Tennis Lessons

The rain finally stayed away on Eleanor's tennis day, so she got to try out her new class.  She had a great attitude, caught on to the games quickly, and really improved her hitting in less than one hour.  Eleanor reported that she had a great time!  Way to go, Sis!

Caleb's face says it all!

We found out at our family sonogram appointment that it's a... BOY!!!

His name is going to be Owen O'Brien, and we have so much love to give him!

Third Trimester: feeling like Owen could fall out any day now, shortness of breath, end to morning sickness at 7 months,
