Mickey Mouse CLUBHOUSE!!!

Check out my costume for Halloween! It just came in the mail. It's awesome. Mom helped me get in it and then we went downstairs to show Dad. As soon as Dad saw me, I yelled "Mickey Mouse CLUBHOUSE!" with a huge smile. I let him take a few pictures, but I was anxious to play Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the computer.

Halloween is going to be so great.

We're going to have a baby!

You've probably already suspected this, but we are officially coming out of the closet with it: Dad is gay. Just kidding. We're going to have a baby! The due date is March 18. We've asked Cannon several times whether he wants a brother or a sister, a boy or a girl, and although we're not sure whether he understands the question, his answers have been consistent: he wants a sister. Dad wants both. (Not on the same baby; twins.)

Anyway, thanks for being polite all this time and not asking Molly if she's pregnant, and thanks for not asking too many times when the heck we're going to have another one. We like to take our time and cook 'em good. 

Lunch with Alaina

Today we went to lunch at Pier 49 Pizza with Alaina to celebrate her birthday way back in June. While we were eating we asked her what she wanted to do when she grew up. (This is to the best of my memory, which isn't that great these days.)

Alaina: "Umm.. a mom."
Uncle Nate: "That's a good thing to be! How many kids are you going to have?"
Alaina: "Well.. Jeremy and Wesley and Timmy."
Uncle Nate: "That will be a great family."
Alaina: "And probably Robbie will be my honey."

[A bit later]

Alaina: "Know what? Someday when I'm a mommy my mom will be a grandma!" (Laughs.)

Alaina is really great with Cannon. He had a great time with her. On the way, we asked Alaina if she would help him count to ten:

Alaina: "Cannon, say one."
Cannon: "One!"
Alaina: "Great job! Cannon, say two."
Cannon: "Two!"
Alaina: "Great job! Cannon, say three."
Cannon: "Three!"
Alaina: "Great job! Cannon, say four."

... you get the idea. :-)
