"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

March 24th....I can't wait!!


Yep, that's right....we're having another girl! To say that we're surprised would be a huge understatement. See....about 5 weeks ago we had an ultrasound and were pretty sure we saw something "down there". We have been racking our brains for the perfect boy name and just when we decided for sure, this baby threw us for a loop! Now we'll be racking our brains for the perfect girl name. One that's sweet but not too sweet, one that will fit her throughout her entire life, one that she'll never be ashamed of, and one the actually means something to her and gives her something to live up to. Naming babies is so hard!

Wish I could help with the clothes but I guess that isn't happening. I always wanted to name a girl Ella or Emma. I really don't have to worry about it now. CONGRATS :)
