Waiting to explode

If you are reading this we have finally decided it was the time to let the world know of the single most incredible news that we have ever had to keep secret. Not that there is a long list of secrets we have kept from everyone, but if there was then this would definitely be the most incredible. But at the time I'm writing this we are cautiously waiting out the first trimester in order to make sure all is well before announcing our amazing new life.

We had a family gathering at Mikey's church the other day with Paula and Jess, Mikey and B, and Paul and Josie and the kids. The sermon was put together by the Youth Ministry Team at CCV and the message was raising the next generation of teens to be a positive dynamic in the spread of the Word and the growth of the church. At first I thought it was not really going to talk to me like some sermons do, but I was wrong. The main theme was that we are all family in Christ and that as such we are all responsible for the actions and teachings we may not even know we are showing to the youth. I figured that since our DeeLeeBob was quite a long ways from the void of reason that we call the teenage years this would not really apply to me. When the pastor pointed out that even if we did not have teenagers of preteens we all affect their view of what being a Christian is. I leaned over to Danielle and whispered in her ear "We are the parents of a pre-teen". Even at this stage in life I realize I should be looking at how we are reflecting Christ so our child sees a good example.

My how time seems to fly. Seems like only yesterday our little one was just 2 cells wrestling to split into 4 and now D-L-B is already a pre-teen.

It makes me think that the next 6 weeks of waiting to announce is gonna fly right by.
