This little sister.....


come February, will be my dear, sweet, MIDDLE child:) That's right. It's not going to be just these two crazies for long: Although I will admit, I don't know how life could be ANY crazier, but I am sure it is possible---what a surprise:) I just went to the doc yesterday and heard the heartbeat and while the due date of Feb 6 is a bit fickle, for various reasons, it sounds about right:) We are having a sweet summer---these last weeks have been high-intensity family time. Wonderful. We had Jason's mom for a visit at the end of June while Jason was in the Boundary Waters, then she took Jonas back to their house for a few days, then we went down to pick up Jonas and visit Bailey at camp, then my family came into town and we celebrated the 4th and my Dad's b-day, then we headed to the cabin in Tomahawk and spent a few lazy days by the water, kayaking and swimming and kayaking and swimming:) Then, my brother and sister-in-law came for a visit. Lots and lots of memories. And tomorrow, these two handsome fellas of mine are in a wedding for this lovely couple: (on right:) We couldn't be happier for these dear friends!

Oh my gosh, Claire!!! Congratulations! So wonderful. I love your family so dearly and hope to see you again soon!
I'm in the eastern US (Ohio, New York, Boston..) for the next few weeks, traveling and visiting friends and family. I'm kind of off grid for bit, with limited internet access... So we should have a phone date soon. Love you, and CONGRATULATIONS!
