I wish I were there in Florida...

The Slagenweit family! Jay, Tonya and Tyler!!
Tyler just chillin'!

Jenn and Tyler.
I "borrowed" these pictures from my sister in law, Jenn's blog. These are of the newest member of the family, Tyler. He is so cute! We get to meet him soon! And we can't wait. It's so hard to be so far away from everyone, especially now that they all have kids. It makes the time we do get to spend together even more special. I love that we get pictures on our phones and these blogs to keep up!
We were invited Sunday to go to Church with our friends, Eli & April. They are having their baby girl, Rebecca Addison dedicated. That's exciting! Then it will be off to see our Dads! We haven't got to meet their little girl yet, so we're excited!! Everyone is having all these babies! I feel like it may be in the water! Marianne (David's sister) will be having a boy before long, Joy (David's cousin) will be having a boy soon, Erin (Our friend) will be having a boy soon! What's with all the boys?
*** We are gearing up to go to closing on our home loan soon. Looking to do that on the 25th. The excavator is scheduled to start the first week of July. Later than we hoped, but not to much we can do about it. So it will soon be underway. We can't wait until we get the loan stuff set up. It's so confusing and frustrating. I feel dumb! I feel like I ask a million questions and alot are the same ones over and over! But, we need to make sure we understand what's going on. Not that we think once we start building it will get any less stressful, but this banking stuff is crazy!! So that is where we are with that.***
Also, a prayer request! My sister, Tonya, has had these "spells" for the past 4 years. They have pushed it off as food allergies. Then they thought it had to do with her mentrual cycle, and her hormones, so they put her on birth control. This helped for awhile, but then they were back. She gets severe abdominal cramping, headaches, diarrea, vomiting, hives, etc... Very bad, and very scary. She has had to go the hospital a bunch of times and had to miss alot of work. She gives herself the epi pen and it brings her out of it. Well, anyhow. She finally went to another doctor this week and they feel maybe it has something to do with her eggs going into the fallopian tube and getting sifted???(Not sure if this is EXACTLY how it was worded! They told her about them being sifted???) But they are not sure, so he is sending her to Hershey Medical Center to see a specialist. He also told her to stop using the epi pen or she will get immune and they won't work when she really needs them. Right now she uses them 1-2 times a month at least. They told her if this is the problem if she were to get pregnant right now these "spells" would be 100 times worse. So, to make a long story short, could you please pray for them to figure out what is going on!!! God it the only one who can truly help!!! And I pray that he touches her. It is very scary for the whole family! Thank you!! :)


I just thought I would add this picture! I think it's hilarious! This is Evan, my best friend Hailey's 2 yr. old son. Poor kid! What they have to endure sometimes for our amusement!! LOL!!

So, are you coming down to see the baby, or are they going to see you?

We'll be praying for your sister, Tonya. Sounds very scary and frustrating!
