it's almost time to meet little baby boy willeford!

as many of you know, paul and i are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our very first nephew!!! it's so hard to be all the way across the country from diane & jason during this exciting time in their lives, but it's finally official... we are going to fly home on october 10th to meet the little one! nugget's (as he is fondly called until he is born and then his name will finally be revealed) due date is september 27th. since diane is considered "high risk" (due to her blood clot) her physicians have said they will not let her go past her due date... sarah, charles, paul and i have been making bets as to when lil' nugget will be born... i think the 20th, sarah thinks the 22nd (i can't remember what dates paul and charles decided on)... no matter what day he comes, this little boy is going to be so welcomed and loved by his family!

diane sent me some pictures yesterday of her growing belly!!! especially with this time off from school, i wish i could be there with her and feel that little boy kick away (paul got to feel him kick last time we were home, but i missed out... sadness!). she says she and jason are working on packing their hospital bag and they have been attending their helpful childbirth classes... they are going to be such wonderful, prepared parents!

please send some thoughts and prayers their way as they embark on the last few weeks of their pregnancy!!! we love you, diane & jason & lil' nugget!!!

[that's our little nephew in there!!!]...
p.s. how adorable is that nursery!!!
