A New Friend

This summer we have been fortunate enough to meet some new friends. It has been a wonderful summer with our new and old friends. Tonight I want to share with you one special family we have met this summer. Through a friend of Trevor’s we met another family (from St. Cloud) who will be expecting quadruplets in December! They are also having three boys and one girl. Their three boys are identical though! Steph and Bill have visited us once this summer to see what it is like with four little ones and ask questions. We really enjoyed our time with them and hope we are able to help answer as many questions as possible. Trevor and I are excited to meet and share out experience with another family expecting quadruplets. This is the first family of quadruplets we have met (and for Steph and Bill) and we know how much we would have liked meeting someone else in the same situation before our babies were born, so we are happy to share as much as we can (material and knowledge wise).

* On a side note, poor Taylor is getting a very tainted picture of the miracle of life. He may not realize the wonder of a single baby for quite some time being we had four babies at once, Uncle Casey had twins, our close friends had twins a year ago, and now meeting and spending time with Steph and Bill. Multiples will be the norm for him.

Steph and Bill are doing well. They are at 23 weeks right now. She has been experiencing contractions and labor, so she was in the hospital last week until they were able to stop everything but a few contractions a day. Steph is now on bed rest at home until the babies arrive. Hopefully that won”t be for another 5 – 9 weeks. I am sharing their story with you because this is the best way I know how to help them right now, through prayer and asking others to pray. I know the power of prayer and how we would not have had the experience we had during our pregnancy if all of our followers were not praying for us. So, I am asking you if you could add Steph, Bill, and babies to your prayers as well. It worked for us and I am praying it will work for them as well. Thanks and God Bless!
