Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not onto thy own understaning...

One can't always tell the gender of a baby as early as fifteen weeks, but clear as day, our fourth (and in my opinion, final) baby is unquestionably ... a boy.

We plan on naming him Max Tucker Hooten. I guess the good Lord only wants us to go through teenage girlhood once. Granted, our one teenage girl is equivalent to at least two or three, but I really wanted the pretty little bows and frilly dresses part. Well, He knows better than we do what we are equipped to handle. C'est la vie. I already told Frankie that as my only girl, I apologize to her in advance for how I'm going to behave when it's time to plan her wedding. She responded by telling me that she wants me to cater it. Never gonna happen, my friend.

Sonogram pictures will be posted soon, but for now I wanted to at least share the news. And now, I'm heading to bed to dream blue dreams.

Until next time...

'Aint it great to be crazy?!?

What a hectic time of year this is! This Saturday (June 6th), Michael will turn the big 4-0! Hard to believe I'm married to someone who is that old. I mean, I'm 37 but I'm still in my 30's, right?

We're going to our friend Jenna's wedding on June 12th. Adam will turn 7 on June 13th, and the following day is Father's Day. What an insane time of year!

I'm still putting my June dinner calendar together. Wish me luck in getting it finished.

Lastly, although Adam is usually fairly bright and well put together, I thought I'd share the following recent conversation:

"Mommy, isn't it CRAZY that the 4th of July happens on the fourth day of July???"
-Adam

Crazy, huh?
