Big News!

What do the three of us have in common?

Yes the three of us are sister in laws. Yes the three of us live 3 minutes apart. Yes the three of us are really close friends. Yes the three of us have brown hair. Yes the three of us have "S" in us (It is a type in the DISC personality test that is for sensitive). Yes the three of us have big smiles. Yes, the three of us are married to incredible men. Yes the three of us have the privledge to enjoy Mike and DeAnn as our Mom and Dad. But what I want to highlight in this picture is that three of us are all pregant in this picture representing first trimester with me, 2nd trimester with Susan, and 3rd trimester with Leah. What a joy it is to journey through life with these amazing women.

Noah is also excited about the news of having a new baby. He already knows where the baby is. Here is a little video of him:


So to top off my birthday, the Lord gave me a wonderful surprise, my nephew Ezekiel "Zeke" John Blake was born at 11:26pm. He was 9lbs and 2 ounces and 20 inches long. What a gift from God he is. Thank you Jesus. Here is a picture of me and my friends Sam and Cassie who were waiting with the family for the baby. Sam is pointing to me since it was my birthday.

Noah does get cuter every day, if that's possible. And Eric and I couldn't be more excited about your new baby! We kept talking about it randomly after you called with the big news. It's like a delicious surprise that you get to enjoy over and over again. We love you guys!
