"Daddy." ZZZzzzzzzz.....

Isaiah woke me up this morning by saying that and falling back asleep. He really is such a good little boy. He can be very sweet.

Well... Annalisa's been having contractions since 3:30am this morning...
She was supposed to be induced at 7am this morning so Ethan seems to be embracing the inevitable. We've been embracing it for a few weeks now.

I grew up playing one on one and two on two basketball. So far it's been two on one so I guess it's been a proverbial cakewalk. Two on two. Forever. I'm not as scared this time around, but sometimes I do get hit with extreme bouts of fear for Ethan's health. But what can you do?

Well, you can pray for us! Any thoughts or prayers would be very much appreciated. We truly believe they help.

I used to be sweet at two on two. Probably won't be the same though.

For our wedding, the philosophy was, "Just fill the room with as much love as possible, and see what happens."

I guess we're still just doing that.

God is good.
