BABY ON THE WAY

Most of you know already but we're expecting another baby. I'm due July 24th. We're really excited. The kids are excited as long as it's a girl. Hope they're not too disappointed if it's a boy. We've tried to explain that we don't get to choose, but that's not flying with Ethan. He's demanding it's a girl. He says he wants another Emma. CUTE! They are helping pick out names like pumpkin head, blanket head, cell phone head, and Jackson. Emma chooses names like Cody, Cameron, and Jake. You need to know though that these are names of boys in her kindergarten class. I think we wont take their advice. I am three months along and hopefully out of the nauseous can't do anything stage. My house has never been this dirty. It's driving me crazy. If anyone wants to come scrub floors or toilet's you're welcome to. Thanks to all who kept us in their prayers and helped us pray this baby here. We love you all, and are grateful for your support.

Kristy Palizzi Ragsdale

I found out last night that one of my mission companions, Kristy Palizzi, was murdered yesterday by her husband in her church parking lot. I had the privilege of serving together with Kirsty twice. Once was only for six weeks and then she was my companion again for the last month of my mission. I am in shock that something like this could happen to such an amazing girl. She was the most determined and goal oriented companion I had. She knew who she was, and she knew what she wanted out of life, and nothing was going to stop her from getting it. I loved her, and am grateful I was able to know her. Please join me in praying for her family especially her two boys she left behind.
