an announcement

anyone who reads my blog already knows the news, but i thought i should make it official.
i am happy to announce that we are expecting our fifth child.
this ultrasound picture is from just nine weeks, a new life is truly amazing.

we took advantage of having both sides of the family together to tell them all in person.
it was a celebration for christopher's 13th birthday at our home.
here's how we told them all:

this is only the second time i've posted a video, so i hope it works.
we are all very excited about this new little one on the way.
and i can't believe how fast the pregnancy has already gone by, i am half way there!
