The Brothers

Hope and I decided from a very early point in her pregnancy that we would not name the child after any of our siblings. If you know my brothers at all, to name our son after one of them, well we would never hear the end of it. But out of curiosity, I decided to put my four brothers names on our poll for this week to see which brother would win. What's a good holiday without some good 'ol family competition! I have abstained from voting this week because the Lord has made me smarter than that, but I am excited to see how it ends up!

Baseball Stuff!!

It was my birthday this last weekend and I was reminded of quote found in the title (what movie by the way?) as I was opening my presents. There was no baseball stuff (thankfully), however I did acquire three new video games for my Wii. I received Madden 07, Tiger Woods '08, and Zelda: Twilight Princess. Tiger took up a lot of my time in the beginning as it is a fun and relaxing game to play (except for the fact that I am usually muttering under my breath because ironically my Wii golf game is similar to my real golf game). But now I have gotten into Zelda and haven't been able to put it down. If you want to play, just call me and I will find time to play! I also got half of my Christmas lights up before it started to rain and I am now waiting to find time to finish them. Hope and I also went and started to register for baby stuff. This is a really weird experience and very overwhelming. I thought all you needed was a diaper and a bottle. Apparently not. But that will have to be for another time. Hope is feeling well and the baby is doing well also. Vote for this weeks name and just in case you wanted to know, my favorite on the list is an X-men.
