Wow so much has happened in the past month. We get to go to Ohio to visit my family in the first time in 4 years. Plus, it was for fun and not a funeral or someone in the hospital. My parents hosted a wonderful baby shower for us and I really liked seeing all my friends and family support us. Then we find out that our dog who is an equal member of the family has cancer cells in his right front leg. All I can say is WOW...really I am speachless. I am scared and I want everything to be OK and for this cancer to be gone. Tomorrow he is having surgery and I won't be able to do anything.

The day after the news of cancer we find out we are having a supposed girl. They weren't 100%. For as exciting as that is it is hard to get ramped up because of Benji. Soooooo many mixed emotions. Having a baby is exciting, scary, happy, scary, wonderful, and did I mention scary. I know Jenni and I will be OK but what a change to the lifestyle. I have been reading the expectant father book and it is pretty true what we are thinking. Money, education, support, am I going to be a failure? all of those things. How can you not think those things when you go onto any new adventure in life. Jenni and I have always been each others' rock and we make a great team. So, I know God will lead us in the right direction to raise a healthy family.

As I have said these are exciting and scary times. Thank you to all of our family and friends who support us every day. ~ Jon
