(Lana's POV)

Well, I didn't have the best morning recently. I finally felt good enough to make breakfast and just as I finished, some wire in our cooker short circuited and sent the thing into flames. Thank the Lord that Parker works fast and was able to put it out fast, we still called the fire department to let them know and they came and did a sweep. Thankfully insurance covered the cooker and some of the smoke damage, so while a repair crew came to work on those we stayed at Parker's parents place.

Parker and I both felt it necessary to get a scan at the hospital just to check that everything was alright with the smoke inhalation, since my last scan was the one we did very early on, it was very interesting to see how much things have changed since that very first scan - we even learned a few things from the doctor! I'm going back soon for my 20 week scan, but it was good to get the green light that everything was okay. We're having our gender reveal very soon and we're so excited to find out!

Parker and I got the chance to travel to Windenburg with his parents, Allan Sr was speaking at a church conference and Parker was actually asked to help with the A/V during the various sessions so we travelled together. It's so great getting to see Parker's parents in ministry mode, they're such great examples and I'm thankful that the Lord has put them in my life to learn from. While in Windenburg, Amira and Zoe came to the conference with their families and it was so good to be able to see them! Zoe is in her 3rd trimester with her 3rd precious baby, so it was so good to see her before she gives birth as next time we're currently planned to see her is at Harvestfest - but something might come up sooner.

We had a nice weekend with the girls and their families, Zoe told us that Francisco got his orders meaning that its confirmed that the family will be moving to Henford-on-Bagley after windenburg. This is their first international deployment, so it will be Francisco heading out there to prep for the family to join him. The timing is perfect because Zoe is due with this baby in just a few weeks, so a group of the siblings are going to help them pack and move things so that she can be back in Newcrest for the baby to be born and will stay there until it's time for them to join Francisco.
