Well, its about time we tell you...


Hey everyone. After 4 wonderful years of marriage, God has decided to bless our family with a new addition! Kristen and I are happy to announce that we are going to have a baby!

Now, I know most of your initial responses...Lane? A Father? No way...but its true! Kristen and I have decided its time for the family to grow. We love our Chloe, but she's a bit too hairy and she licks everything in sight.

Kristen is 9 weeks pregnant, and is due on May 29th. Just in time for camp, Impact, and about a zillion other things that a youth minister is involved in. No worries though...God will take care of us.

We solicit your prayers in all of the times we have ahead of us. Kristen is doing well, with the typical nausea and fatigue that accompanies a human being growing inside you. Yesterday we met with the doctor and we got to hear the heartbeat! Its a strong baby, and Kristen is determined that the child is running a marathon inside her belly.

So, any advice from anyone?

Congratulations, Lane! Kristin told me last night, but I was ordered to be surprised when I heard from you. So, I'm so surprised!! Advice, I can't give much because we don't have babies yet. But I'd say catch up on your sleep now.

Best wishes to you both. I have often thought that having children is the best and worst thing that can happen to us, all wrapped up in a little pink or blue blanket. No seriously, its all good, just a major adjustment. You guys will make great parents.

Congratulations! You have no idea to what extent your life will change, but it's all worth it. They're so much fun!
BTW, your sister is teaching my little one's MDO class and he is in LOVE with her. He actually looks forward to going this year!
Congrats again!
