it's a

BOY!

We went to the ultrasound Friday afternoon and we were delighted with the news that Jerek will be having a younger brother to play with!  Everything is "perfect" according to the tech and I am right on schedule.  We are so thankful for this new little addition to our family.

My thoughts have switched gears.  Instead of laying awake at night and worrying about if this baby will have 3 eyes or a finger coming out of it's forehead (I'm not the only one that worries about this stuff, right?) I now wonder if HE will have my eyes or the same swirly cow-lick on the top of his head, like Jerek does.  Will he have my green eyes or brown like Daddy's?

I can't wait to meet him!

Also on Friday, we had Jerek's best buddy spend the night.  The first over-nighter we have had.  Truth be told it was a little crazy.  The weather was nasty, cold, wet fall weather which meant the boys had played inside all day.  Being stuck inside = CRAZINESS.

We packed them up in the car and drove over to a local church with a play-land.  We had it to ourselves and the boys ran around and played and had a great time.  No hitting each other over the head, no throwing toys, no tears.  It was almost blissful.

The next morning we whipped up pancakes for breakfast and watched the boys entertain themselves:

I promise, we used light syrup!
They then ran around in circles, with the guitars, for a half hour.
