And the blessing is....

Have a guess? If you guessed this...


You were right!!! We are excited to announce that we have a wonderful, little boy headed our way around Oct. 2! So excited!

Our parents came to town for the big "Revelation Party" as my dad, Bill, liked to call it. And before we revealed, we set up sacks with gifts that revealed the surprise.


We had the table all decorated as well.

The moms and grandmothers open their surprises to find out, "It's a boy!":


The dads show off their goods, "Daddy's Caddy" clothes:
Here we are as they gave us presents, too:


Here's the haul from tonight, and previous purchases from friends and family, including toys and clothes:



It has been a great day of surprises! We are excited to be having a little bundle of blue joy joining us in October.

NO, we don't have a name, yet. But we are working on it. Afterall, we have a few months, right?

Personally, I can't wait. I always wanted a boy first and a girl second, but after September, I just wanted a healthy baby with 10 toes, 10 fingers and a healthy rest of the body. Now, that we know it is a boy, the first thought in my mind was someone to watch after his mommy when I'm not around. Sports also came to mind, and music. However, mostly, I just pray that this healthy baby boy comes to know God and Jesus, and that he grows up to be a good Christian man.

We promise to do everything we can for that to come true, and we know a lot of you will help in that, too.

Now on to finding some boy stuff, painting, decorating, etc.

God, please bless our little bundle of boy!

Congratulations! And WOW! What a reveal! One of the jokes in my family is that a boy who has yet to be named is Cletus the fetus! I wonder if your "Cletus" will ever want for attention, love, joy, happiness, etc....My guess is NO! Good luck with the rest of the planning and doing! Let us know if you need anything! Love you!
