WHAT'S NEW?!!

It has taken me awhile to blog, and I've got lots to tell! The first and most important thing is that besides the fact that we're going to be grandparents for our first time - Jen came over on Valentine's day & showed us her ultrasound DVD and she's expecting TWINS!! She also gave us a beautiful frame with the 2 babies individual photos and a photo of them together. The frame says: "A family just isn't complete WITHOUT grandparents". I was completely shocked, delighted, overwhelmed, laughing & crying at the same time, when I watched the ultrasound and realized there were 2 babies - what a blessing & miracle!! Jen & Shaun have known all along that they were having twins, but were advised by the fertility doctor that until the 10 week mark, one of the babies may "drop away" or get "reabsorbed" (a strange phenomenom!) so they decided to wait & tell us until after that time - we are soooo happy & excited about this good news and are so thankful for the sacrifices Jen & Shaun have made and for their willingness to go through so much, as far as tests, procedures, fertility treatments, and time and money, so they can have children - and we give praise to Heavenly Father for these sweet babies that will be a part of our family in just a few months...we have truly been blessed!! Another thing that's happened over the past couple of weeks is that I've been exercising more regularly and eating less chocolate (SHOCK!!), and have lost 2 lbs. so far - I'm trying to learn from watching "America's Biggest Loser" and hoping to continue eating better, exercising more, and feeling better...and losing weight!
