New blog design!

I thought it was time to update our blog design (translation: time to get someone with actual skills to do it, not me). Melissa had already given me a wonderful 'volunteer' blog makeover (blogover) before she joined Blogovers with Love, but I wanted to be official this time around.

Anyway, I picked out a digital kit and from that mystifying mess of backgrounds and elements she worked her magic on it - the result is a great new design! I absolutely love it, and encourage all of you to spend a few hours staring at the amazing hair slideshow. Thank you, Melissa!

Our donation (and others like it this month) will go to Half the Sky Foundation, a charity organization that benefits orphaned children in China. My sister-in-law's daughter, Micayla, was actually in a Half the Sky program so we are very glad to be able to contribute. Thank you!

A final note: we changed the name of the blog from "Journey to Baby Lehman!' to "The Lehman Family Blog". The reason is that our journey to Christian is coming to an end and our journey as a family of three will start soon. Well, that and the fact that Jeff vetoed "Jeff and Amy's Excellent Adventure" - maybe he didn't want our blog to be associated with Keanu Reeves? Whatever, dude!

We are excited, thrilled, impatient - pretty much any adjective you can think of right now, including 'terrified' and 'occasionally nauseated'. But most of all we feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude that God has placed this precious little boy in our lives. We can't wait to get him... as soon as we finish the baby room!
