All Things Babies Pina: Ouch!

Alright, now THAT was a contraction. Too bad the last one was over 90 minutes ago!

Easter twins, maybe?

What's in a Name?

Jezreel Jaxton Pina - Jezreel comes from the Hebrew, meaning "the Lord sows/plants". Jaxton: interesting tidbit - the Hebrew origin of "John/Jack" means "the Lord is gracious". Funked up a little with the "x" and the "-ton" makes his middle name "from the town of John" or more poetically, "from a place where God's grace makes its home". Jovi Julianna Pina - Jovi comes from the Latin for joy or happiness. Julianna means "youthful/soft". So, there you have it - our hopes for these two babes encapsulated in their names.

Where's the need?

A number of people have asked, and we're humbled by your requests, what the babies need. We're really not sure of everything, but will never say no to diapers of the appropriate size - who can blame us?!

It looks like we are all set on the large items - cribs, swings, mats, toys, etc. But, Papa's doing the math and has figured we've run through about 2800 diapers in just the first 6 months - YOWZA!!! Thatsa bunchadiapers!!! We're learning to receive gracefully and have been counseled by some of the best - "let people help", but it's unfamiliar territory. Here's my attempt at asking and receiving gracefully - if you're stopping by without a meal and didn't bring a pack of diapers, plan on doing a load of wash or dishes while you're here... (That didn't sound graceful at all!)

At any time, we invite you to join our support team at Seasons of Life, where the twins' Mommy and Daddy work. Visit them at www.seasonsoflifeministries.org. Recently, they added a booster club page where people can support for as little as 10 of $15 a month.

Thank you, for your loving and gracious support as we move forward in our calling!
