Hoooorayyyy!!! :) we're so happy for you guys!!! I always joke with Mike that we're only going to have girls since that seems to be what our family makes most but now he said I can't say that anymore. Haha I'm sure Everett is sooo excited to be getting a little brother and will show him the ropes! Good thing Ginny can hold her own ;) love you guys!!! Congrats!!!

Update -- Haley

Everett is so excited. He has already named the baby Frederick after the character on Pirates of Penzance and picked out a blanket color for him.

AWESOME!!  Congratulations . . . though I would have said that for a girl also.  I guess I’m congratulating you and Haley on taking advantage of modern medicine to find out the gender.  However, we only did that once out of 4 times, so I guess I’m just saying “Congratulations” out of habit.  How about . . .

We’re excited for you.  It’ll be fun for Everett to have a little brother, and you’re definitely doing your part to balancing out the grandchildren gender.  Not that it needs to be balanced out . . . . .

I’m just happy.  Very happy.  I think it really just comes down to better/enhanced day dreaming once we know the gender, girl or boy.  Now we can refer to “him” instead of “it”.  : )     How’s that?  Also, my productivity for the day might have just taken a hit.  Oh well . . . .

It's a boy! -- Bryce

Hey folks,

Just wanted to let everyone know we had the ultrasound this morning and it's another boy! We have zero boy names in mind, so we are open to suggestions. :)

Love you guys!

I feel like a one-woman email chain. :) -- Connie

I am determined not to let this die!!!  I want to know what's going on in all of your lives--so I keep chiming, in hopes that you all will.  :)

Well, another section of our fence blew down up on top, and also the left side at the front of our house.  So nice to know that the H.A. will fix it up on top, but we're going to have to replace that front piece, which we've been meaning to do anyway.  I would love for the back fence management to replace the whole fence, and we would even chip in, but looks like they're going to do this piece-meal thing which I will not complain about one bit.  But I do hope this extreme wind we've been having will be short-lived.

It was way windy at the temple yesterday for Brittany Persson's wedding. SO FUN to be there with so much extended family.  We had a Chipotle family luncheon, and the reception was absolutely lovely at the Overlook Chapel.  She sure married a nice guy with a wonderful family! SUPER happy for her/them.

Tonight we head out to Lodi for the NYEve party, so hope we don't have extreme weather for that trip.  Just saw a post about how treacherous that was for someone yesterday and I have no desire to blow off the road and into the surrounding water....ugh....so here's hoping for a less blustery day!  :)

Alison and Chris are staying with us and I have been waiting for hours with biscuits and gravy for them, it's almost noon and they just began stirring up there....so it will be lunch instead of breakfast.  :)  Oh, the good 'ol days of being able to sleep in like that.  The older one gets, the less possible that becomes....and just when one might have time to do it!!  :)  Oh life....it just keeps us on our toes.  :) :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR to each and every one of you!!  Pipe in and tell us all about your lives.  We really hope that all is well with all of you.

Love forever and ever,

Mom
