Here are some clues for you to figure out what's new in the lives of the Hines Family . . .
This is how we told our church family last weekend at our Harvest Party (thus, the Hickville getup). Figure out the mad gab and you've got the first clue!
I sent this picture to my Mom back home. She is proud to admit that Godiva is her granddog and always asks about her. Sometimes Godiva speaks back to Grandma as well. (Fine, now you know, we are a big fan of our dog . . . in case you hadn't picked up on that from our frequent mentioning of her and her happenings as well!!)
We had the blessed privilege of telling some of our family in person as they were here last month. This was their reaction . . . Don told them the news just before snapping the picture so that we could capture their expressions and post it for all the world to see! Lucky us!!
This is the last and final clue! This is how we found out the grand news!
If you haven't figured it out yet, then I am quite sure that writing it out for you wouldn't help either, but I'll go ahead and fill you in on it anyway. We are expecting the arrival of our first child! We are about 11 weeks along and were able to hear the heart beat and see our little one on the ultrasound last week. What a great honor to be able to see just a glimpse into our creative God's handiwork!! We were once again amazed at His grace for allowing us the great responsibility of raising a child. We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we enter this new stage of life as well as for the health of this "bun in the oven".

YAAAAA! Now I don't have to keep a secret anymore! I kept checking Hines Herald for the news to be posted. That's a creative way to let everyone know at the party. We just wish we were there.
p.s. I'm home on Sunday afternoon watching the Pack and Redskins.....and hoping for another win. :)
That was a fun way for us to find out at the Harvest Party! Congratulations once again! I had been dying to ask Kristen if she had talked to you, but I thought that would make her wonder why so I was glad when she told me last night that she had finally gotten up with you and heard the news!
Congratulations,Don and Katrina!!! What a cute idea to play madgab for the church :) You'll be a great mom, K. We're happy for you guys!
WOW you guys are so creative and funny. Congratulations - I might just have to borrow that idea (when I need it) I love it.
Hey, guys, we're so excited for you. You called the other night to tell us...you didn't leave a number for us to call you back at. Somehow we don't have the right number. Would you mind giving us another ringy-ding-ding (and leaving a number if we don't answer?) Thanks for sharing your one of your "first moments" with us. It's hard to believe it's been over 6 years since we first shared our "first moment" with you. :-)
