A Family Of Three

we have been married for four years when E was born. we tried to get pregnant for 24 months before we finally got that little pink plus sign. we have gone through so much (up and down) but still somehow it still feels like we're dating. Scott is such a wonderful husband, he desires nothing less then to be the best dad. Scott is a great friend and works hard at keeping those relationships close. we are adapting to a life with another little being. i think we're doing quite well. I am so excited for life right now and can only imagine what great things God has for us in the future.
