pace since thanksgiving. Hospice is now coming in and says they think he only has a matter of weeks left. Please pray for us as we walk through this. My dad is literally struggling for every breath he breaths. The pressure and the fluid build up is more than any one should have to bear. He's on a lot of pain killers to make it through each day. It's the hardest thing I've ever done, watching my dad suffer in pain. Even with all his pain he hasn't complained, not even once. He is the strongest man I know. He is also the most unselfish and generous person, he is still checking in on all of us, making sure we are OK.  We are fully trusting in Jesus for all our needs and know he see's the big picture when we don't.  We know God loves us and is taking care of us. Please pray for comfort and peace for my family, but mostly for my dad, Dave, the best dad in the whole world.
