The year of the boy...

It really must be. My last few friends that have had babies have all had boys!! Today I heard from our friends Ali and Tom Pulford. They were due with their first baby on February 6th. I've been on pins and needles to hear the news. Elizah James Pulford was born on January 22 (they had some cell phone and computer virus issues which is why I didn't hear earlier) in Colorado Springs. Elijah weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and was 19.5 inches long. I'm so anxious to see pictures of this new little one. He's got to be absolutely beautiful. Ali sounds wonderful. I think Motherhood totally agrees with her! I told her we'd send her some Packer gear for Eli and she, being a Packer fan, said, "YES!! We have a few Viking things and a few Packer things, but I think we have more Viking things." That is just wrong. LOL Her hubby, Tom, is a Viking fan (everyone has to have their issues...hehehe WE LOVE YOU, TOM!!!). I should have picked up some stuff at the Packer Pro Shop last weekend at Lambeau. Anyway....I'm so glad Eli is here and safe and everyone is good. Now it's time to plan our next trip to the Springs to see the new family.

Speaking of the Packers...here are a couple of pictures of our little Packer fan!! We took these last weekend when we were in Appleton/Green Bay to see Mark. When we got out of the car at Lambeau she screamed, "We're at Lambeau Field!! We're at Lambeau Field!!!" Then when we ate at Brett Favre's Steakhouse that night I took her into the bathroom to change her diaper. She was laying on the changing table when someone came in. She said to them, "We don't like the Vikings. We love the Packers." The lady just laughed. That's our girl!!!

Hope is so your daughter...I don't know many people whose child would jump out of the car and say "we're at lambeau field!" So cute! She is getting so big, I can't wait to see you two! Talk to you soon!
