10/03/04

Not much happening in our neck of the woods. Not that there are many trees, as many of you already know. Dan's still busy with work. A heavy work load and demanding deadlines have kept him late much of this past week. As for me, I spend most of my time trying not to throw up. I've been feeling nausiated since the 24th. A combination of tests at home and by the doctor have revealed the cause to be our latest ... and pretty much only ... news. We're expecting. My first visit to the Ob/Gyn won't be until Nov. 1st, so we don't have much information. We guess that the due date will be sometime between mid-May and mid-June. As information becomes available to us we'll pass it along to you.

I'll keep this letter short so that those of you with the need to read this over and over again in shock won't have to read a lot.

Sheri, I regret that our financial situation will not allow me the opportunity of visiting you later this month. We do, however, look forward to seeing you and the rest of the family shortly after Christmas.

Sandy, I looked at the selection of teas at one of our supermarkets and got confused. (I know. Nothing new.) There are so many brands and varieties that I was hoping you would be willing to help me out again. Would you be willing to send me a sample of a couple you enjoy so that I may try them before purchasing 30+ per box for myself?

Jennifer, I'm anxious to know how you are doing? It's drawing closer and closer to your due date. Have you and Andy picked out names yet? How are the other kids feeling about it?

Karma, I'm terrible at remembering things. Would you be so kind as to email me the Christmas schedule for this year? I have an idea, but I'm not sure who Dan and I have.

Beverly, how are things in your neck of the woods? You have a lot more trees than we do. At least I know that much :). Tell us how everyone is doing.

Steve, send along our love to those who aren't getting this directly. Let us know how you and Lea are. Have you healed up yet? How's work going?

Dad & Lucynthia, love from the States. I always look forward to reading the exciting and interesting emails you send. I still post them on the internet so that I can look at them anytime.

Love to you all,

-Daniel & Karen
