April 11, 2008 McGaughey Update

Dear everyone:

Nothing seems to slow down in the McGaughey family! If you haven't heard by now.....Amy is Pregnant and on her way home from Afghanistan. We are all so very excited and the kids command has been very supportive to them as well. Amy will be stationed back at Camp LeJuene for now. We think her due date is sometime around Thanksgiving and she and Neal were able to have the first ultrasound together at the Navy Med Center in Afghanistan. Amy will be living with another soldier's wife in Jacksonville, NC and she (Amanda) is 5 months pregnant as well. Her husband is in Iraq. They have a lot in common and they will be good friends to each other.

Neal will start his missions next week. He has asked all of us to really pray because it is something big and that we can watch the news next week as well. That's about all we get out of him for information, but you can tell the seriousness in his voice when he asks us to pray....so we continue to do so!

The house here is coming also well. Our friends here in Jacksonville, FL planted a palm tree in our front yard for our arrival. Since we have unloaded, we have been painting, landscaping a bit and unpacking boxes. It will probably take us a couple of months to get everything in place...at least, that is our plan. Today, I just got my computer and email back -- so I feel much more connected. We have a home phone now and I will list it at the bottom of the email for you.

Mark has already gotten busy with work and loves it. The team here is wonderful and we look forward to working with all of them. Kevin and Connie (the Senior Pastor and his wife) had a great time in KC and loved meeting our friends. They are all anxious to meet you when you come to visit.

Ryan, Megan, Kennedy and Farrell are all doing good too. We talk with them often and that Kennedy is quite the conversationalist! She talked and talked on the phone with me and with Poppie just the other day about everything...it was hilarious. We miss them so much.

I will try to send pictures later and add them to our web page on www.kcbt.org. If you go to that site to get updates, you click the missions tag, then North America. Once you do that, you will see our name and click it, that should get you to our page so you can keep up with us.

Thanks for praying for all of us...and for those on the calendar sending packages, Neal and Amy have LOVED getting them. Thanks for loving our kids and showing it!!
