Well, for those of you who are non-facebook users, I guess you haven't heard the news about the Surprise Bonus we received this month. Not the typical bonus you would expect in the form of a raise or a vacation. It's more like: give birth to two, adopt two, get one bonus baby for free :). Yep, the Chau Kids are now 5. Baby #5 is due to be born around December 30. If you're surprised, so are we. Ever since before we were married, the family plan was to give birth to two children and then to adopt two - Lord willing of course. After Kari arrived in September, we were thrilled. Our plans for our family were complete, or so we thought! Guess God has other plans for us. I'm still a little shocked, oh and very tired and a bit nauseous too. But learning to trust that God has what's best for our family - even beyond what I can see and understand.
I love this picture. My mom's face says it all. It's the moment we told her we were expecting again. She's saying "FIVE?" and my sister, she's saying "WHAT? WHAT?" in her typical Cheryl fashion. It's kind of how we all feel right now.
Shocked and yet Rejoicing.

Kris, I'm so glad you shared this news with us non-facebook users:) We get to rejoice with you too. Congratulations. We know this little one is going to be a great addition to your family and we know that she will be greatly blessed. There's a lot of love in the Chau household. Keep us updated on your pregnancy. We'll be praying. BTW, love the reactions of your mom and sister. That is priceless.
Five Chau kids!? What will you do? Never fear: God has a plan! Kris, I'll be praying for you in the next 6+ months for health and peace. Mmmmm...will there be peaceful(quiet) times in the Chau household again? I wonder. CONGRATULATIONS!
