Exciting Day! Update on our little girl...

Today Grandpa, Josiah and Mommy went to an open house at a local fire station. Josiah had a blast! He jumped on a moonbounce (kinda) and went down the slide it had, he climbed in an ambulance, he watched Grandpa "put out a fire" with the fire hose, he watched a huge fire truck raise it's ladder ALLL the way up, and he "drove" an army tank! The local police, firemen, and Army National Guard were all represented- as well as some K-9 units. We didn't stay long enough to see the helicopter that was flying in, but we still had a lot of fun. Josiah even got one of those cute little plastic fireman hats... ahh a little boy's dream day! It was a great morning of fun and my camera batteries lasted just long enough to get a couple good pictures...

Josiah "driving" an army tank (He loved that so much we had to tell him to get out so the other kids could have a turn!) He sat in the seat driving by himself but then asked Grandpa to "come in with me!"

Our other little one is doing very well... she's kicking and keeping busy so that's a good sign! I am 21 wks pregnant tomorrow, and am actually feeling very well lately. I attibute that to all the prayers coming my way, so please keep them up!If she's anything like her older brother, I'll never feel her STOP moving! Today Michael and I decided.... ***DRUMROLL PLEASE*** Our daughter's name is Lydia Marie! We always liked that name and if Josiah had been a girl that would've been his name. But even after he was born, I felt like I "had" a Lydia already, like I knew her and was just waiting for her to come. (I know, I may sound weird...) but, I believe this is just her name! and here she is! SO, we're going to stop trying to think up others, she's just Lydia. We already call her "Liddie" sometimes and we are so excited to meet her. Daddy rubs my belly and says, "Hey little Lydia, how are you today?" it's pretty adorable! Of course, we have a few months to go so if we have to change it we can... but I doubt we will!

Lisa and Lydia- 20 weeks

Michael is doing great and is excited that school is almost out. He doesn't have any final exams (YAY!) but has lots of research and papers due as the end of the year approaches. His professor told him that he could hear about a job interview as early as next week for the teaching position at Univ. of Baltimore... so PLEASE continue to keep that in your prayers!!!

We love you all and hope you are doing well. We'll keep you posted on any other Walk family wonders! Hopefully we'll have good "job" updates very soon!!!

God bless,

Lisa, Michael, Josiah and Lydia
