Strunk News......

So, as you might be able to tell by looking at my side bar........We are expecting!! God willing, number six will be here sometime in mid November. We are still at the beginning but Joshua was so excited that he started telling everyone as soon as I took the pregnancy test. I will go to see my midwife on Friday and we will plan another home birth. We just told the kids yesterday and they are all ecstatic! We feel truly blessed.

In other news.......we put in an offer to buy a house. The house is on the market being sold as a 'short sale' so it may take some time for us to hear back about our offer. This will be the first house we have ever bought if things go through. God willing, it will not take much longer.

Katelyn was sick 2 weeks ago and no one knew what was wrong with her. Finally, after some tests we found out that she had salmonella. She is doing better, thank the Lord, but now the health department has to get involved. Hopefully that will not be too bad.

Abby gets her cast off on Friday! She can't wait. Hopefully the new x-rays will show a healed elbow so they don't have to put another cast on. She has been a real trooper. It hasn't stopped her from being her daring self.........

Joshua will start his Doctoral studies in June. We are so proud of him. He graduates in May with his second Masters Degree (Master of Divinity) and he will Graduate with Honors! It has been a long journey for us to get to this point but as we look back we feel it was worth it.

Even though the events that led up to our coming to Florida were hard and painful at times, God was there and He showed us his hand of protection and provision along the way. He is still taking care of us every day and it is a blessing to be where He wants us..............
