I think it sounds cool as hell, my wife and I were talking about names this week for the next baby (not iminent, well at least not that we know of) if it's a girl it is going to be coleen, common but it is the name of my wifes sister that died shortly after birth

if we have another boy we were thinking about Duncan

We aren't officially trying yet, another couple months, we are at the point where if it happes now it would be ok, so we aren't really worrying about it.

Our son's name is Connor so we figured we would stick with a theme

I could have both McClouds

a lil girl named jake could be cool
the sonogram went well...I am nine weeks.....so 11 more weeks and I can have another sonogram...we cant wait!!!

name ideas......Ella, Isabelle, Sophia, Sophie, Maggie.....Megan has a nice ring

Talk to you soon

You know we'll watch the J monster anytime you guys want to go to a movie...

Names that are good, but maybe too trendy nowadays... Madeline, Sophia, Isabella, Caitlyn, Alexandra... how cute is a girl name Alex?

Ah ha, I was right :-)

I finished the harry potter book last week or so i think, I enojoyed it but some parts were a bit of a letdown.

I had a drink for you on my birthday, thanks much.

I used up some of my babysitting calls last month for both batman and the fanatastic 4, I just had to see them.

We will be in Lake Mary at my Aunt's, and Valrico at my sister in law's. They are both about 45 minutes from Orlando.

We leave on Monday night in the evening so the kids can sleep while we drive as far as we can manage. Stay in a hotel, then drive Tuesday and stay in a hotel that night and we should arrive in FL sometime on Wednesday.

Our days are so packed with family visits and my cousin's wedding. Otherwise I'd say we should meet!

Wlcome back it's been too long.
I think it's a girl, I need to get some girl karma going for when this winter when we start trying again.

I used to commute over an hour it definately gets to be a grind, it did however turn me into the talk radio junkie I am today

Headed up to the adironacks, I am definately a mountains person.

I have driven through harrisburg many many times. I don't know that I have stopped for anything but gas.

I am definately hoping for a girl the next time around, of course I want that perfect set of one of each.

good luck getting everything settled!

and blessings on your new beginning!

A few unfun things:
the movers left the shelves
one of the movers lost a diamond earring a my house in case you get a call.... if not let me know who you used and I'll get it to them
a piece of the corner piece is lying on my floor.... some wood glue should repair it

Maybe a fun thing.... we're going to see "Superman" at Popcorn Flicks next Thursday. Devin and Lily (and possibly the 3 kids she's nannying.... is that a word) will probably be there. Do you guys want to go? If Josie gets fussy, we can always walk her down Park Ave.

We're going to Gainesville for the weekend, but let me know if you need any help before or after.

Happy first night in the new house!

Yes, haiku is contaigious, isn't it!

Here's what my nine year old girl wrote:

You're a dove to me
You bring a sparkle in my eyes
Will you marry me?

How cute is that? She wouldn't tell me if it was about any one in particular. Secret crush, perhapse? She's sweet.

How are you settling into your new house? Does Josie like it?

Did you want me to make the watermelon thing or anything else for zee par-tee? If you didn't want to do regular potato salad, you could do red potatoes with fresh dill and olive oil and a litte bit of onion..... I'm getting hungry!

Anyways, just let me know if you need us to make anything. Otherwise, we'll probably be there around noon to decorate. Sound good?

Hope you don't have to work tonight!

I guess we expect our fathers to do nothing but coo about grandkids, especially since they don't have to do any of the bleh stuff like changing diapers, dealing with attitude or discpline. But yeah. they were unattentive as dads, so why bother changing now? I guess I'm more surprised that Cindy and Florence didn't kick them in the butts.

Good party yesterday! It was nice that so many people could make it out! And Josie made out like a bandit! I'm pretty sure that's how it will be for her for many, many years. You know how we like to spoil those youngsters!

So do I need to have the furniture ready on Wednesday? I didn't get my speech done because Andrew kept laughing at me. He was a little punchy I guess. We went on our first date a year ago.... my how time flies!

my boy has been teething (again) and not sleeping very well at all,
Happy birthday to Josie, I have such great pictures from my sons 1st.

sleep deprivation is a constant, you get quite used to it

Happy Birthday to you both!!!

And you do get used to the new sleeping pattern. You just have to try to get them to nap at the same time and nap with them in those early months/years. You will adjust. Also you and your husband can alternate letting eachother sleep in when you can.

When I had my first nights sleep alone in 9 years I kept waking up anyway!

Hey, congrats on the house!!!

Did your closing go well?

Yeah we picked up the new car last weekend, I missed it this morning when I picked up my rental car, sigh

I will raise a martini for you wednesday if I get my project done as I hope

That's the crib blanket. I can't find it anywhere else online, but that's probably because it was from last year. And I don't know why the ebay person says it's for a boy because I got it for a girl. Anyway.... I think I have the blanket, the bumper and the crib skirt. I also have some pretty neutral crib sheets if you want those. I guess I can just get some stuff together and let you go through it??

If you ever need to have Jon drop off Josie so you can get some sleep after work, let me know. Most days it wouldn't be a problem.

Do you know what Jon is up to over the next few days? Do you think he'd have a chance to stop and look at our stupid cable modem that isn't working? I'll buy you guys pizza!!
