Praise the Watcher, our 10th child has been born! Another little girl. I kept this pregnancy more quiet as we had some complications (AN: Those complications being this author just forgot to post anything about it) but I’m so pleased to share her birth with you all!
I’m really enjoying the newborn stage with this little one - who we’ve named Sarah-Skye Samantha! Our kids voted on the name and we couldn’t narrow it down to more than 3 names.
My birthday is in just a few months and I know I may not be blessed with any more children, but I will keep hoping and praying! How I would love to be expecting at the same time as Stella Grace! But either way, I’m going to love being a grandmama to my sweet grand babies.
Oh and in other news, Sadie got engaged to Youth Pastor Kyleson. Don’t they look happy!

Sam and Heaven have set Sadie up on a ‘getting to know you’ date with another young man, local Youth Pastor Kyle Kyleson. They decide to hang out in the Gilbert backyard, and they seem to be getting along well...
Sadie: This is so fun! I don’t know anyone else who would spend an hour on the swings with me!
Kyle: Right?? Who says swings are just for kids.
Sadie: I’m having a really great time. We should do this again!
Kyle: Erm, Sadie... can we talk about something before this goes any further?
Sadie: Ok...
Kyle: But you have to promise you won’t speak a word of this to anyone, even if you never want to see me again.
Sadie: You’re scaring me now.
Kyle: You have to promise.
Sadie: Fine, I promise. What is it?
Kyle: Ok, here goes... ahem... I don’t really... like you.
Sadie: You don’t? I thought we were having so much fun together.
Kyle: No, I mean, I like you as a friend, but I - uh - don’t like any women like that. You know, romantically.
Sadie: Oh... you mean you’re *whispers* a hom-
Kyle: Yes, yes. I am! Please, keep your voice down. No one can know.
Sadie: Then why are you telling me? And why did Mother say you were looking for a wife?
Kyle: I am looking for a wife. I don’t want to, but I’ve been a pastor here for five years and people are starting to get suspicious. I really just want a friend - someone I can live with, have a good time with. Maybe one or two kids just so no one asks any questions.
Sadie: I... don’t know what to say. This seems so un-Watcherly.
Kyle: You seem kind and fun and interesting - I thought maybe we could be happy together - like best friends. Even if we’re not in love. You can have time to think about it, if you’d like. But just don’t tell anyone, please. But I think we could be really happy together - you can have your own room in my house, we can get a swingset. I just ask that you be a good wife on the outside. What we do in our house is our own business.
Sadie: I think... I don’t know what I think. I need a moment...
Sadie goes back inside, where Heaven is waiting....
Sadie: Uhm, mother, Kyle is super nice and all, but I don’t think it’s really going to work out... I don’t think I’m quite his... type.
Heaven: What? Who says your opinion matters? Sam and I think he’s a great choice for you - a youth pastor is an excellent career! You go back to him right now and tell him you’re interested in a courtship.
Sadie: But mother -
Heaven: Now!
