In the midst of our anticipation and excitement, Chad’s family has undergone an unspeakable tragedy.  He has a cousin who struggled for years with infertility and spent a fortune in an attempt to have children.  Last year, she and her husband had a successful in-vitro and on New Year’s Eve they gave birth to twins.  A boy and a girl.  On Friday they lost the little girl.  The situation is horrific and I am not free to share all of the details on such an open forum, but please keep the entire family (including us) in your prayers.
