Ok, so if you have been keeping up with this page at all (or us for that matter!) you know that Ceci is pregnant.  Well, we have already named our boy (yes it is a boy!) Asher for one of his names but we are still struggling with the second name, which will actually be the first name because we are fairly certain Asher will be his middle name.  Of course, we will call him "Asher" regardless of the other name. This is similar to Mark's brother Earl, whose entire name is "Robert Earl Proeger" but who has always gone by "Earl" except when he was selling arms to the Iranians in the early 80's but we digress. 

If  you want to see pictures of pregnant Ceci....we have downloaded them onto the page called "pregnant Ceci" (we found that to be a very creative and appropriate name....let us know what YOU think!).  Now I am highly biased (this is Mark speaking) but I think she is the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen. I am going to miss hugging her and thinking that she has swallowed a basketball, but I am sure I can grow to appreciate her flat tummy again someday.

Ceci (ok, Mark) has joined one of those embarassing multi-level marketing companies to try and replace Ceci's income.  It is actually surprisingly cool because it has one purpose and one purpose only:  to sell electricity. Evidently now that electricity has been deregulated there are a lot of small companies getting into the fray. We joined this one called "Stream" because it is FREE to join (unless you are doing the multi-level marketing thing) and your electric bill is about 8-15% cheaper than normal. So, if you want to save some money on your electric bill and not spend any money switching, then just go to this site: http://asher.igniteinc.biz/index.asp (notice we named it after asher!) and join Ignite (which is the parent company name for Stream Electric).  Nothing changes about your electric service except who you receive your bill from.  The same people fix it, the same grid powers it etc. The only change is the bill will have a new name on it, Stream, and it should be 8-15% cheaper.......Thanks for supporting Asher's college fund!

Life Updates
Can you believe we have already been married for 2.5 years!?!?!?? We can't either, but it has been great. Mark is still pastoring college students at our home church in Austin, Texas (Hope Chapel) as well as a sister church (Red River) and he loves it very much.
Cecilia is working with foster kids through the Bair Foundation foster care agency. However, she is planning on taking some time off to have our child. We could update our pictures (and we will at some point) but we are fairly lowtech and don't have a digital camera yet.
