Changing it up...

So we are officially not homeowners anymore. We closed on our cute, little, first house on Wednesday night and are now at my mom's house for about six months while we start the building process of our new home. We are sad to leave our cute neighborhood and friends and will miss having our own space, but it is a means to an end.

And while we were at it we decided to continue with more big changes and will be adding a baby BOY to our family in October. We are so excited to have another little one join our family and are grateful for good health. It has been hard keeping a secret but thought it would be fun to wait until we knew what we were having. (And for the record, I had a strong feeling it was a boy from day one and was pleased to see my impressions confirmed at the ultrasound today.)

The girls are excited, although Lily was disappointed when the ultrasound tech said it was a boy. She had been praying for a baby sister, but we know she'll love our little boy just as much as she would have a second sister.
And now onward and upward....a means to an end.(disclaimer: this is not an actual photo of our baby--just an example)

Jill, OH MY GOODNESS!!! CONGRATULATIONS! One the last times we talked you said you (mostly Andrew) was feeling done with just your girls. I am so surprised and so happy for you guys...especially about the boy. Oh man, he's gonna be in for it with two older sisters! hahah! But I think Andrew will love having another man around the house. That is really so excited. So much going on for you guys. Where are you going to build? I hope you have been feeling well. Congrats!

YEAH.. we are so STINK' excited for you. Can't believe you haven't spilled the news until now.. I know so many people due after you. Anyway, you'll LOVE having a boy, and I know Andrew will really love having another guy to do guy things with. Let me know if you ever want to meet at the dino park or Hogle Zoo or even for a park date sometime.. we'd be up for it.
