Sometimes people say that good things come in small packages.... Well a very small, but exciting addition to the Mark Brooke Family is on its way, and no it is not Jeffrey our amazingly small dog...Its a baby boy.
I was not planning on sharing the news until it became obvious we were pregnant.... well last wedding I guess I was showing because people started smiling at mark and I and saying "congratulations"... So we felt it was due time to share the RAD news
