in lieu of cards the gals encouraged books! we received so many wonderful books with such sweet handwritten sentiments...not only will the little man be a book worm...he'll be able to read and see how much he was loved before he ever arrived!

let the games begin...ms. meghan made the cutest game full of predictions about life and situations once the little man arrives. the twist...the answers were according to miss mk {remember she's 3}! it was quite fun to hear each other's answers to the questions!

b and i love our pittsburgh family...they have given us the security and support that is so needed while we are so far from home. we are so thankful that as we become a family of three that our "village" is made up of such special people that will help us raise the little man while we are far from home for a little while longer.
