Guess you figured it out!

 

LOTS TO SAY!

Guess you figured it out by now, but if not----YES, kemp is going to be a big brother! Here's a few shots from the other night when they told us! And HOW they told us!!! haha! When we got there, Lily and Kemp were playing in the backyard and Brad was fixing "dogs and burgers" on the grill. Apparently , Pat found the "evidence"---the empty box in the trash right before and so he found out FIRST! HAHA! He picked up Kemp and held him on his shoulders. He said, "Make a picture of Kemp, mom!" I did and I heard Kadie scream! I was looking thro the eye of the camera and had no idea what, if anything , the shirt had even on it!!! Then, Kadie goes, "GRAN JAN! LOOK AT WHAT KEMP'S SHIRT SAYS!" Before I even saw the writing, I saw the look on Nat's face and I just KNEW! HA! We were/ARE so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was great news on a night where we were happy but sad, too. We were having a "good bye" dinner for our precious PAT PAT as he MOVES to Destin (TODAY!). Charles and Rachel were the only ones missing, they are in San Francisco, so they didn't get to find out this time the news this night, but maybe this news will make THEM want a  wee one soon, too!--- As far as Pat's move: Pat has always wanted to live near the beach----he LOVES Destin!! He kept telling us he was going to apply at that HUGE Bass Pro Shop there, and he did! Well, as his luck would have it, he GOT HIRED!! He turned in his 2 week notice to Mark's Outdoors but in the meantime, they called him back and wanted him ASAP! SOOOOOO, he is starting work----TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He got an apartment and is moving today!!!!!!!!!! RIGHT NOW! WAAAA!. Terry wanted to have a PRAYER SEND OFF for Pat so that's what we did! We all prayed out loud for our sweet brother/son and even Lily and Kemp joined in with their cherubic chatter. It was a CRY-FEST , for sure, no one wants PAT PAT to leave, but we're so happy for him, too. I was FINE until yesterday when I was there helping him load the truck and Kemp was "helping" ! Then, he put Kemp in the car seat when we were leaving and Kemp started screaming , "PAT PAT!" I lost it as did Pat. Kemp is going to miss his Uncle Pat living with him and Natalie and Brad? Well, while she sometimes fussed over his MESSY room and leaving too much garbage in his garbage can, they are REALLY so sad. I guess God had arranged already for Natalie to be at Camp Sumatanga this week-end when he left, otherwise, she wouldn't have made it thro the good-byes. And being "Preggie" she already is emotional!! Glad she's not here. When she called to check on Kemp yesterday (we're helping Brad out with him while she is working on the week-end), we both cried when I told her about how KEMP cried! OH , and Katie????? Katie who cries when an ANT dies???? Imagine!!! Needless to say, we're a BUCKET OF TEARS! BUT, we'll PROBABLY hear from him more NOW than before, to be honest! And, at least Stefanie will  be down there, too, so he won't be totally alone, thank goodness! I will post those pix in a few days!.........

Back to the "PREGNANT SURPRISE": It was so funny b/c one of the first things Natalie told Kadie and Michael after we figured out the message on KEMP'S SHIRT, was, "we were pregnant together last time, so let's have a baby together again!" Michael shook his head an emphatic NO ! HAHA! I wish they would! That was so much FUN! (for ME, anyway! HAHA)........BUT! GUESS WHAT?????????  Natalie IS pregnant with a sister-in-law anyway! KARYN (and ANTS). are pregnant, too! The only "fly in the ointment"???? THEY ARE DOWN UNDER so I can't get any PREGGIE BELLY pictures of them together! (and we can't go to the hospital to see the new little HORNE when he/she first arrives!!!!!! ) AND,  I 'll just have to copy and paste bellies side by side, I guess! MOZZA is going to be like I was the first time----have 2 together!!!! GO MOZ!!!!.....As they say in Australia, FAIR DINKUM!!!!...I have the most incredible pix of Brad/Nat telling KRISTY via SKYPE (the internet video service---In "real time")THE news!!! I will post those tomorrow , to drag this out! HAHAHA! They are great photos! Kristy cried, too, so add that to the CRYING NIGHT at the Horne House< only, they were all tears of JOY, for Pat AND for Nat/Brad and Kemp! Such is the stuff of LIFE! Moving on, adding TO, living life to the fullest! Being the very best person you can be and BLOOMING where you are PLANTED! Especially this moment: To my sweet Pat and Nat, moving towards a new turn in your lives: BLOOM ON, precious precious ones! I love you so much.........
