Tis the season to be with Family (and start one...)

We have had alot of wonderful things happen to us this year and capped it off with a great christmas with both of our families. Our biggest surprise was finding out that we are pregnant with our first child due next summer! We must admit we were'nt trying nor expecting to try for some time down the road but the Lord has different plans for us. Now that we are over the initial shock and our families are onboard and excited, we are really excited too! First visit to the doctor and everything checked out great! Amanda's pretty nauseous and tired but hanging in there! We'll post updates and we anticipate the next few months and the arrival of our little one! Thanks for everyone's prayers and support!

Congratulations you guys, that is wonderful news. Hope you are feeling better soon Amanda. Oh, and go on dates as much as you can because when the baby comes life will change and you wont have quite as much time together, but it's worth it. Babies are the sweetest of blessings!

To the comment above about "enjoy the time". I think that is an unfinished thouhgt so I'll finish it: "enjoy the time before the baby comes and then endure the time after the baby comes... at least for the first few months."

Dude, our baby is way cuter looking on the widget then yours! We'll enjoy it while it lasts. It looks like it might be a girl.
