A family of FIVE!

Six years ago on October 18, Kevin and I began our journey as the Sheckler family. We had no idea what God had in store for us. We knew that following Him with trust and faith, seeking to give Him his due glory was how we were going to go about it.

In November 2004 our first child Sofia was born. After a miscarriage in 2006 we were excited to have Selah join our family in September 2007. And once again, following a miscarriage this past Spring we are so pleased to announce that our family will welcome into this world child #3 in May 2010 (due Memorial weekend).

Here is a recent picture of our girls.


And this is the first picture of child #3. Today I had an ultrasound and wow!!!!! It was so amazing to see the heart beating and to watch as our child was VERY active (now I know why evening sickness has been so prevalent). Our God, the giver of life, has His hand on each of our lives and already knows the details of our little one.


Thank you Jesus for the precious gift of life. We give praise for who You are. We praise You for being our Creator. And thank you for our family, a family of five.

Wow! Congratulations! How exciting. Maybe this is why you've been having a hard time fitting us in? :) I am so excited for you guys and to be able to be here to meet your new sweet baby. How fun to see the little one through ultrasound already. Congrats, Shecklers!

I bet Sofia is super excited.

Cute picture!
