Announcement

Katie and I are sitting here getting pedicures. It is quite relaxing! Who knew that nail salons offer free wi-fi and use of their computers??

Anyway, we just wanted to take a moment to announce that Ryan and I will be adopting a baby BOY in August! :) We went to the ultrasound with Katie this morning, and we are so excited!

We are having a great weekend and have loved meeting Katie, Drew, and their families. I will write more later, but I couldn't resist making the announcement now.

Now, back to our pedis!

:)

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!! Little boys are so much fun!!!! The only advice I have is to remember to check pockets. Little boys tend to bring home rocks, snakes and snails! :) Enjoy your pedi's!!!

Well, I like little boys. A lot. Max will have lots to teach him. Congrats! I hope Katie knows she picked the best parents she could have picked. It must be so hard though. She sounds like a great girl!

Hooray! ( I would say that for either, I quite like both!) I'm glad you are having a great time- you've been on my mind. I'm sure it was awesome for you to see the ultrasound of your son to be. Thanks to Katie for having you be part of this amazing time. You and Ryan will be great parents!
