Name this baby!
This baby boy...
...will be here in a little less than nine weeks!
And he doesn't have a name yet because we haven't come across anything that seems like The Name. We have lots of time, I know. But we've also known that he will be a "he" for twelve weeks now. I have visions of me, fresh out of a c-section, half anesthetized and hormonal as all get out, still trying to name this poor child.
I would like to avoid this.
You'll find some of our favorites in the baby name poll. Please weigh in and let me know what you think, will you? If you don't like any of them don't tell me that because I will cry.
Baby Boy thanks you.

Some Christmas Pictures
Christmas program! Brooke was the loudest child in the choir. I taught her everything I know about singing: pitch and tone? Whatever. It's all about volume, baby.
Christmas traditions are kept alive and strong around here. Especially edible ones.
Not sure where Nate will play when the tree is gone.

I actually did something I saw on Pinterest.
If you're looking for something cool and crafty you are SO on the wrong blog.
A few weeks ago I saw a page on Pinterest about how to entertain toddlers, and one of the ideas was to paint the bathtub with watercolors. Since I have a couple of toddler types running around I decided to give it a try.
Be sure to give a good scare-the-tarnation-out-of-them speech. Tell them: repeat after me, "DO NOT PAINT ON THE WALLS!!!" Look serious and mean and growl.
Then strip 'em to their scivies, throw 'em in and go for it.
Verdict: this was perfect! It really wasn't that messy, they thought cleaning the tub was fun (HA!) and we got the bath over and done with after the painting. It took a good hour and a half or so, start to finish.
So...clean kids, clean tub, morning of entertainment. Not too bad.
