It just occured to me.....

After our recent trip to Michigan it occurred to me that I never updated about my brother-in-law and his wife. If you recall, it was about a year ago that I posted a prayer request for my brother-in-law and his family. I would simply link to this post, but since I am computer ...ummmmm...challenged (dumb), I don't know how. I'll try to be brief.

There was a court case regarding their insurance policy coverage when their barn burned down. This case was settled out of court just this past September. They didn't get the full amount that I feel they were entitled to, but they did get some compensation. Answer to prayer.

Also, in the last year and a half ,in the midst of the court "battle", they suffered the loss of a baby girl (stillborn at 4 and a half months) and then 9 months later, a miscarriage. They were heartbroken.

When they found out that they were expecting again late this summer, they were incredibly excited as well as a little nervous. When it came time for the ultrasound they found out they were having TWINS!!!! Another big answer to prayer. They weren't praying for twins, but were thrilled to get an unexpected blessing.

The twins are girls and I have officially named them Gertrude and Bertha, Gertie and Bertie for short. Mom and Dad are having a hard time agreeing on names so I took the burden away from them. Thoughtful, huh? They like unusual names. Anybody have better suggestions?

So, I want to thank all of you that prayed for this family about a year ago. God heard and answered.

P.S. Amy, you may remember Leslie Toler from college. She's married to Shannon's brother, Shane. This is the family to whom I am referring.....just in case you were curious. :)
