Ok, so I’ve finally stopped with all the teasing and came out with it….we are having another baby! (AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!) Did you see my new animation in my blogsite header? (There is ANOTHER new one!) If you can’t see it, and you come here often, you will need to hit refresh. (Mom, that’s the little arrows…

I’m taking a break from making big announcements (yes, another one to come soon!) to show what we woke up to today. Our first snow of the winter. Miles is finally old enough to really get into playing out in the snow and John was in heaven. Miles’ earmuffs squish his cheeks and flatten his…

Thanks for this, Betsy. I needed to smile after we’ve been told our flight would be delayed and we’d miss our connection flight to Seattle. This just melted all of that away…
-
So sweet!
-
that snowman would make a great christmas card….what a treasure.
-
What a great snowman!! I wanted to go out and build one yesterday, too. Miles has to be having so much fun!
-
Jealous. We didn’t get enough for a snowman. He’s just adorable all bundled up.

I also meant to post my comment under your studio space post. Ooops! Hope it makes sense now.
We FINALLY got our tree and the rest of our decorations up and it feels great! Miles was so adorable and wanted to help with everything. He heard John and I say to each other, “Awwww, remember this ornament?” and Miles would grab one and run up to us saying, “Remember this one?” He’s so…

I just wanted to let you know how touching and encouraging your post was to me. This is my first holiday of many to come where I will learn to continue through without three special people I have lost this past year. You were open and honest about the fact that the pain does not always get better sometimes it gets worse. I want to Thank You for the bit of Honesty. Very few people are so open these days in regards to grief, I believe that is why I love reading your Blog and looking at your work, you show You! in the good times and the bad. Thank You for being Open!
-
bets, youre my hero.
i admire you so much.
-
not depressing at all – a wonderful reminder to live for now. you are one amazing lady betsy! i appreciate your thoughtfulness to share your thoughts, feelings, on your blog.
-
What a touching post Betsy…a wonderful reminder how precious life is and how blessed we truly are. Seriously though, can Miles get any cuter?
-
its funny i love christmas, i love the holidays, i love what it represents, but sometimes when you think about who isn’t here it makes me want to rush through them and get them done. the time through thanksgiving through the beginning of february have become such a bittersweet time. thinking of you and understanding…
-
prayers and hugs your way!! you are so real and genuine. i love that. i cant wait to hear more about the great things brewing in your life! 🙂 happy holidays!
-
Betsy, I think your post is beautiful. It is a reminder to me, personally, to cherish every moment. Especially during the holiday season, and to make lasting memories for my family. Also, it reminds me to take things slower, and to remember, that perhaps when a stranger is crabby, or just not so jolly around this time of year, to have more compassion. Perhaps they are feeling that way for this very reason. A close friend of mine lost her mom a couple years ago on Christmas day. Thank you for your sweet reminder, to truly live in the moment!
-
You are blessed. To be able to freely and so eloquently express how you’re feeling is a gift. To have a husband who is strong enough to take care of you and your family and tender enough to allow you to reminisce about Andy is a precious gift. Much love to you all, especially during this extra special time of year.
-
Betsy, your last paragraph was perfect. As someone who hasn’t experienced a close loss I can say that I don’t usually think about how painful the holidays could be for people who have. I’m sure that I will be more aware as I move through the world over the next few weeks. Thanks for the reminder and sharing your heart. That’s why I love your blog. 🙂 It’s authentically you. And isn’t that the only reason a blog is worth reading? Merry Christmas!
-
you’re awesome. just wanted to tell you that. thanks for reminding us how precious life is and how fortunate we are to have our loved ones to enjoy the holidays with. thanks for keeping the “hustle and bustle” of Christmas in perspective. love ya!
-
Oh Bets… I found your blog last year at this time and the first email I sent you was about how cute I thought your Christmas card was! I can’t believe a year later and we’re friends exchanging in-real-life cards! I’ve been thinking about you a lot and although I can’t imagine the sadness you feel at this time of year (and always) I also know how much you have to smile about this season! 🙂
-
Your openness is always so refreshing Betsy. Truly, you are doing amazing things for people by being so open about your feeling with losing Andy.
-
I’ve never experienced the loss you have, and if I were being honest, I never hope too. But your words and the way you express them are so genuine and lovely. I know it sounds strange, but to hear you talk about the way you love Andy is so beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful holiday, and all my love this season as we reflect on our blessings.
-
I love you girl. Just wanted you to know that. Hugs to you and the rest of the King family 🙂
-
I lovvvve the ornaments… 🙂 Very cute.

