....an update on the Traveling Wittenbergs.....
As you know, we have had a marvelous spring traveling around the eastern U.S., speaking with many churches and families about adoption and orphan care and how they can be involved. God has been so close and faithful throughout our journeying! We also give thanks for the enriching time we had in Orlando at our Campus Crusade new staff training.
We rejoice today at being 20 weeks pregnant! What a humbling honor to watch a miracle before our eyes. Man (as in infertility treatment) could never ever accomplish what God breathed as He chose. 15 years ago, we were under the care of one of the "best" infertility doctors in the world, everything looked "perfect" througout each procedure, yet life never grew. God will move as He chooses, as He sees best for His dear ones. We continually give thanks that 11 years ago, He began leading us to our five precious children who made us parents and have given us immeasurable joy and growth.
My pregnancy is going along well, with a few hiccups along the way. Most notably, I was in the hospital overnight last week in Birmingham, AL.....we were on our road home, planning to be back in CO in about 3 weeks from now. The OB's there encouraged me to fly home to CO, see my local doctor, and stay put! That was enough for me to fly home this past Monday night and see my doctor yesterday (Doug and the children are driving the RV home the next few days!). All is well for now, but they are very glad I will be close by for ongoing monitoring!

(Driving through rural TN)
This week marks another huge transition for our family.
We will settle again in CO for this next phase in our life, but will rely on God to direct us from here, every step of the way.
Watch the blog for new pix of our trip very soon - I JUST figured out how to convert my large, unruly pictures into a smaller format that will allow me to upload them here SO MUCH easier!! We can't wait to share many of our zany adventures and opportunities with you!
