To have and to Hold!

The Holland family (Loren, Alaina, + baby boy in the womb) get to travel to the U.S.A. this weekend!! We are going for Morgan (Loren brothers) wedding!! He is marrying Margaret who we think is wonderful! We will celebrate with them as they say their vows to have and hold each other from now until death do them part. Celebrating these two will be a blast. We are also looking forward to having time with family and friends and holding them finally in an embrace! We had a gender revealing party for our baby last weekend. We went to our 18 week ultrasound checkup and told the doctor if he could tell to write the gender on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. We gave the paper (forcing ourselves not to look at it so we didn't know) to our friend Renae who made the cake with the appropriate frosting blue or pink. At our party we cut the cake to find out if it was a boy or girl! This dear baby boy is due October 1st and we are looking forward to have and holding him in our arms. Update on Alliance: The school flooded- we were having so much rain that the sewers overflowed plus the rain came pouring in. Thankfully now the school is 'back to normal' with no more water trapped. Thank you all for your continued prayer as we have a full month left of working at Alliance before the school year ends.
