Just wanted to share with all of you that I am pregnant with our 4th baby--now we're officially a big family! I am due in November and we are all very excited. I'm kind of nervous, having lots of "Can I really do this?" kinds of thoughts, so please pray for me to keep believing that God will provide!

Thanks so much for your prayers and inspirational lives!

Dawn
