meet Marie :-)

In case you haven't heard, we're thrilled to announce that Katherine has a little sister!

We had an "announcement" party at Uncle Tom's on Sunday, complete with cake balls to announce our little girl. One cake ball was dyed pink in the middle-- we forgot to snap pictures before Aunt Mary ate it, but it was fun to celebrate with family.

We've decided on the name Marie, although her middle name is still undecided. Now that we've seen some good photos of Marie, she seems ready to announce herself a bit more too. She's been kicking for a couple weeks now where only Mommy could feel her, but lately her kicks have been big enough that Daddy can sometimes feel them too!!

It was also a lot of fun to see all the progress Uncle Tom has made on his house!! It's almost ready for the market as you can see in these pictures:

We're very proud of Uncle Tom, and we're of course very excited about our baby girl (although to be fair, we'd be thrilled with a baby boy too... or even both)!! ;-)
