Praise the Lord!!! John's back home after having been out of town 3 out of the last 4 weeks. Out 2, home 1 and then out 1. Approximately 70 kids (that we know about) in New Mexico decided to trust their hearts to Jesus for the first time at the camps this past month. Praise God!
We are having a girl...most of you probably know this from facebook. Oakley Hope Evans. Cheney turned 4 on June 3rd. Layton turns 8 on July 3rd. John is voting we induce Oakley on October 3rd. I am not fond of induction maybe God will bring her naturally then. The boys both have birthdays on the 13ths. Weird, I know.
The kids and I all had a case of the summer flu this past week..all except Cheney. Somehow she has missed it so far. Hopefully it is skipping her. John asked the kids today what we did all week while he was gone. Their answer, "watch movies, eat and sleep." Seriously...that is what our week entailed. Sad, I know but we were all just sooo tired. Praise God, we have moved through the fever stage and are left coughing and hacking up stuff now.
Prayer concern---only that God would take care of all the details about our house....His will not ours!!!! A snag in the buyer's lender situation so we are still waiting to here if our close is a definite go. That means we haven't rented anything up in East Orlando yet. Only 19 days until close if it is going to happen. I haven't packed a box yet. But this next week I am at least going to starting going through and getting rid of junk we don't need. I suppose like I did in February and got rid of all the baby stuff at our yard sale 3 days before I found out I was pregnant. LOL! God provides. God is in control of all this. I am not going to stress.
PTL...Oakley is doing extremely well. Everything looks healthy for her. I am dealing with the normal aches and pains of a 5th pregnancy at age 37. A few minor issues with me...Going to have my gal bladder checked Tuesday because of some pain there. I also have a recurring urinary tract infection. Going to finish out my pregnancy on an antibiotic. Nothing serious really. The kids are enjoying rubbing the baby belly and talking to Oakley. I wonder how Nathaniel is processing it all at 18 monhts. We point to my belly and he says "belly" and "baby." He is probably thinking that mom of mine is crazy...that is not a baby. Who is she kidding, I know what a baby is?
Well Cheney just came down stairs to go potty. Guess I am not the only one who couldn't sleep at 2 a.m. in our house tonight.
Well...I spoke too soon. Cheney has her fever now. 101.8. So another 3 days of fever if it goes like the other kids. She is sooo sweet with her cool cloth on her head going back to sleep on the couch. All my kids have really done so well with this week. I am praising God I skipped the fever with this one since I am pregnant.

Quick update
Well, dropped John off last Saturday (in May) at the airport and we are now over halfway through with his trip. He is in New Mexico doing two weeks of camp. I am very thankful that we now have fewer days to go than we have covered.
I have been pretty weepy, those stinking pregnancy hormones. I have had to go back to shots twice a week along with taking progesterone daily. It's not that big of a deal, really. I don't really mind shots. But it is a bit tedious going in to get them twice a week with all four ducks in a row. Everyone in the office knows us. We are there so often. The next two weeks we will be there 3 times each week. This week because of Cheney's 4 year well check. She turned four last Wednesday. And the week after that will include a sonogram. Hopefully to determine whether we can start calling the baby, Oakley Joy or Isaac Justice.
Not much going on around here besides eating, sleeping and playing. We clean when we can't stand it anymore,ha,ha! The kids are such a big help though. It is such a blessing!
I got to talk to John on the phone a couple times each day, Friday, Saturday and Sunday when he got a chance to get into town. There isn't any cell service out there at camp. We did figure out we could chat via facebook if we planned it. John hasn't set up Skype on his computer yet. I should have thought about fixing it for him before he left but just didn't. There is only wi-fi in the cafeteria. It would be kind of funny to be video chatting with him and 300 of his closest friends. LOL!
I haven't stopped to upload some of the pictures from Cheney's birthday. We went to the BK lounge for lunch and play in their indoor playground and then the kids dressed up to go see the movie UP. Layton went as an old fashioned nurse with red striped dress and white hat with red cross on it. Elijah went as a pirate and Cheny wore her Cinderella dress with birthday candle laiden head band we got at dollar tree. I just went as a pregnant lady. Not much of stretch, huh?
It's fun when you have multiple siblings you have a party without even inviting anyone. Though we are going to plan some kind of gathering at the lakefront (I think the week John is home) Cheney wants to have cupcakes with some friends and play at the splash pad.
