a couple late announcements

I just realized that I failed to make two very important announcements at the end of July. The first and happiest was the arrival of Caleb's newest cousin, Danielle Louise Gemmer, on July 29th. She's beautiful and lucky to be part of such a wonderful family. I so can't wait to meet her next month.



The next is that Michael found out he has to go to Afghanistan afterall, sometime at the end of October, so the three of us will be coming to Washington on his pre-deployment leave in a few weeks. Caleb and I will be sticking around while he's away, and then come next September our happy family will be together forever :).
