April - Better Than Imagined

It was a year ago in Portugal that we discovered Laura was pregnant. Thanks to our expert grasp of Portuguese ("Positiva"), we deduced from the Test Kit that Laura was with Child! So at the holy pilgrimage site of Fatima, where Mother Mary appeared, we offered to our Lord Jesus Christ our first born, with a candle and prayer. Parenthood is better than we ever imagined!

J-Lo, eat your heart out!
