    Never thought it would happen to me!

    I've been playing phone tag with several of you and wanted to let ya'll know what has my attention at the moment.

    Some of you that have met my oldest on camps know some of our story but, my wife and I tryed for years to have children.(started in 2000) We accepted the fact we couldn't have one biologically and adopted our oldest in 2004. We again expanded our family in 2009 with our youngest going international through China. I now have a 10 and 6 yr old and are now expecting. We thought we were done, but The Man upstairs had other plans. So, on top of everything else, I'm finishing the upstairs of the house we moved into last year. This means I'm haveing to organize my time even better than before. If you've been playing phone tag with me, please don't hesitate to keep calling.

    I'm already dreading the "Christmas rush" but have been thinking about preorders on a few items. I'll make another post on it in a week or so once i see what I need and can do. Brian is still behind on WWM's and Hiker Lites, but I'm pretty caught up on Campers, WW's and Buginators. (If you have one on order it will ship by weeks end if not sooner)
    It'll be alright Friday!

    Our story is not the same but I understand. My son is 10 my daughter is 4. We tried for 3 years, including medical help. Everything short of fertilized egg being implanted. When we stopped trying about a year later my wife got pregnant. Ok so we never stopped trying, but you get what I mean. Good luck and congrats.

    That sounds like a wonderful problem considering where you started from. It took us a long time as well before starting our family.

    Good on you to prepare in advance and offer us the info way before the rush even starts. It shows true character and a great business practice to bring us a little into your personal world that affects your business practice. I hope your so busy(in a good way) that when the time comes, you can afford to take a few weeks and enjoy your newly expanding family.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you

    Congratulations from the child of parents who were told they couldn't have kids!

    My Dad told me that story many times..."You may not have been expected, but you were very much wanted." Always felt special when he said that.

    God Bless!
