a family picture



We are thrilled to tell you that we are prayerfully expecting a baby
 in the beginning of January!

Thanks be to God!




This is how we told the boys our good news this afternoon:
We gave the boys these signs and had our pictures taken. The whole time they were trying to guess
what it meant. Yes Tyler turned 2 today so he is growing, and yes they are getting bigger. But after running out of suggestions we told them the good news and Nate had such a great reaction. Liam was concentrating so hard on holding his sign right that he missed the whole thing. After the pictures were over he asked what it the signs meant. When we told him that we were going to have a baby he was besides himself with excitement. He told us over and over again how he loved babies (he does:) and went to find the baby name book to name this baby. What a joy it is to tell your children when they are older and understand it.
