Mothers

On Mother's Day we took a picture of all the mothers present. Carrie was included although she laughed that she wasn't a mother. I joked, "you never know, you might have a little one in there!" She called a few days later from her doctor's appointment telling me... "You were right, I'm pregnant!"
(Me, Christine, Carrie and Mickey)

So, in honor of our baby sister becoming a mother, Christine and I (without kids, well... just Ben joined us) took her to lunch. Something we haven't done for at least three years! It was really fun to talk to her about being pregnant, childbirth, and everything else you could think of.
(here we are at our, oh... four hour lunch!, don't mind the shoddy picture, it was the classic hold the camera out and squeeze in to get us all in the frame!)

We are so excited for you Carrie and Dan!
(On Mother's day with Ben before they knew that they were expecting their own little baby!)

I am glad for Carrie. You were all babies once together and now the circle of life has you all holding babies of your own.
