Oh Baby http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/andyknight/~3/JZmmlmQCf60/oh-baby http://www.andyknight.com/article/oh-baby#comments Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:05:05 +0000 Andy http://www.andyknight.com/?p=1752 Tiffany and I are expecting again! Our nice little surprise from the Lord will be here in early February. Out the window is where we get to toss the plans we had for the next few years, but that’s fine with us. We couldn’t be more excited having our world rocked.

“In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps”. Proverbs 16:9

Tiffany has felt pretty lousy the past month, but there’s hope on the horizon as she’s nearing the end of the first trimester. Caleb and Andrew were so happy about the news. Our three children will all be about five years apart, and we know the boys will be be a huge help as our whole family cares for and entertains the baby. As expected, Caleb is asking TONS of biology questions, and I’m quite sure we’ll be getting to THE baby question very soon :)

I don’t write much on the family blog like I used to, but this one was definitely worthy of making the cut.

Caleb and Abby are not only cousins but very close friends. The week before Easter, both chose to trust Christ as their savior. They each came to the decision to follow Christ while in different cities and in different ways.

The day before Easter, Caleb said he wanted to talk to us that night about something. After dinner, he pulled us aside and told us how he’d been thinking for a while about how he’d like to become a Christian. We explained in more detail what it meant. We made sure he believed Jesus died for his sin and rose again. We prayed and led him to confess his need for Jesus to be his savior and to entrust his life to Christ. It was a very cool moment.

Our church allowed Abby’s daddy Chris Trent to baptize the cousins together. Both of Caleb’s grandparents and a great grandparent came into town to watch the baptism and share the day with them. We are so proud of them.

“And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.” – Galatians 3:27 NLT

Tiffany and I had both been a couple of times growing up, but had forgotten most of our earlier experiences, so we were a bit skeptical of how “magical” everyone made it out to be. We were wrong.

Here’s a video montage:

The kids can play in the snow and you can ride tubes down the long hill. This was our first time to go, but it was a lot of fun. Here are a few photos, and you can see more photos in our Flickr photo set

These are the Years

These are the years of stress.
These are the years of mess.
These are the years of boys.
These are the years of joys.
These are the silliness years.
These are the sleeplessness years.
These are the best years of our life.

That sounded like a good idea.

For the past eight years of our parenting career, we’ve been spectators, enjoying our kids costumes but never participating. The boys will definitely remember this more than any other store bought costume. It was so much fun.

Meet the Knight Robots.

for this subject matter:


Machines.
Big, long, clanking,
Booming, speeding.
They work in factories loud.

It’s profound, I know.
