I thought that you all should be one of the first to know that my wife and I are having a girl. We are going to name her Dakota Riley. Thank you for your continuing prayers and support. I know that I have been absent for a long time (things have been rough for she and I on the financial side), but things are what they are. God doesn't give us anything that we cannot handle. Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know. And to thank you all.

Hrob, congratulations! I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling financially--but I'm delighted to hear that you're having a girl! While I loved having our boys, I did miss shopping for girls...

I'm happy for both of you. How are things with her family?

We miss you, but we know you are still one of us!

With prayers for all three of you,

Colleen

Congratulations, Hrob,
It is so nice that you have told us of your good fortune to have a girl. I had only one baby, a boy, and was so blessed to have him. To make up for no girls, I buy things for my sister's 2 granddaughters.
How is everything with her family? Keep in touch when you can and remember that we always pray for you, your wife and daughter.

Hrob,
Congratulations on your little baby girl!
I know that you don't know me, but maybe I can be of some help. Where do you live? I live in San Diego, CA, the most expensive place to live that you can imagine, well except for maybe Hawii. You see, we've raised four children while struggling financially and I know how to work the system. I even managed to stay home for 16 years with my children. I know about all the breaks, discounts and stuff like that.

In two words "GARAGE SALES"
Thriftily,

Rob,
Dakota is a beautiful name for a loved little girl. I am thrilled for you and your wife. All three of you remain in my prayers.

Hrob,

Congratulations on your addition! You'll have to get her a little Cardinals jersey or jumper or something.:-)

Hannah,
You are soooo right, garage sales and thrift shops are an awesome way to set up a nursery and household and clothe a family. But there are breaks for low income families in the way of phone bills, gas & electric, housing, medical, etc. My mom is a widow living on a fixed income and when I set it up for her three years ago, she was able to live on $980 a month right here in San Diego. When you consider than most people here pay much more than that for rent alone, it's nothing short of amazing. Hrob, let me know if you would like me to offer you some insights into the system.

Your sister in Christ,
Foreverscout

That's just too cool. I'll send a gift for the baby to Colleen and she can forward it your way. May the Lord greatly bless and keep you, your wife and that wonderful baby!

Hey, Susan--I can do email exchanges, but I can't do parcel management! Maybe the two of you could exchange email addresses--can you sign up for a yahoo or a hotmail account and get your email at the library, Susan? That way you can get a mailing address directly from Hrob.

Send me your email addresses, Hrob and Susan, and I'll put you in touch with each other!

Colleen
