Foto Friday--What? You Didn't Know We Were Expecting?

I pulled that joke on my blog four years ago.  It was true. I don't think my mom has quite forgiven me yet.

No.  We weren't expecting a new baby. But we've been expecting a new son from . . .

He arrived this week.

I love FaceTime.  I got to meet his mama, and he got to talk to his family as long as we wanted.
His name is James (Jah-mez) and he is awesome.  He will be staying with us until May 12 (the Saturday before Tucker comes home), going to school and playing rugby and doing all things American like going to Tilly's and eating at Sonic (two items already checked off his list).

We love him already.

Have a great weekend.  There's a big race here tomorrow, in case you haven't heard.

I am on my way to pick up my bib right now.  13.1 miles seems so much longer when you're running it through your own neighborhood.  In fact, the race is passing less than a quarter mile from our front door.  I hope to see my kiddos out there cheering for me!

  7. Good luck on your run! I would love to be able to do something like that, but since I can't, enjoy it for the both of us.
    Lots of fun at your house now! Enjoy the new "son" and before you know it, Tucker will be home!
