Excitement for 2009

It has been a while since the blog was updated, so we felt that a few thoughts should be shared.

Our friends Eva and Jason will be celebrating the birth of their twins in February. Logan and Amelia are growing like crazy and Eva looks great. We are looking forward to meeting the newest Browns and cannot wait to see Sara as a big sister.

We are very excited to be expecting our second neice, first one from Amy's side, in June. Jen and Ricky will be welcoming Sophie Elizabeth around June 3. This falls right during exams for Amy and that is definitely OK.

Mike and Sarah will be joining the married crew on July 25 at St. Matthew Catholic Church in Charlotte. It is the same church and priest that both Amy/Chris and Jen/Ricky had. We like to keep it in the family.

Adding to our own family is our wish for this coming year. With Garrett there was no preference when we delivered. That changed after having an almost Christmas baby and realizing the stress it adds to the holidays, especially for family. We are working to aim for a spring baby to coincide with maternity leave leading into summer. In theory, it would be great. If you ask Garrett, he says that he needs a little sister some days and a little brother other days. Luckily he hasn't asked for both at the same time.
