We're Expecting!!

We all got together last night to celebrate Grandma P's birthday, so it was the perfect time to share the news! These are pictures of the grandmas reading the following poem and realizing the big news...




"I do not have a face to see, or put inside a frame.
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss; I don't yet have a name.
You cannot hold my tiny hands, nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song, or cuddle me so near.
But all will change come April, when they say I'm due.
I'm your new grandchild; I can't wait 'til I meet you.
All I ask between now and then is your patience while I grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait, because of the love we'll know.
So as you're waiting patiently, Please pray lots of prayers for me.
I cannot wait to be a part of this awesome family!"

Yes, Ben and I are excited to announce that we are expecting another bundle of joy around April 6th! I am about 7.5 weeks along and have been pretty sick. I guess every virus and bug decided to attack my immune system while it was down because I got a stomach virus and then strep throat. I was on penicillin which aggrevated my morning sickness but now I'm finally done with the medicine! Today was better! I'm not complaining!

Here are a couple pictures of the birthday Grandma with her little girls.

Yes, excitin news, and cuz I was a year older, took me awhile to figure it out, but a cute way of telling us. Enjoyed the Birthday Supper ( thanks ) and the wonderful birthday news....(although we left a yard with a fallen mess of trees, and a BIG MESS). Thanks to all you commenters for Birthday Wishes. Special thanks to Kara and Donna for lending us their men for Saturdays cleanup....Certainly Appreciated, very very much...
