Our Greatest Joy

It is with the greatest joy, Laura and I announce we are expecting our first child.  As we celebrate Grandma Aggie's birth into eternal life, we also joyously anticipate a new birth.   As of this blog posting, Laura is now 15 weeks and 4 days pregnant, our due date is June 24, 2009.  However, these ultrasounds were taken a bit earlier at 11 1/2 weeks. Rather than talk to death all of the various emotions and thoughts we are having, I thought I would just keep it simple and share some pictures and video of the ultrasound.  We do plan to find out the gender, but that ultrasound won't occur until early February.  Make sure you catch the videos we got on ultrasound too, especially the beating heart!  Thank you Lord for giving us this incredible blessing!
