FREDERICK, Colo. (CBS4) – In the months before her disappearance, Shanann Watts posted photos and videos on her Facebook page that show loving moments between her husband and their daughters.

"I totally just cried!" Shanann wrote in the caption.
Another video, posted about two months ago, shows Chris's reaction to finding out they were expecting a third child. He pauses, apparently stunned, then laughs and hugs Shannan off camera.
"That's awesome," Chris says. You can hear him give Shanann a kiss off camera. "I guess when you want to, it happens."
Chris had to re-read!
