We Are Having a Boy! And other Updates

We just found out a few weeks ago that we are having a BOY! We are very excited and grateful that everything looks healthy on our baby. Brinley was thrilled that the baby is a Brother! She now wants to talk to the baby and give him lots of hugs and kisses. She says that she also has a baby in her tummy but it's a girl :) She is so cute! I am so happy that I will be able to stay

home with her and the new baby. I am not returning to work in the fall.

I thought I would be a little more sad about it, but I am just grateful.

I thought I would add a few pics from the recent months, since I have been a slacker at updates.

This is from my brother Tom's wedding, May 2nd. Here she is with all her cousins. What a great-looking bunch!! Tom and Amy's wedding was a wonderful day for our family! We are so excited to officially have her as part of our family! Brinley was one of the adorable little flower girls. She was supposed to walk down the aisle first-she needed a little coaxing. And then at the end she had all these petals left so she just threw them right at Tom's feet it was so funny!

Brinley's favorite new thing-her Swingset! She would swing morning, noon and night if we would let her :)

This is what happens when Daddy babysits!!

Yes, this shirt was never the same...good thing it was $1 on clearance at Target :)

We Will Miss You Grandma Conder

We have sad news. Brian's Grandmother, Carol Conder, passed away last Monday June 8th. We were all deeply saddened and will miss her so much. We are sad that Brinley will not get to know her more. But I know she is with people who have been missing her and she has left the pains of this life behind and we will see her again. Brian was asked by his family to speak at the funeral service and he did an amazing job, and I am sure Grandma was smiling.

We will miss you, Grandma Conder!
