Sophie Sugai

Well, we had our ultrasound today and found out that we are having a girl!  Her name will be Sophie Sugai.  Sophie comes from Chris' great-grandmother.  Sugai (pronounced Sue Guy) is my Japanese grandmother's maiden name.  My due date is still on track, so it looks like Sophie will be joining our family around January 22, 2010. 

We have had a lot of exciting things happening in the Greenwood family.  On Sunday, the church will be voting to make Chris full-time.  We will also be moving at the beginning of October.  God has already blessed us with an awesome place to live that will make Chris' commute 15 minutes!  One of my friends from my MOPS group emailed me last week to see if we were interested in renting their townhouse since her and her husband will be moving into their new home.  Our little family went to see the townhouse yesterday afternoon and after discussing it, Chris and I let my friend know we are interested.  It has 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.  The kitchen has been remodeled with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.  There is a finished basement where Chris will be putting his man cave and University of Tennessee decor.  I will have a room on the main level that will be my craft room and the kids will be able to have their play room there, too.  The master bedroom is bigger than any of the rooms Chris and I have had since we've been married.  There is a deck right off the master bedroom, and I've already called dibs on it being Mommy's special place.  The master bathroom has a whirpool tub and seperate shower.  The kids will each have their own room and they will share a bathroom.  There is TONS of storage which is a HUGE blessing.  We are getting all of this for less than what we are paying now, so God is truly blessing the Greenwoods!

We are heading to Massachusetts at the end of the month for Chris' ordination, so please be in prayer for safe travels and that Chris will be accepted for ordination.  Also, be in prayer as we get ready to pack and move to our new place--that the transition will go smoothly for all of us.
