    Yes, I remember and at the time it was just a funny drawing, no meaning? Do you have news to share?

    Oh my! The second I saw this the first time around I was like, “Yippee Jesus – you’re going for 9 but THEN you broke my little heart with your announcement that it was comical to you cause it looked like sperm…” (LOL)…but now you must be making the announcement – and we, over here in our hotel room in CO are tickled pink or blue?? Do tell!! And we will pray you all home again- naturally!! xo

    Yes, it must be #9!?! I remember the first post (I did not get the significance of the number that so many others saw; I saw sperm, too! Not that you needed to know that …) Anyway, really, really, really … going back for another sweet kiddo?!

    All the best,

    Get OUT!!!! Okay…you’d HAVE to know we would all think this!! Have things changed since Oct. ’08!?!? I can’t wait to find out what this means!! If it’s not what we are all thinking…maybe you are going to be adding a “child” through marriage? Like maybe Tori getting married? That’s my 2nd guess. :o)

    I’m going to guess some important person in your life, maybe you haven’t met them yet, is 9 yrs old or $900 or $9000 was raised for adoption purposes. I’m in suspense, so please hurry and tell us!
