hi ya'll

Hello family and friends,
Things are going well.  Mark is still looking for a job and we are continuing to trust in God.  I am 25 weeks and 4 days today and oh my do I "feel" pregnant! 
The kids are doing well.  Markie and  At the Threshing Floor (youth Praise band) will be performing at the FCA Tournament of Champions at Currituck High school tomorrow at 5.  (FCA stands for Fellowship of Christian Athletes)  My nephew, Sean ,is one of the new drummers for the band and they all have been working hard and doing an awesome job. 
The middle schoolers at FBSM will be having a lock-in tonight at the Greenbrier YMCA and I am going as a chaperone.  Told my youth Pastor that he may find me curled up in a corner around midnight...haha.  Who knows when I will be able to do something like this again with baby Benjamin on the way.
Mark is still making his beautiful pens and and batons and is working on getting a website up and running to supplement our income.  Once we have it going I will let everyone know so ya'll can go shopping for these awesome pens for gifts. 
The girls are doing good still.  We are all excited about meeting Benjamin in late June.  What a true blessing he is!
Our church is doing fantastic.  Our youth group had 120 students this past Wednesday night!  It is so great to see the growth that is going on not only in the youth group but overall at Fellowship Baptist Church!  God is faithful!!
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we seek God's direction on what He wants for us especially with Mark finding employment and the remaining 14 weeks til  baby comes!
Love ya!!

Hi everyone

I decided that the Kinkade family needed a blog so here we are.  Things are going good right now.  As many of you know Mark retired from the Marine Corps after 23 years of service on Dec.31st and is still looking for a job!  We are continuing to trust God and know that the right job is coming.  The kids (although not little anymore) are doing awesome.  Elizabeth turned 19 on Jan. 28th (Shocking cuz I'm not that old haha) and is a nanny for dear friends of ours.  She is looking to pursue getting her CNA to start and then moving from there into another medical career (still undetermined). She is a beautiful young lady inside and out.  Markie will turn 17 in June (OH MY GOODNESS)!!!!  He is 6'1" and still growing and is a Junior at an early college high school as well as being very active in school theater which will be performing Beauty and the Beast in April.  He plays bass and sings with the youth praise band.  And Hannah will turn 13 in July!  I know..WHAT?  My baby will be a teenager!  Holy Moly!  She is doing awesome in school as well and is active in Teen Court and AVID.  And then......there is baby #4 on the baby!  We are having a baby boy who we are naming Benjamin Dean.  I am 23 weeks and 1 day. My due date in June 27 and we couldn't be happier or feel more blessed!!!  As most of you know, this has been a journey spanning back  a while.  We tried for 16 months and 2 miscarriages, 3 failed iui's and 6 failed clomid treatments later we finally conceived au naturale!  It was all in God's perfect timing and He was not having all the interventions haha!!!  HE is the creator of all living things and HE knows when it's time.  Anywho, YAY!!
Well, that pretty much sums up our lives right now.  I will try and post some pics of the family along with ultrasound pics as soon as I figure out how to...haha.
