Casey just told me this little tidbit from a friend today and I had to share. This is the cool kind of thing we get to experience several times a week...
One of Casey's mom's good friends came from Denton today to our baby shower. She drove four hours to get here, stayed for an hour or so, then drove four hours home...totally awesome, but not the reason for this blog.
This is why I write tonight - she told Casey that she prays for the babies every day and that one time while she was praying, she felt an overwhelming sense that she should "pick one." So she did - she picked Lila Addison as her "one". And from that day forward, she has said her prayer for the babies and then she says a prayer specifically for Lila. How cool is that? Little girl isn't even born yet and she already has a prayer warrior assigned to her...VERY COOL!!
This is exactly what I mean when I say the response and the love that we have gotten from everyone has been so uplifting! It gives us such an incredible sense of the power at work in these babies' lives when we have these encounters! Thank you, Jan, for the love that you've shown our family, the quints, and especially little Lila Addison!!
God Bless,
Ethan

- Psalm 127:3-5 “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!” Our life used to be pretty normal. We met in 7th grade, started dating in high school, survived the college years and got married in June of ’99, shortly after graduation. We had a daughter, travelled as much as we could, planned on getting a dog, went to football games on Saturday and church on Sunday, and by the time we hit our thirties, we were well on our way to having the typical American life. Then came Mother’s Day 2008 and though we weren’t aware of it at the time, everything in our lives was about to change. Psalm 127:3-5 started the day off and by the time it had ended, we had decided to try for another baby. One more would have been great; twins would fulfill a dream of ours…but ready or not, here come the Jones QUINTUPLETS!!

That's so neat.
You write about all the blessings y'all have received, but I think it's awesome that y'all have given SOOOOO many people the opportunity to serve and receive the blessings of service.
