This is turning out to be quite a year for our household!

Earlier this year, Jen learned that she was being inducted into not one but two(!) honor societies! Her major is Elementary Education, so she was invited to join Kappa Delta Pi, the Honor Society in Education (picture above, thanks to Tina).

Jen is minoring in History and so was also invited to join Phi Alpha Theta, another honor society. What a geek!

As many of our friends and family are aware, we are in the process of buying a house. We expect to close on May 25th and can’t wait to move in. The house is part of an estate, being sold by the daughters of man who recently passed. As you might imagine, there is plenty of work waiting for us, but nevertheless we are all super excited about the move.

Well, except for Bri…..but she’ll get over it, because……
Jen’s pregnant!

We found out on Bri’s birthday, so it was only natural that Bri announced it to the family at her birthday party this past Saturday. Most people were shocked, presumably because they’d all given up on us having another kid. But I shocked all my critics and pulled it off in the end!

Naturally, it’s much too early to know much more that the due date, which, for now, is pegged at Dec 17th. This is going to be a December baby, just like me. This is my big opportunity; I’ve been given the chance to right all the wrongs of my childhood. This kid’s gonna receive two gifts! One for his birthday and one for Christmas! bwaaahahaha!

Anyway, we don’t find out the sex until August sometime. I don’t know how I’m going to hold out. And for the record, I’m cool with either. But I would love to know. Three more months is going to kill me…..
