Hi.

I'm so glad you found your way to my little corner of the neighborhood! Pull up a chair and stay, and let's chat about life on the margins and loving Jesus and, obviously, where to find the best cheese dip and most life-changing books. 

Merry Christmas from the Stanley Clan (and an announcement)

Just wanted to pop in for just a minute to wish all of you, our dearest friends and family and strangers-who-are-now-friends, a very merry Christmas. We hope today is full of peace and joy, time with loved ones, and plenty of Christmas goodies. 

Oh and one more thing . . . This.
Yup, the Stanley Clan is about to become a party of five (or way more than that, depending on how many of the kiddos we want to count as family - hint: most of them). For real crazy. Also, Jayci? Slightly sassy these days, but also obviously about to be once again the most amazing big sister.  
I'm pretty sure this exactly sums up how Caden feels about the whole thing. 

Also, I'm super early pregnant, like only 7 weeks along. But I figure once these two know, it's not long before they tell the world anyways. And I'm super-nauseous and miserable, so I'm hoping for prayers from all of you that this might be a much less miserable pregnancy than I had with Caden. Not to mention covering in prayer for this sweet little one to have a healthy and whole heart. 

Ok, now go enjoy your Christmas! Love to all of you.
