  1. We did this too….two little girls and then a little boy.
    I remember feeling a bit hesitant at first ~ feeling like I didn’t know what to expect mothering a little guy.  Now, well….i wouldn’t trade it for the world!

    I know you’re going to have a blast being introduced to the world that little boys know and love!
    Congratualtions, Clarita!!!

  8. Since I can’t be there in person, I guess I’ll just communicate with you in every way possible: phone, FB, xanga, snail mail?? oh and then there’s texting . . . and we could get into tweeting and instagram if we had cool phones. Oh well . . . just wanted to tell you again how excited I am for you, and how cuUte he is. What a sweet, sweet blessing! Praying for you as you transition into three children and being a family of FIVE!! {Doesn’t that just sound crazy??} Love you.
