PREGNANT!!!! Yay - we're so excited for July! :) Thanksgiving day with the Zemmers and Daniel. Also the day we shared our exciting news!!!!
Look at the table, not our faces - I promise we were happier than we look! :)

Choosing and cutting down our tree... we went with the McNeese family and had a lot of fun.




Doesn't the tree look funny?






Ben was pretty tired out that day - coming down with something, so he rested while Daniel and I finished decorating.
Thanks for your help Bro! :)

Even Baby has a stocking. (By the way, Baby goes by many names: Lima Bean, Watermelon, Peanut, Pookey, and Cory)
These are pictures of the effects of an ice storm in Indiana. Beautiful!

Our Christmas... what fun!


We were able to spend a couple days at Ben's parents. It was lots of fun.


Baby's not even here yet, but got tons of presents for his first Christmas! Thank you grandparents, aunts and uncles!!!! :)
This is sooooo cute to me! I love the Brazil outfit! Baby will be all ready for the copa! :) Thank you both sets of grandparents! :)

Fall 2008...

Here are a couple of pictures of when I had all my carnal wisdom taken from me. I'm very spiritual now.

We had Jayro Cácires, Tia Ivanice and Davi over. They were visiting Ben's parents. Davi stayed with us. Fun to talk Portuguese!

We went camping with Daniel and Michael last weekend. We went camping last night too... not something I want to do EVERY weekend, but it sure was fun! :)
