Dia de Amor y Amistad (Valentines Day)

The title of this day, in Spanish, is the day of friendship and love. So, as a staff we enjoyed the classic comida China in Tijuana together. You may be surprised to know that there is a large Chinese population in the city and therefore some pretty good Chinese food available.

And here we are at 24 weeks pregnant and counting. The smile on Ryan's face isn't really that exaggerated...he's pretty excited to meet this little baby.  

Sisters

So, who's really pregnant?

This was taken a week later at Melissa & Mike's house. Liss is quite content to be the Aunt right now.
In fact, their dog, Dodge, is quite content to be their child.  Also pictured is Steph's grandma who is on a road trip with her grandpa visiting grandkids around the States.

To explain the above photo...

We took a poll with our staff the day of our last doctors appointment. You can see who (which gender) guessed right. The frown on Andrew's face may be something his parents saw a lot of each time one of his seven sisters was born.
