Lydia's 25th Birthday!

On Friday May 26th we celebrated Lydia's 25th birthday! We had a great day with our family & friends! My husband is the greatest. He planned this special day for us! For you locals, we enjoyed TC Eggington's for breakfast. (For you non-locals, we promise to take you there if you ever come and visit us. They have the best breakfasts on the planet!) Of course, it wouldn't be an Ingegneri birthday without a movie nor would it be an Ingegneri birthday without some sort of ethnic food...Thai food!! YEAH! Dominic has yet to come out and enjoy the party himself!

FYI: We recently had a very good appt with our midwife. Lydia is 70% effaced and 1cm dilated. Dominic has also dropped down causing his mom to really waddle! We are excited and hope to bring the news any day that he is born!

Norway Family Update!

I know many of you ask about our family in Norway! They are doing well. Lena and the kids just purchased a new home so they are excited for the extra space. They'd been living in a rather small apartment the past 2 yrs. Some other wonderfully exciting news is that Lena has full legal custody of the kids! They still have visitation rights with their dad, but there is no worry any longer as to whom they will live with on a permanent basis. Lena is now the store manager of a Danish women's clothing store which sells fun, bright and funky clothes. The kids are all involved in everything from baseball, swimming to playing guitar and piano!

Lise, Sten Raymond and Isabell are doing great, too. They are in the process of building their own home in the near vacinity of Sten's family. Lise is asst. manager at a cafe in town while Sten is still working for the railroad and is away every other week. Isabell will be 3 in July and is the cutest little thing ever. She goes to pre-school/daycare during the day and really loves it there. Lise and Sten enjoy living on the West Coast and are excited for the completion of their new home!

Scott Update!

Hey All! I am so proud of my husband! Just wanted to let you all know that he is now enrolled in the King's College & Seminary to receive his Master's of Divinity. King's College was founded by Pastor Jack Hayford who is now the president of Foursquare. Scott is excited to receive a degree from a school that is aligned with his beliefs and grounded in Foursquare. Thanks for keeping him in your prayers as he studies and works towards this wonderful goal. In April Scott completed his first week at Pastor Jack's school of pastoral nurture (together with Joe). They had a great time and will be returning for another intensive week in October. I am a very proud wife! Way to go BABY!!

Recent Pictures

Here are some recent pictures! The first picture is of me and my girlfriends Leecel & Beverly. They are also due in the month of June (I am due 6/5, Leecel 6/17, Bev 6/26). Scott has had fun putting the car seat and stroller together and I am thankful to have all the little things done and taken care of!

38 Weeks and counting!

We are only days away from Dominic Joseph's arrival! To say the least we are VERY excited! I am continuing to feel great. Scott is the best husband and daddy. He prays over me and Dominic every morning. Contractions are becoming more and more regular but obviously have not indicated labor yet. We will keep you all posted and updated on the progress and of course annouce the big news hopefully any day!
Much Love From the Excited Parents To Be!
