Halfway There!

Baby #4 has achieved plantain status!

I can’t believe this fourth pregnancy is already halfway over.  Today marks “20 weeks” for Joyce (due date is predicted to be October 24, 2009), and Norpino #4 is said to be already the length of a banana!  Wow.  In less than two weeks, we should know the gender of the wee one (assuming, that is, that there is only one in there), and can begin preparing beyond green and yellow.  haha

Getting ready to put about 1,500 miles on the car in the next two weeks, as I will be criss-crossing the state numerous times for ministry, education, and business meetings.  Joyce will be with me part of that time, as will the kiddos.  One trip will be a special Mommy-Daddy-Lukie trip, as we continue to research private, classical schooling as one of our key options to begin Lukas’s educational “career.”

Putting about 1,500 miles on the car these next two weeks.

Another trip will be my summer doctoral residency, an intensive week with my DMin cohort and Dr. David Moore, who will be flying out from California, studying and discussing together “Prophetic Leadership and Redemptive Focus.”  On other trips, I will also be overnight in Norfolk and in Richmond for unrelated events, first for the annual conference of my client, the Virginia United Methodist Church, and then for a very exciting Church Planter’s “Round Table,” designed for potential Assembly of God church planters in our district.
