INTRODUCING.......

We can finally announce the upcoming adventure in the Griffis household. There is a new baby coming to town on or around November 6th. We have been hiding this secret for about 5 weeks (even from the family) and after yesterday's ultrasound we feel hopeful and confident that things are good and that God will keep this baby of ours safe. So cheers to the new journey of pregnancy and all the pictures that come with it. Your prayers will be MUCH appreciated.
Oh and this is a picture our our sweet pea at 8 weeks 3 days.

Prayer request

This is an email we received from a friend. His surgery is scheduled for today. If you guys could throw up some prayers I know the family would appreciate it and so would we. They have three beautiful children also.
Thanks,

Michelle

I received my results today and the doctors found a second tumor on one of my other parathyroids. I will have to get surgery to remove two of my four parathyroids. I have a consultative appointment with the surgeon next Tuesday morning to set up the actual surgery. I expect I will miss about a week’s worth of work. Of course I am trying to get everything taken care of as soon as possible.

Feel free to pass this information along to whomever you feel would like to pray for us. We appreciate everyone’s prayers as we go through this process.

Thank you,

Shane Tucker

Anniversary gift

Yesterday Stephen was off and we went out and bought an Anniversary Gift for each other .We have been wanting a Video camera for a while know and we finally were able to get it. I love it!! It's so small and cute and it's also a touch screen. Even though our 5 year anniversary is a couple weeks away we thought we would get it now.

Just a quick update

Wow, life is CRAZY! Sorry for the lack of posting. We have been quite busy around here. With a 4 month old, a 5 year old and a 21 month old running around I feel like my life is always busy.
Addyson is growing up so fast. She is SOO smart. We have been working on potty training. she still goes poop in her pants and doesn't tell us when she has to go pee. So it's more of me taking her every 15-30 minutes. Sometimes I get busy and forget then we have to change the pull up. It's soooo much fun. She loves the big toilet and prefers that over her toddler one. Again she just wants to be a big girl.
She has started saying "whoa" and she will say is soo cute! Yesterday she shook her finger at me and went "uhhuhuh". I will try to post a small video of it. I don't know where she got it, I don't think I've ever done that to her. lol
I just can't believe she will be 2 years old in just a couple months. Babies sure do grow up fast!
I am currently on my 8th week of weight watchers, it's either 7 or 8 I can't remember. Anyways I've lost 13 of my 28 pounds....so only 15 more to go. I'm excited. It really does make you feel better about yourself. My goal is to lose it all by May 1st. We will see how that goes. Sometimes I just don't feel motivated but then realize that I really really want to lose this weight. It hasn't been THAT bad though, it just makes me watch what KIND of food enters into this body. Seeing Stephen eat anything and everything and not gain one single pound frustrates me beyond belief....I wish I had that metabolism. Ha
So many things are happening this year...both of my brothers are graduating from college, one in the spring and one in the summer. Then Ryan and Elsa are getting married in September. Not to mention Addyson will be 2 in May and Stephen and I will have our 5th Anniversary 1 month from yesterday.
Well I will update another time....this is all I have time for.

*URGENT PRAYER REQUEST*

Please do some praying.

My sister Kristen's best friend lost one of her little boys today. He was 13 months old. I won't share the details but just pray for the family as they go through this horrible loss. I couldn't imagine losing a child.

Please send your prayers up for Lindsey and Zach and their precious son Jamie who is now in the arms of Jesus.
Pray for peace and for comfort and for God to show himself to both of them in the face of tragedy.

Thank you so much!
