T-Minus 6 1/2 weeks and counting...

We had our party yesterday to celebrate our growing family! It was a long day (for this pregnant woman at least), but was a lot of fun. We were blessed to have many family and friends on both our sides present with us, not to mention the root-beer floats, cake and taco dip - it was a lovely day! Thank you to everyone who was able to be there with us!!!

We also took some family pictures - of Mike, baby(s) and I, as well as with those present from our larger families. Here are a few shots from the day:



My handsome husband, baby and I

A plaque we had made for Esperanza; it will hang in the baby's room, and we're glad that she will be watching over her new little brother or sister!

My parents; both our parents; and my Grandma Nystrom

All my siblings (and their partners and/or children) - and yes, we're as crazy a crew as we look...and proud of it! :)


Isaac learns about kegs (this one was only root-beer, but we're a bit scared that the general concept and excitement will carry over)...even so, he'll make a great (and cute) cousin!


Again, thank you to everyone who helped with our day, who came to celebrate with us, and who have offered your thoughts, prayers, help and support thus far - we are so blessed!!!
