It's a . . . . .BOX!!!????



From the looks of things, we are getting ourselves a missionary, a little slugger(in Dad's eyes,)and/ or a little track star (In mom's state champion eyes)! If you look closely you might be able to see that he is throwing a curve ball or if you were to listen to the nurse doing the ultrasound, you might notice his sprinter legs. Whatever preference of sport, we are sure excited to have a healthy baby boy coming to our home. We found out the good news over Spring Break and thanks to the miracle of modern technology we were able to see that he has all of his organs, fingers, toes, etc. that are signs of a healthy boy. Anxious to spread the news Melissa sent out a text message to colleagues, friends, neighbors,and all those close to us to share in the joy. In her excitement she mistakenly texted the words "box" to half of the recipients. This was brought to our attention when a friend responed with a phone call congratulating Melissa but worried as to how she will give birth to a "box". So, whether a slugger, a sprinter, a box, or just a baby boy, we sure can't wait to bring him into our home where he will be loved and cared for by those of us and you that care so much.
