A Fifth Smith

We apologize for the dearth of posts over the last few months. In addition to the usual holiday activities and traveling, we were also trying to keep up with an especially busy Evan, who decided around 17 months (November) that he was ready to walk. He's all over the place, usually chasing after a "BALL!" or trying to entice various family members into a game of tackle football or, most recently, throwing things--e.g., a tube of chapstick, a toy saw, a train engine--in the toilet. More on all of that in another post--hopefully sooner than later.

And as many of you have heard and the title of this post implies, we are so very excited about this summer, when we will welcome another member to our family. Our littlest one is due June 26, just a couple days before big brother Evan's second birthday. I'm about 16 weeks and feeling good, which is most fortunate given the aforementioned busyness of our household. Happy New Year, y'all!
