Trick or Treat!

What a great Halloween with our little pumpkin! She loved trick or treating (walked 4 blocks worth of houses) and loved passing out candy even more!

Addison's New Shirt

Hope you all like my new shirt!
I'm not sure what the big deal is, but everyone seems excited around here! :-)

We feel so blessed to have this news to share! This song has so much meaning to me during this time after seeing other close family and friends struggle with fertility and recognizing that we all have our own big burdens in life to endure. The amazing thing is that through it all, God does not change. As a family, we celebrate Him in times of blessing and in the challenging times too.
Please pray for a healthy pregnancy and baby, due June 5th.
My 1st ultrasound will be November 2nd.
Addison already looks like a big sister doesn't she? :-)
