Oh, and by the way...

Emily sends out this email yesterday giving an update about the kids and then almost casually mentions before she signs off that she's pregnant and due in September! This is such exciting news. Even better than hearing they're going to move back west, although that would be some really welcome news. Here is the email and the photos!

"Things are good right now. I am just glad that it is the middle of March and we are warming up here in Virginia (although rather slowly). The weather here is crazy, yesterday the high was 42 and today is supposed to be 70! Greg's mom is flying in today for the week and we are SO excited to have a visitor! We (especially me) really miss being able to see everyone on a regular basis.

Greg is taking boards this weekend and hopefully everything will go well! He is going to be up in Richmond Th, Fri, and Sat.

The kids are doing great. Oliver (16 mo) is such a smarty these days, he is learning all sorts of new words- including no. It's so funny, he obviously doesn't really know what it means. He and Elena are so funny together, he'll do something he knows she doesn't like and then he'll run away really fast as if to avoid her wrath. They really do entertain each other. Elena is still the same silly girl, her new thing is pretend cooking, actually her and Ollie both are into it. They get out my tupperware and bowls and silverware and I find it all over the house.

Another interesting new development for us is that we are expecting baby #3 this September. We are really excited and so far everything is going smoothly. Right now I'm 15 weeks along and our due date is Sept 3. My prediction so far is a girl but I've been wrong both other times, so we'll see.

That's about all that's new with us, we hope you are all doing great.

Love em