I knew it!!! Since you’re doing the two-kid thing before me, and being pregnant with the little guy running around, I can’t wait to take good notes from you! Give into those cravings and gets lots of rest!
Congratulations! I too, thought that was what your little cartoon was referring to. Glad to know I wasn’t completely crazy 🙂 Looking forward to following along on your adventure!
Congrats!!!! I thought that might be the news;) You are such a fun mom and Mile is sure to love his new sibling!
Yay! Congratulations!
Betsy, I’m so excited for you. I have to admit I was mildly disappointed in your last post because I thought you were going to announce your pregnancy. I can’t wait to hear the story of how you told Miles!! Congrats to you John and Miles!
i had a feeling this would be one of the two big announcements! congrats, betsy! that’s very exciting!
betsy…so happy for you and your family! so glad the secret’s out! and…i’m a tad bit jealous of your pregnancy…i love this stage in a woman’s life! i wish many wonderful months ahead!
Oh, congratulations!!!! By the way, I love that you wear your heart on your sleeve and can’t wait to read all about your pregnancy!
And I loved miso soup when I was pregnant, it was about the only food that would stay down during the first three months!
Congrats!!!!
Congrats!!! I never thought I would be a Blog stalker (LOL), but ever since I found your site, I check it daily. I am a huge fan of your work and am in awe of your blog posts and commitment to your clients. So happy for all of you!
I wondered…:) Congratulations! There’s no better gift you could give Miles than a sibling. So excited for you! Merry Christmas!
Congratulations!!! The world of 2 is wonderful! You will get to meet Miles all over again as he becomes a big brother which has been one of my favorite things. I was wondering if you were expecting and wanted so badly to ask you Thurs with all of this new news talk and I swear you were glowing regardless of how you look or feel! Congrats girl!! :o)
Aw sooooo exciting! Can’t wait to hear all about your journey over the next few months:)
Oh how exciting! Congrats!
Congratulations!! I have loved reading your blog and seeing learning about your wonderful family, and I can’t wait to read about this new addition. I’m sure Miles is going to be a GREAT big brother. 🙂
Oh congratulations!!!!! Do you know your due date yet? Get lots of sleep and stock up on those crackers!!!!
Betsy – congrats!!! What wonderful news. I love reading your blog and hearing about your family as well as seeing your great photos. I have a son that is Miles’ age so it’s especially fun to read what your little guy is up to.
AH! Betsy!!! that’s so excitinggg i’m so happy for you guys! congrats!
Congratulations Betsy!!! This is SO exciting for you and your family!! I’m sure Miles will be the greatest brother and mommy helper ever! ;o) p.s. for girl names, I’m in love with McCartney, Gwyneth, and Audrey. 🙂
I had a feeling you’d be sharing something like this sooner than later. You and John are such amazing parents that you should have more babies. They’re so blessed to grow up in your home! Many, many CONGRATULATIONS!!! Can’t wait to hear all the details and discuss. 2 is busy, but very fun. If you’d believe it, our little guy is just about 7 months old already. The second time around goes really fast. I’m sure you’re not feeling that way just yet as you’re a bit sick, but believe me, you won’t believe how fast it all happens. YIPPEE!!!
Yay! I had a feeling this was the news and I haven’t even met you in person. Must be that woman’s intuition! Congratulations to you!!!!!!!
How exciting! Congrats Betsy. One of my other favorite blogs announced her pregnancy today. http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/2009/12/very-happy-nine-month-news.html
All this baby talk is giving me baby fever.
Congratulations to you! What is your EDD? 🙂
Congratulations! Children are so precious and amazing, enjoy every minute! My daughter was almost four years old when I had my son and waiting in between makes the experiences that much sweeter! Enjoy!! 🙂
YAY! Congrats. 🙂
Oooh — I was hoping this was the news! Congratulations! 😀 I agree w/ the others above: you and John are such wonderful parents and Miles is such a great little guy. I can’t think of two more deserving people … AND what joy for Miles to have a little brother or sister. Yay!
Also, congrats on the studio move … Wonderful news all around. Yay again. 🙂
yayYayYAY!!! That is such exciting news. I have to admit I will miss the “three Kings” in your tweets so you’ll have to come up with something just as awesome. Can’t wait to see what this King brings:) take care! xox
What wonderful news. It’s funny because the first time you talked about the new animation in your header I thought you were going to say that you were pregnant. Glad to hear that I wasn’t too far off. Wishing you and your family all the best.
HOT DANG im sooo excited. congrats congrats bets
so happy for all of you 🙂 congratulations!!!!!!!
What wonderful news! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations!! We are expecting in four more weeks with what will be our last (third child) and I’m doing everything in my power not to rush this pregnancy along 🙂 I hope the icky, nausea, sleepy stuff passes quickly for you though : ) What a great holiday surprise!
Betsy, I love hearing about all the shinaningans that go on in your life, and that is with only three Kings! I’m really looking forward to hearing what tiny number four will add to your incredible family! Congratulations – wishing you peace and tranquility through the holidays as well as the new year… Oops, I almost forgot my suggestions – Noelle (middle name: TBD) or Benjamin Andrew.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! This was my first thought when you created the new animation but you threw me off when you talked about the new office space. This is so exciting- a great xmas present for you 🙂 Congrats again!!!!!!!!!
I knew it, i knew it I KNEW IT!!! As soon as I checked out your animation on your header, I thought to myself “Baby?” I almost twittered to you about it but figured you wouldn’t respond well to a perfect stranger guessing something so intimate. SO HAPPY for you two…three…four. YAY!
I cant believe I could have found out this wonderful exciting news on Sunday! Gosh, I cant believe I havent been online since Sunday!!
CONGRATS BETS!!!! so happy for you guys!
Congratulations Kings!!!! 🙂
I’m a little late getting over here to congratulate you…but that is SO exciting!! Best of luck to you 🙂
Congratulations!!!!! = )
Congrats!!!! Amazing news!!!!
