We're home from our wonderful trip to California, where we spent 10 fun filled days. We can now happily announce that we are expecting BABY #2 July 12. We kept it a secret so we could surprise our families Christmas Day...(sorry to all of you that I kept it from, or even lied to.) Since we weren't going to see my family, we sent them a Christmas card that said "Don't Open Until Christmas" with the picture at the bottom and had them open it while we were on the phone. It was hilarious because my oldest sister Laura opened it a couple days before Christmas on accident. Then, she revealed to me that she was pregant also...crazy!!! So, we decided to surprise everyone together...it was fun.

With Tyler's family, my sister-in-law Emma is also expecting and we devised a plan over Skype. They would announce that they were introducing to Tyler's parents Grandchildren #10 and #11, which everyone thought meant they were having twins...Tyler and I quickly chimed in and said "actually we're giving you grandchild #11." It was fun to surprise everyone. It seems like nearly all our friends are having babies, so it's crazy to think how many new babies will be coming into the world this year. We are very very blessed and so grateful the Lord has allowed this to happen for us again. We are praying it happens soon for other members of our family that are awaiting patiently for the same blessing. Christmas pictures and details of our trip will be coming soon.
