"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

Introducing....

We just wanted to introduce all of you to the newest addition to our family. We are beyond excited and still in shock a little bit! I am 10 weeks along today and not feeling so great, but that's okay. Our due date is March 21, 2010...which seems forever away but will come before we even know it!

Our one and only camping trip of 2009

We went camping and had a great time! It was so nice to get away for a little bit and enjoy each other. Emily LOVED everything to do with camping...the creek, the fire, the tin foil dinners, the s'mores, and mostly...the tent. She thought sleeping in a tent was the best thing ever and wants to do it every night now. (Which is tempting because she hasn't slept that great in weeks!)
