A Dave Chmelka Update

Okay, this is not the official Dave Chmelka Update. This is some news I just received via Eric Nesheim and okayed by Dave to put on the blog. As you read this, you will gather bits of information on Dave's life, but Dave says he'll try to do his own update before the reunion so you will can get the full story. If this doesn't happen, Dave will be attending the reunion, so you can quiz him there.

CHMELKA NEWS

Dear Family & Friends,

I wanted to share with you all some special news about an unexpected blessing in our family. Dayna is 5 months pregnant! We weren't exactly planning for a third child, in fact we were pretty comfortable with Dylan in Kindergarten and Taylor in 2nd grade, but life doesn't always work out the way you plan.

The initial shock of this news took a while for us to get use to, but now that time has passed, we have become very excited about the idea of having a bigger family and getting another chance at experiencing the joys of an infant. Don't get me wrong, we are definitely nervous about the thought of starting over, and a little overwhelmed with the idea of having 3 kids, but ultimately we are looking forward to the birth of our 3rd child at the beginning of February 2008. At this point we've decided to add a little more mystery to the situation and not find out the sex of the baby but we might change our minds because both Dayna and I like to plan ahead.

Sorry that we weren't able to share this special news with you in person but given all of our busy lives, we decided we better inform you now before our new child is born. Thanks for all your support in our lives in the past, present and future.

Love always,

Dave & Dayna Chmelka

PS - Taylor & Dylan are very excited about the news. Here is a picture of them right when we told them the special news.
