Justus Daniel Southerland arriving soon! Our daughter, Danna had her last office visit with the OB/GYN this past Monday and the doctor's raised eyebrows and look of surprise told us that our little man is almost here! Any time now! We have made one practice run to the hospital and are ready for the real thing! Please pray for Danna and the baby ...the delivery ... just pray for it all! I will definitely keep you posted.
 Jered, Jodi and the twins are doing great! I was in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago and had so much fun with them!
Lelia seems to add a new word to her personal dictionary every day, the latest being "uk" which is translated "yuk." She loves being a girl! Jaydan loves being a boy ... trucks go "vrrroom, vrrroom" and dirt tastes great!
  Jaydan's first haircut by mom!
Gorgeous little man!
I am not sure Lelia approves.
Dan is busy at Westside and loving it! We started a church in ... are you ready for this one ... Leavenworth Penitentiary. You can catch Dan's sermons by visiting the church website at www.westsidefamilychurch.com. And if you are ever in Lenexa, Kansas, we would love to have you join us for a worship service!
Mary ... at least I think that is my name ... is busy! I turned in the proposal for my next book and am very excited about writing it. Please pray for the right publisher and for God to direct every step along the way.
I just started working with Pastor Serve, a ministry of encouragement and support for pastors. My job? To create a model for ministry that will encourage the pastors' wives of Kansas City. Many of you know that this has been a burden of my heart for a long time and now it seems that we are here in Kansas City for "such a time as this." Please pray that I will hear God's voice and see His vision. You will soon be able to keep up with the plan on my web site. Stay tuned!
