Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I had to take another test today to be sure. What a joy it is to see that little plus sign and know it means another happy face to join us around the dinner table! I shared the good news with my children this evening and they were all so excited. This baby will break the tie of 4 boys~4 girls.

My 3 yo has decided it's her turn to name the baby. She really likes the name of our friend's horse, Brownie, if it's a boy.

We are still exploring our options, but they are very few. We have recently been informed that our septic field is in complete failure....a mere $5,000-$10,000 repair bill. We are wiped out, the fight has left us. It seems God is shutting doors for us so we may be sure of our choices.

Thank you once again for your prayers! Your kind words are invigorating.

Congratulations Maddie!!! You are blessed indeed with this new life, I'll be praying that you will be protected from unkind, unloving comments...how sad for those people who do not know where true love and grace lies.
