Mawwidge...

2007 is an auspicious year for the Brown/Garriepy families.

Mark and I are producing an heir. My brother and Dyanna got married, formalizing his family circle.

Now we discover that Mark's youngest brother, who is Army Military Police Reserve, is being deployed to Iraq, possibly before the Christmas holidays, and is planning to marry his fiancee before he goes. This doesn't shock anyone, but the timing is challenging, since they want to have their wedding within days of our due date. So, I have to have a chat with our unborn son about when he's going to arrive.

Hopefully the old adage about first babies being late is true...
