Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Our Lizzie turned 4 on May 21st!
The cake may have been pink, but this girl is ALL tomboy! I let her pick out any wrapping paper she wanted (out of an aisle of almost exclusively pink/princess/dora paper) and she absolutely would not have anything but the Spiderman wrapping paper.
We went to ChuckECheese for lunch, and she chose the plastic bugs for her prize when she turned in her tickets. And for the record, she did ask for BLUE frosting.. but I already had the pink stuff out.. :)
She loved her presents - plastic animals (what she asked for), Peter Pan (thanks Aunt Nancy!), a stuffed animal, and a "new" bike (ok, I got it for $5 at a yard sale, but don't tell her!).

It's a....

BOY!! Another BOY!! woohooooo!!!

We are SO excited about having another boy in the family! A little brother! Boy bunk beds! Nine and ten-year-old boys playing basketball together! YAY!

That will help even up the odds around here..

Here are a few ultrasounds pictures:





The ultrasound tech was very sure that it's a boy, and even gave us a picture of the goods for proof. (Not sure I'll be posting that one online.. I'll have to think about that one..)

We're still pretty set on William for the name. William Bradford Merrill. How's that for a stuffy english name? I'm a direct descendent of Governor William Bradford of Plymouth colony fame, and we both like the name William of course, so we thought that would be a cool legacy.. We're so excited to be having another BOY!!
