Walk for Life

Mike and I are participating this year in the "Walk For Life" which benefits the Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC) of Tidewater. The CPC is a ministry that serves women who find themselves in seemingly hopeless situations. Many are considering abortions and the center provides counseling and facts as well as ultrasounds so that these women can see their babies and know that there are other options available to them. They also provide general love and support and help meet these women & babies' needs in a way that does not condemn, but offers life.

We will be walking at the Norfolk Zoo on Saturday, May 2nd and are asking you to help support this life-giving ministry with a pledge. The funds will go directly to provide ultrasounds, literature, diapers, clothing and more for women in need. It's amazing what a difference it makes when these women see an ultrasound and know that there is truly a life growing inside them. You don't have to give me money right now... you can just send me an email with your name, address and pledge amount and you will be sent an envelope to mail in your gift. **If anyone would like to join us at the Walk, just let me know!!

Thanks for your support!

Melissa, Mike & BabyW.

Two More!

New babies that is!!

Congratulations everybody!! Can't wait for BabyW. to meet all his new friends!

Lots & Lots of babies!

In the last month, five of my friends' babies have been born (two in the last week!) and I know of eight more who should arrive by the time Baby W. does, and then three MORE later this year! One thing's for sure, Baby W. should have plenty of friends to play with... 4 boys, 10 girls and 3 surprises! That's 17 new babies this year! Wow! I guess we're just at "that point" in life or something, huh? What blessings! I think what is most amazing to me is that I know these little ones are being brought into families who will teach them about the Lord and that each one of them will have such potential to have an amazing impact on our world! It'll be exciting to watch!

My friends Kären & Jared had their sweet little girl, Eliza Hope Fulton on Saturday, March 21st. Coleman is the happy big brother.












And here is adorable little Joshua David Childress, born Wednesday, March 18th to Marie & John, with his proud big sister Anna. Can't wait to meet you!
