Tiny Miracle

For some time now, Corey and I have been wanting a little one in our family. Just as we were seeing doctors and undergoing testing, the doctor told me his conclusion: Either I had one of three diagnoses OR I was pregnant. In my mind, the pregnancy diagnosis was out of the question since we'd been trying for so long. After doing a pregnancy test (which read positive), it took the doctor to tell me "congratulations!" for me to believe we were pregnant! It was a miracle. We certainly know we are not in control, and that there is Someone who oversees all things. We are convinced that all things happen in their own time, when they need to. He is the Creator. We are so thankful for this tiny miracle in our lives and thank so many for their prayers and love.




Luckily Tiny, the nickname we gave the babe on our first ultrasound when he/she was 2.3 cm, sat still for a minute so we could snap a good profile shot. We are now at 14 weeks making our due date Nov. 19. A perfect month to express our gratitude for this little blessing. The above ultrasound is at 12 weeks! We'll be sure to let you all know the gender in a month or so. :)

Private

Friends and family,
Corey and I have decided to go private with our blog, but would love you to visit our blog any time. Please let me know if you'd like to still visit our blog!

Newport Ball

We went to the cozy town of Newport, RI this last weekend and had a ball! We dressed up all fancy schmancy and danced in one of the mansions along the coast. It was fun to be around friends we've gotten to know throughout the year. I regret not taking more of the pictures at the ball--I must not have been in a picture-taking mood. It never hurts to take too many pics! On Saturday we toured the harbor and then went to visit the famous Breaker Mansion--"summer" home of the Vanderbilt family. It was sold to a preservation committee for only $360,000 when it is worth millions. This place is spacious--4 spouts come with each tub (2 for salt water, 2 for fresh water). This home easily compares to a palace in Europe. It's incredible! If you ever visit the East, Newport is a must and the mansions are worth seeing!

Heidi, the Boston Marathon Runner

We were super lucky to cheer Heidi along with her family (Dave, Heather, and Alan)! It was incredible to think someone could run 26 miles and then some with a smile on their face until the end! Talk about motivating! We had a great time and it was fun to spend the weekend with them! Thanks for letting us be a part of the run!

Patriot's Day

We just happened to see this reinactment while touring Lexington and Concord with our friends from Utah! It really set you back a few years to the time of the minutemen and regulars. There's a reason an entire day is dedicated to the Patriots who fought in behalf of our country. As Corey and I have been here, we've realized it took a lot more than we understand to have liberty and freedom in this country.
