Oh Baby...


I'm going to be an aunt and Brad is going to be an uncle! We are SO excited my sister-in-law Kristin and my brother, Brandon (aka B and K) are expecting their first child in March! They are going to be wonderful parents and I just can't wait to love that kid...and be its favorite aunt, of course :)
So, I have a ton of pictures of/with them but this one always makes me laugh every time I see it.

What's so great, too, is that I'm going to be an "aunt" x3 in 2011. Some of my best friends are expecting as well...

Elise and Clayton are expecting the same week as B and K! I've known Elise since we were in diapers and have shared many great times with her. You can read all about Elise's journey with her pregnancy here. I'm so excited for them! The first PPhiG baby!

Shannon and I met in New Orleans the fall of 2005. When hurricane Katrina kicked us out of the city I spent the next four months in Houston with her as we worked as semester missionaries. We still keep in touch and I love the honesty in our friendship. Shannon was told many years ago having children naturally may not be a possibility for her. Nevertheless, Shannon and her husband, Jonathan never doubted the Lord was capable of doing anything. Shannon and Jonathan are expecting a boy at the beginning of 2011 and I am so happy for them!

Sara Beth and I got to know each other better at a time when I was in desperate need for an encouraging and present (as in same city) friend. We soon found out that my dad and aunts grew up with her parents...instant connection if you have relatives from the small town of Fayetteville, TN. Sara Beth and Josh are going to be great parents!

Bring on the baby showers!
