Can you see Little Bug saying, "Sssshhhhh....I've got a secret!!"
Connor's just about bursting at the seams with a secret. He's been wanting to shout it from the mountain tops since Saturday night, but Daddy and Mama told him he had to wait. He's been so disappointed that he couldn't say anything because this is REALLY BIG NEWS for him. He's spent so much time being sick and in the hospital he couldn't wait to hear that he was going to have a new job to uphold in the family. We personally think he is going to do a fabulous job at his new duties. Oh, I bet you're all wondering, "What is this new job Little Bug has to do????" Well in Connor's words he wants to tell all of his family and friends that he is going to be a Big Brother!!!! Yup, that's right, a big brother!!!!!!
We are thrilled to announce the news that we are expecting baby #2. We just found out and we are absolutely ecstatic. We still have yet to see the doctor for the "official" word, but hey, a plus sign is a plus sign, right??? We would respectfully ask for your most earnest prayers that God would touch this new little baby in a special way and that health and wholeness would surround this new "Little Bugaboo" growing inside of mama's tummy. We are trusting the Lord for a great pregnancy and a healthy baby to arrive sometime early March.
If we didn't have the chance to contact you personally, please forgive us but the information got out there sooner than we expected. We will try to catch up with personal phone calls in the coming days. As for now, we will continue with our great excitement and we will anticipate the arrival of a new Little Bug to love.
Lovebug Hugs,
Randy, Lori, Little Bug and "Itty Bitty Wee" Little Bugaboo

Congratulation Randy, Lori and Little Bug. That is just fantastic. We will be praying for a healthy pregnancy for you and for a healthy new baby brother for Little Bug.
I'm just so excited for you!!!! Screaming on the top of my lungs is more like it! What a lucky baby to have such a beautiful family as you. All of my thoughts are with you to recieve nothing but good healthy news. On a side note I am so sorry I missed you at the hospital but at the same time glad I didn't get to see you. You know what I mean! :) That Connor is a little trooper, I just know Stone watches over him whispering words of strength. CONGRATS!!!!!
With love and prayers, Tiffannee
STONE lives in us all

Lori,
I am in ABSOLUTE SHOCK! Good for you guys and what a wonderful brother Connor will be. I am so excited for you and you 2 will be great parents of 2 or who knows.......maybe 3 (twins??)

YES!!!!
Congratulations to Mom, Dad and Connor. I know he'll do a great job being a big brother. He may be a little young to do the diaper runs for Mom, but that will all come in due time. He can warm up with the cuddles, snuggles and kisses.
We will of course pray that God continues to bless Connor with health and lots of sleeping through the night so Mommy can get the sleep she will so desire as the newbie hybernates. :) We will also pray that God will help the new sprout to grow strong and full of life, strength and health.
We have our own praise report. Steven and Tim went to youth camp today. I just wanted to give you a praise report.
Tim just called us 11:00 and was crying. I was worried at first, knowing his history of being away from Mom, until he said he was doing really, really good. Then I thought YES! They had just gotten out of worship and he said that he went forward and said he would serve Jesus no matter what. I guess whoever was speaking, asked them to consider serving and fighting for God. They were told to sit and pray quietly in their chairs until they were sure. If they decided yes, then they were to stand, shout at the top of their lungs, “I will fight for Jesus" and come forward for prayer. Tim said he, Steven and Daniel did it. He said that he and Steven were crying so much, it felt great.
Truthfully, even though I’ve been fasting and praying for my boys this past week, I sort of expected that Steven would be a tougher nut to crack. Praise God for surprising me even in this way.
I only hope that they can get so deeply rooted this weekend that they won’t be afraid to continue in their worship when they come back down the mountain.
Children truly are a Blessing from the Lord. What a difference 4 hours made.
Once again, congratulations. Are you going to find out whether this little one is a boy or girl or be surprised?
Love,
LeeAnn
Wow! you guys don't waste time do you? I am so excited for all of you to experience the next phase of parenthood.....and siblinghood! There is nothing like it. I will keep you in my prayers, I am so excited for you. Kari & Fred are expecting a fourth little one in February.....and they just found out that this one will be a boy!, If your not careful, you may catch up with them in no time! I love and miss you guys!
Love,
Andrea Austin
How amazing. The cycle of life never ceases to cause me to pause and marvel.
Congradulations, friend.

P.S. Thank you for the beautiful card and your sweet words of comfort. The memorial service was delayed and I'm traveling back tomorrow to attend on Thurs. I told Mom you had sent her a card as well. You are truly treasured in my heart.
Lori, Randy & Connor--WOW!!! What exciting news. I know you guys wanted a large family but after your struggles with precious little bug wasn't sure how you'd feel but sound like you're all thrilled. I am so happy for all of you. What a wonderful big brother Connor will be and what wonderful family this new little one will join. Congratulations!!! Boy, the blog makes it easy to let the world know doesn't it!!!
Then I just read Lee Ann's blog and now I am in tears because I have been praying much for the grandsons going to camp that God would do something great in their lives and even last night lay in bed praying for the Holy Spirit to catch them all by surprise. Now, may God confirm and increase the moving in their hearts that a lasting commitment will be established.
Take care of yourselves and the new little life growing in you. We will pray for a healthy pregnancy and baby and for continued improvment and health for Connor. Love you all, JoAnn & Rip
Wow!!! Congratulation. Get ready, little baby, you are in for lots of love.

Hi Lori, Randy and Connor
It was so nice that I could say congratulations to you personally on the news of a new baby and to see Connor. What a beautiful baby,
seeing his blue eyes and he gained so much.
Love Oma and Opa
Congratulations Randy, Lori and Little Bug!
You certainly don't waste any time getting down to the business of growing a family. How exciting! Now I will be an auntie to two little ones! I can't wait!
Lori, I will pray for a pregnancy filled with excellent health as you continually care for Little Bug's needs.
Randy, I will pray for strength for you, too. I know it isn't easy for you to be halfway around the world on your tours-of-duty. Thank you for your service to our country. Every homecoming will be all that more special knowing you have a new little one developing in Lori's womb.
Little Bug, continue to get stronger and push through the discomfort in your GI tract. I am praying that the Lord heals you so that you can be ready for your heart surgery. Keep on growing Little Bug. I hope to see you soon.
Love,
Auntie Heather
P.S. And, congratulations to you, too, Abby. How could I forget!
That's terrific news! We are soooo happy for you all. Congrats & God bless. Glenn & Marianne
Congratulations, you guys! May the Lord give you all of your heart's desires! You are awesome parents.
See you soon.
Love, JoAnn Andro

Tammy
