Jon & Kate  =)

I haven't emailed before, but just wanted to say thanks for allowing us to get to know your family.  It may have started out as a way to curb America's curiosity and "peek through your windows" as you say, but now it just seems like getting back together with friends when I see a new episode.  I only wish we were neighbors...I'd be there in a heartbeat to help out! =)  All your kids are just adorable and will have so many opportunities open up because of your willingness to share them with all of us...people you've never met but have come to love your family!   I taught Jr. High and Sr. High for 12 years.  The majority of the classes I taught were about Early Human Development (conception to birth), Child Development and Health.  I applaud your efforts to create healthy meals using organic foods and keeping routines consistent.  Many parents of only one child have difficulty with this which becomes blatantly evident when those children grow up and go to school!    I now get to be at home with my 2 1/2 year old daughter, Kaitlyn.  After almost 10 years of infertility God answered our prayers when one of my previous students came to talk to me on my lunch.  She had graduated the year before and was 5 months pregnant.  I thought she had come for counseling (as I had done so many times before), but she actually said my husband and I were her first choice to adopt her baby!  We stood in amazement at how God orchestrated all of it...I'm giving just the basics, but you really see the miracle of it all when you hear the fully story! =)  We are looking to adopt again and are trusting in God for the finances...especially since I have been praying for twins! =)  I've always had a desire to have them since my Mom had 2 sets of them in her Kindergarten classroom one  year.  I was in 5th grade then and always would go to her room to help out!

God bless your family, you are in our prayers! =)
