Dos Ninos!

I'll get straight to the point...

Zach and I found out this morning that we are having TWO BOYS!!!!! We are beyond excited about having boys, and love to think about everything that little boys bring into the world!


It has been a rough week for us. After spending 2 weeks in Muleshoe, we came back to Abilene last Wednesday night. On Thursday morning I woke up sick, but I wanted to make it to my scheduled doctor's appointment soooo badly...so I went to the appointment hoping that he would tell me the sex of the babies regardless of my condition. Well, as soon as he walked into our room I started throwing up. Not only would he not do the sonogram, but he sent me straight to the hospital! I spent the next 24 hours in the hospital with IV fluids keeping me going. It was not very fun at all, but I did get to meet a lot of the nurses on the Labor/Delivery Ward. They were all VERY nice, and I will feel very comfortable going there in the future. *Hopefully only for the delivery and not for another virus. Even though Zach was sick too, he took very good care of me. Such a stud.

The weekend was spent with the Sheets family here in Abilene. We moved Tyler's stuff out of his house, and we moved Landon's stuff in at Sarah's house. It was a weekend full of extreme emotions, but through it all, we have felt God's presence.

Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers, letters, emails, flowers, hugs, tears, shoulders, phone calls....etc. We have been overwhelmed with comfort.

God has blessed us with the joy of babies in the midst of grief. Two boys....I can't WAIT!!!!!!!!


I am 19 weeks prego.



Zach is showing the boys essential toys to have.



Just having fun!

Hi Kara,

I'm Bernita's cousin, Sunny (Free) Folding, Zach's cousin-once-removed. My sister, Sydni, sent me your blogspot. It's great! It's fun for me to get a peek into Zach's life ... and yours! ;)

We've been shedding many tears, along with you, about Tyler's death. I have to remind myself sometimes that he's actually gone. Wow; what a hit. I can only imagine what you all have been going through the past few weeks.

Congratulations on your expectationS! :) That is really exciting news. We're really happy for you!

Come see my MySpace if you'd like: www.myspace.com/sunnyfolding. My husband is four months into his first preaching position, here in Tucson, AZ. It's exciting! There's so much work to be done in the kingdom. It's a privilege to share in that work with the likes of you and Zach.

With love, Sunny Folding
