It's a Girl!

Yes, we are pleased to announce that another girl will be joining our family in March!  The ultrasound yesterday showed a healthy baby girl, due March 24.  Madeline and Michaela are over the moon about having a baby sister in the house, and they are the sweetest caretakers for a mommy who is been more tired than usual.  Jon jokes that baby sister will have three mothers to care for her.  Although we may soon need another bathroom, daughters are a blessing, and we feel so grateful to have a house full of them. 

Some very well-meaning people ask Jon occassionally how he feels about being the only male in the house.  Does he want a son?  Oh, how I wish those folks could see the complete adoration he receives in this house.  He is the recipient of daily buttefly kisses and bear hugs. He dances with pricesses in their royal garb who can't imagine dancing with any other prince but him.  In our humble castle, he is the strongest, smartest, funniest guy on earth.  Who wouldn't want to come home from a long day of slaying dragons to be met with such attention?  He is a lucky man indeed.
