Hello Blogland!

Well, we here at noelgreen.com sure do like to go a while between posts.  We’re not abandoning  ship; we’ve simply had too much going on!

Our Christmas was wonderful with time here with my family and then Christmas Day with Noel’s family in MO.  Noel’s family is so big that we literally opened presents from 11 in the morning until 6 pm. It was so nice to have time with our families.  It was actually my first Christmas away from my parents in my entire life.  Next year, we will ’swap’ and do Thanksgiving in MO and Chrismas here.

We celebrated the new year with our Bible study group and then had a quiet day at home.  We’re simple folks.

Oh, the new names?

Mommy and Daddy.

That’s me and Noel.  God has been rich and gracious to us and we are more than humbly blessed to say we’re expecting.  The due date is July 28th and we’ve already heard the heartbeat – strong and beautiful.

I’m just over 13 weeks.  In case you think we’re those stalwart types who kept this quiet for this long, we didn’t.  We just didn’t want to blog it until we were in the 2nd trimester.

Now, for the questions . .

No, we’re not finding out what it is.

No, you can’t hear the names.  Seriously.

No, I never threw up.  I wanted to a couple of times, but never did.

No weird cravings yet unless avoiding sweets, coffee (gasp!), and chocolate counts.  All I want is salt, salt, salt.

I might post pictures when I feel like I really ‘look’ pregnant and not just like I ate too much at lunch . . . which I didn’t:).

That’s all for now!  We pray you have had a blessed start to 2009.  Everything we have comes from the Lord.  May we never forget it!
