Johnny and Laurel came over two weeks ago with some very big news. See this link to the post I have been waiting to publish CLICK HERE , but waited to post until today. The story goes like this.... We had planned all week to come over on Friday to celebrate mom's birthday which was September 20th. The entire time we had been setting it up to take mom out to dinner and have Maggie come play for a bit. The entire time, Johnny and I had been plotting to have him and Laurel surprise Mom by coming home to Dade City unexpectedly. They were coming home to tell Mom and Dad the really big news- see surprise number two. Here is the video of Johnny surprising mom by being home for her birthday dinner.

After we chatted a bit and before deciding where to go to dinner, I had told mom that we should just open presents before dinner because Maggie would be too tired to wait up. Thus the biggest surprise ever is below when mom opens her present and finds a frame that has a sonogram of Johnny and Laurel's baby!!



This was one of my favorite days of all time. To celebrate the news that my brother and his beautiful wife are going to have a baby is just so wonderful. We had a great meal at Outback after we all settled down a bit. Johnny and Laurel will be wonderful parents and I am so happy that Maggie will have a cousin that is close in age and that they will get to play together, build forts together, go to Disney World together and so much more! Our family is so blessed!
