First Comes Love...

The news is spreading quickly, so it's time to announce it officially: I'm pregnant and due September 8th! We found out New Years Eve morning and are beyond excited to meet our newest little one.  We will be finding out the gender soon but would be thrilled either way. I would adore having another baby girl (I suppose that's my preference), but I think having two boys close in age would be pretty amazing, too. And I can't wait to see what George will be like as a big brother (he adores babies!!)

Joe! You're a year and a half.  This is crazy.

You yell at other kids on the playground.  I believe you think it's yours since half the time there are no other kids there when we go play You've also begun pushing Sissy when she makes you mad.  For better...
