"The big one"

Aah Kate, the oldest, the first born or the big one, as my niece Summer used to call her. She has always made us laugh, but lately her humor has a sassy edge to it (she is a tween you know). This is what happened at dinner the other night:

Kate bossing Emma around telling her what to do

Matt: Kate, who are the mom and dad here?

Kate: You

Matt: Then who needs to mind their own business?

Kate: YOU!

History 101

I was hanging out with this cute kid the other day and we started talking about Sept.11th. Our coversation went a little something like this:

Ryne: Did you know they are rebuilding the twin towers?

Me: Really? That's cool.

Ryne: I'm not sure if it's a very good idea.

Me: Why?

Ryne: Because as soon as they build them the Russians are just going to knock them down again.

Me (with concered look on my face): Bud, the Russians didn't knock down the twin towers.

Ryne: Oh yea, I meant the Africans.

I promise we had a history lesson and he was set straight.

Notice anything missing?

We just might be getting this baby home on MONDAY!!!

Baby Sam

Here's a short video of Sam trying to open his eyes. Be aware, you can see his chest opening and his heart pumping if that sort of thing bothers you.

one week and four days!!

Here he is at nearly 37 weeks. This will be the last sonogram they do before the big day. We got to watch him licking his hand during the sonogram. It was very funny I've never seen anything like that before. They are estimating he will be at least 9 pounds. We are getting very excited to meet him.

Scratch That

I got a call from the Dr. today and there has been a change of plans. They have rescheduled the C-section for June 21st. Hooray!!

The End is Near

We got some fun news today. We will be having this baby on June 27th. We cannot wait!
