Growing

There are a few things growing around here. First, and most importantly, are our families. My 2nd brother and sister-in-law just announced they are expecting number 3. They have two boys, so we are rooting for a girl this time. Here is a picture of the eight cousins on my side of the family.




I don't have a recent picture of the 7 cousins from Nathan's side, because we haven't been all together since last November. Nathan's older brother and his wife had a beautiful baby girl last week, and his sister told us yesterday that they are now expecting their 3rd as well. We love all these nieces and nephews!

The other, and much less important, things that are growing around here are our grass and pumpkins. Our grass got its first trim this week, and the pumpkins continue to take over the sidewalk. The picture of the grass below shows the girls on their "racetrack."
