Progress

Hey everyone, just an update picture of the baby's adventure into this world! He/She has really been on the move lately. Holly had on a polka-dot sun dress the other night and those dots were just a jumpin' around! We love you all, -Jonathan and Holly

Wow, it's late...

Alright, It is 3:00 am and I have just spent a long evening educating myself on all the lovely things that have to be done in order to rip a DVD, change the format, the get the huge file uploaded to the internet. I know that this Techno stuff is like child's play for some of you, but man it sure is a job for me. Usually once I learn how to do something on the computer, it sticks. But, it is the figuring it all out that I am so slow at. I spent over eighteen hours trying to get the right Greek font to work in Word on my computer this semester and I am to this day unsuccessful! This is why I am now taking applications for a part-time on-call personal information technologies blood brother. The pay is low (respect and gratitude) and the benefits are crappy (Hope is willing to share her Milk-Bones), but we will have been through the fires of digital hades together and share that bond forever. Any Takers?

I hope that you all enjoy the video of the ultrasound! I was absolutely enthralled watching it happen live. I have seen ultrasounds before, but it sure is different when it is yours on the screen.

It is all starting to become more real for me. I was sitting at school last week having lunch alone and looked across the table at the empty chair when it hit me that there will be fewer empty chairs at my table from now on. This little baby is his/her own little person -my little one. I always enjoyed having meals with my family and I look forward to adding the new little Jones into our lives with his/her own place at the table. Love you all, -Jonathan

You get the message...we got great news today at the doctor's office. These are pictures of our precious baby at 20 weeks. We are overwhelmed tonight and really don't know what to write to fill this space. Instead we would love for all of you to send us thoughts, encouragement, advice, and insights. We look forward to reading your comments.

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there were none of them.
Psalm 139:13-16

Jonathan, Holly, Hope, and ......what do you think, boy or girl? Look really hard.
