Its a . . .

We are so happy to be announcing that we just found out the new baby joining our family around August 8th will be a GIRL!  We are pleasantly surprised and excited.  I never thought I would be the mother to an son and then three girls right in a row.  For those of you who know my family, you know that this is the opposite way for me!  I am the oldest, with four younger brothers, and Bryce's mom had three boys right in a row.  Needless to say, the grandmas are ecstatic once again.  We are so blessed!

Kids are growing up fast . . .

and for those who have not yet heard, we are pleased to announce that we are adding another precious baby to the bunch.  Yes, baby #4 is due to arrive August 8th.  And, we hope, no sooner than that!  Natalie is ECSTATIC to hold and help take care of a newborn.  Tyler would like to know if this baby is a boy or girl, so that he can attach a name too it.  Michelle has no idea whats going to hit her come end of summer.  We are very happy, and cannot wait to meet our new little one.  Well, I can wait.  I can wait a full 40 weeks :)  I mostly want a healthy baby so I will do what it takes.

Gramma Pearl

Gramma Pearl passed away this past April.  We have been thinking of her often lately, and wish we could tell her again how much we love and miss her.  She was such a joy to be around, and our family is so grateful for the opportunity we will have to one day be with her again.  Here are a few precious pictures of her with my children, whom she loved dearly.  We were also fortunate enough to be able to attend her funeral in Napa, CA.
