Lillia Mae

Our sweet little surprise was born on November 16th. She came into the world a month before we were anticipating, but thankfully was a healthy 7lb 11oz. Chris and I are still in shock that we are cuddling our new little GIRL!! Our transition to a family of four has been smooth and exciting. Mark is a fantastic big brother! He loves kissing and hugging his little sister and he's getting pretty good at pronouncing her name. Praise God for his graciousness to us!!

Ben's GCC Interview

A couple weeks ago we had the pleasure of a quick visit from Mimi, Aunt Emily, and Uncle Ben while they were on there way for Ben's interview at Grove City. We woke Mark up for the occasion. It was especially exciting to see Aunt EMILY because Mark had just learned how to pronounce her name-- "L" and all!!!

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
