The couple wore matching hats that said mom and dad. Melinda called the announcement “the best news of our lives.”

The two were married this past summer.

I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head And I'll take the kids to school Wave them goodbye And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night ❤️

Judging by how the couple interacts, I’m guessing this is going to be the most adorable baby that ever lived.

Road trips with this monkey consist of him singing or lip syncing whatever comes to mind instead of the actual lyrics. 🐒 @ErikKarlsson65 pic.twitter.com/XqLfomNkIx
