When Three Become Four

Finally the time has come when we can proudly announce that we will be adding another little Hourigan to the family!  We are so excited to become a family of four and give Brooks a true best friend to share his life with.  I am sure we can all proclaim that our siblings have become our best friends (with time).  

Baby Hourigan will join the fam the last week of December.  Our due date is officially January 3rd, but with a scheduled c-section the doctors prefer to do it 1 week early. . . great tax bonus :)

Of course this little planner of a mom can't wait to find out the gender!  I am 13 weeks along, so we will find out pretty soon.  Keep your eye out for another post!  

Mom and Dad's 35th Wedding Anniversary

Until then here's some of our current happenings...

Cousin's came swimming with Brooks:

And 2 cute Brooks' stories for the road:

We were in Publix the other day and Brooks was sitting in the cart while I was getting a loaf of bread.  He kept saying, "Elmo, Elmo, Elmo" (or some fashion of the word).  I looked at him like, "What are you trying to say?"  Then I looked up to see a rack of sandwich Tupperware with Elmo's face on each one.  I had no idea he would recognize Elmo!

For months now Tim and I have been trying to get Brooks to fold his hands when we pray.  He has finally started doing it (although usually with a full mouth of food), but now when we finish praying he always adds on his own "Amen."  It melts my heart every time!
