Clean, baby, clean.



With early pregnancy tiredness resulting in less energy for the momma during the day, our house is in need of some TLC. Thankfully, Nora has stepped up to the plate.

Our Indiana trip

Nora and I had a wonderful time with family in early December. My siblings are better picture-takers than me, so you can check out some pics on their blogs here and here.

Tonight before prayers as we discussed prayer requests and mentioned family members by name, Nora got off the couch and walked over to the computer (which she apparently associates with family as that is when she "sees" them using Skype). It was so cute; we gave in. We called "Paw-paw" (Stephen's dad) first, but got the answering machine. We called my family next and were able to talk to the kids. Nora cried when we said good-bye. It was one of those bittersweet moments in life.

In place of full update





PS: On baby Shipp

The picture below is not our baby, but some random baby found pictured on the internet. Also, the picture is larger than life as a baby at that stage is about the size of a kidney bean :-)

8 weeks


Stephen and I are now the blessed parents of two children. We can't wait to meet baby Shipp 2 in late July 2007. Nora and this one could very possibly share a birthday. And yes, Lord willing, Shipp2 will be born in Scotland.
