Boys

Well I suppose the news should be written here, though most know by now. After a fairly interesting (but fun) ultrasound it has been determined that a BOY is coming to our little home. We're eXtremely excited! I'm pretty sure Mike is even more excited about the gender than he lets on (although I know he would've been pleased with the pink variety as well). Thus far he has proved amazing with children of all sorts. When we've had the pleasure of babysitting neighbor's children, he is generally the more effective tear-stopper. He's gonna make one great papa. :)

Yesterday Mike finally had a day off- as in, he didn't go to either of his jobs. To our delight we're having a little onslaught of family visitors and so decided to spruce up the house. We even raked up all the crab apples off the lawn and then made banana bread to make the house smell nice. It's funny that when parents come to call, we feel an even bigger urge to clean. We wouldn't want Mom to think all the years of chores didn't teach us right. :) ha. But ultimately I was just pleased at how rewarding it was to work next to my husband. Fantastic!

Note: I know we've promised more up-to-date pictures, but for the moment our camera-less existence is not being captured on film. We're working on it.
