A cousin on the way!

Today we got the great news that Auntie Mels' water broke!  We are still waiting to hear a final doctors verdict as she is three weeks early with her first.... but by the sounds of it things are moving!  We are all so excited to meet the newest addition to the family - he or she will be greatly loved!  As you did for us, send some positive thoughts for Melanie & Todd today and the arrival of their little bundle of love.

In honor of our new cousin's arrival (three short weeks after Owens arrival) we are making the sandcastle brownies that Melanie & Todd sent us for Christmas.  A perfect way to celebrate...I do say so myself!
