Three Baby Boys and Another Engagement

I need to update my blog more often, I know. I go just a couple of weeks without doing so, and find that there is too much to talk about by the time I'm able to write again.

Last Saturday (as in a week ago) was kind of weird. Jonelle invited me to go shopping with her, so I met her at Westroads and we spent a couple of hours wandering around. She was very pregnant last Saturday. As in due-any-day-pregnant. From the mall, I went directly over to Jenn's to hang out for awhile before church. Jenn, too, was very pregnant last Saturday. As in due-any-day-pregnant. Spending time with these ladies back to back was just kind of bizarre.

One week later, yesterday Charlotte and I went to the hospital and first met little Michael, Tim and Jonelle's son, who was born on Thursday. He has her nose, which is pretty adorable.

We then went up one level and saw little Tommy, Tom and Jenn's little guy, who was born last Sunday. He's still in the NICU because he has a heart condition and will be having surgery tomorrow morning. We all have high hopes because the surgery has a high success rate, but it's still a bit unnerving and if you're the praying the type, I know Tom and Jenn would appreciate your prayers that all goes well tomorrow morning.

It's been the year for baby boys. Two weeks ago, Matthew and I went to Amana for Easter, and that Saturday we went up to Cedar Rapids to spend time with Leslie and Matt and their kids Nolan (3) and Reese (1) and also with Josh and Katie and their kids Sophie (3), Abby (almost 2), and little Charlie, who was born back in February. It was fun to spend the afternoon with all of them, and also mind-boggling to see how their families have grown in the last five years since college. This is Charlie:

Anyway, if this week wasn't exciting enough with the news of these two new little boys, this also happened yesterday:

Yep, Justin and Morgan got engaged.

You miss a day around here and you miss a lot! I'll try to post more often to keep up! :-)
