Things to Look Forward To

Once when my sister and I were little girls, we went to the pediatrician for a check-up and Elizabeth walked in holding her baby doll by one arm. She was a tiny little thing and the doll was fairly good sized, and looked pretty real. The nurse at the front desk glanced up and immediately ran towards Elizabeth thinking the doll was a real baby.

This picture is not a real baby. It's my little friend Liv's baby doll that was taking a nap under her seat. I wanted to put a different picture up for this post, but my camera stopped downloading before the last few pictures were safely on the computer... so I opted for this one until trouble-shooting proves successful.

The picture I wanted to download is one of some t-shirts we recently bought to send to our families. They say on the front "Made in Brooklyn". When GK's mom got the package she thought it was for her dog, because although they would be way too big for Reggie, the itsy bitsy t-shirt is just big enough for either a half-shirt for Kayla or a full size t-shirt for our very own... little Risser!

That's right, right about the time I was philosophizing about the moral implications of carrying on the name of GK Risser (unbeknownst to me) a little parasite was attaching itself to my womb. Now if you're still reading you may be wondering what the final decision was on the handing down of the name. Well stay tuned. We've taken your opinions to heart and completely ignored them all and come July 23 we'll reveal what this little baby's cross to bear will be.

But all joking aside... we are thrilled to be expecting our first little one. We know we have been incredibly blessed, and we are grateful to be able to share the news with so many of our wonderful family and friends!
