Announcement with 3 Times the Excitement

Hello everyone, this is your favorite CrossWay member. "No not Matt, it's Chris!" I just wanted to let you all know that CrossWay, or should I say Marty, has a little secret he would like to tell you. Now, for those of you who are devoted fans of Greg Goodman's afternoon show on Solid Gospel Radio, this may be old news to you, but for the rest of you, you are about to get a big shock. Marty and wife, Christy, would like to announce that they are expecting, not ONE, not TWO, but THREE babies in October! (I will give you all a moment to shout, cry, laugh, or even call friends and family members). If you thought you were shocked, you should have seen all of our faces when we heard the news. I think that Christy cried for a solid week, and Marty sat in his chair and didn't speak a word for four days. However, I think that they are warming up to the reality that, in the near future, three little kids will be running around the house. Paul, Matt, and I are all ecstatic about this, and we can't wait to become God-Fathers. I know that if the babies favor their UNCLE they are going to be VERY VERY GOOD-LOOKING. By the way, you all did know that I am Christy's brother, which makes me the VERY VERY GOOD-LOOKING UNCLE? Alright, enough about me, back to the story at hand.
Marty and Christy are thrilled about the three additions to their family, as well as a little nervous. That is why I am excited to inform you that I have started an organization called "Feed Marty's Children." Just send diapers, formula, toys, clothes, college tuition, minivans, or nerve pills, to: Feed Marty's Children, 3 Babies Lane, Oh My My, MS 33333. Just kidding! However, I would like to ask you all to keep Marty, Christy, and their "family-in-the-making" in your thoughts and prayers for the upcoming months. I will go ahead and stress our appreciation to you in advance, THANK YOU and GOD BLESS!!!!

....................UNCLE CHRIS

It was really exciting news to hear on Saturday night in VA! I am so happy for your families. I was given a CD of yours several years ago, and have ordered more online along with the DVD. I was so good to hear you in person, as we felt we knew you all. It was only about an hour and a half drive for us, but so worth it to hear your love for Christ. Chris you better be a good Uncle and help out. Tell Christy to take good care of herself. God's miracle of birth and the blessing of children is a wonderful thing. We will keep you all in our prayers.

We all feel like Aunts & Uncles because we love you guys so much and include you in our family prayers each day. God's blessings on all of you.
Remember you are, Sheltered safe within the arms of God. Psalm 91
Love to all.

I think I would just die if I was told I was giving birth to triplets. I think I'd tell the doctor to send back two of them. Just kidding, congrats to Marty and Christy.

Now to Chris, who says your the favorite Crossway member? Or Matt? If I had to pick, it would be........(drum roll please).......all of you!!!!!!!! How could I choose? You all make such a great quartet.

Gotta run. Work is calling my name.

Keep those blogs coming! It's a lot of fun.

MARTY!!! I guess that's one way to do it. Get the whole family done all at once, then you won't have to worry about it later. OH MY GOODNESS! I'm sure my shock is nowhere near what yours was, but OH MY GOODNESS! You KNOW I will be praying for you and Christy, and for ALL of you guys. OK Matt, you're next (HA!). See you soon!!! Love much and much love, as always!

WOO HOO!! A little birdie had told me the news. I am so happy for you all. I know that my kids are the light of my life. I can't imagine 3 at once though!! You all will be in prayer. Levi and Joshua were excited when I told them. Levi kept saying..3?.....3?.....3?. I can imagine that that might have been Marty's reaction!
God Bless and much love to all!!

Wow! What a blessing! I pray that Christy will have a healthy pregnancy.

Chris, you must face reality some day......shall we help you face it now? Nah, we'll let you bask in oblivion for a time yet.

So thrilled to hear this news, I'm sure it's a bit overwhelming and what an experience it will be:)
