Great News!

Jada is going to be a big sister in nine months. For her one year birthday we found out she is going to be a big sister. Mike and I are really excited. We are really looking forward to repeating all the wonderful experiences we have had with Jada up to now. We already have a name picked out if it is a boy, Caleb Micheal Innes. For a girl, we haven't thought about it yet, Caleb Michael is a name we have liked for a long while. But name are known to change at last minute so we will see. More great news is this pregnancy will be during the winter months. Due date is April 14th (our wedding anniversary) and we are currently in week 4. We still don't know all our plans yet but at the moment it is very likely that this baby will be born in China as well and within 2 years of being here we will have had 2 babies, one per year. We are very happy and excited to see how Jada adapts to being a big sister.
Other really great news is that the opportunity for the Embassy job that Mike had figured was no longer available because the closing date was a month ago and he hadn't heard anything, seems to be more possible now. He got an email last week saying that he has been invited to take a written test Wednesday morning. This is a great opportunity to spring into a Career. It gives him lots of exposure and contacts in possible job markets that he could get into and maybe even a better position at the embassy. That is our hope. One of our friends from church said that several of his friends started out in grunt embassy jobs and it always spring boarded into something else. We are really hoping this works out.
