24 January 2015

all the things they said

"I think we should name her, "Lazy" - Julia

"When will he be born? Four minutes?" - Sebastian


blank stare + speechless - Theo


"not care, not look."  - Phoebe


"you call this an adequate pregnancy announcement?' - baby #5

Yes sir!

Or ma'am!

We'll find out in June {as clearly illustrated above} and we cannot wait.

Oh, what?

A bump snap?

You know I always aim to please ...


 ... I'll wait for the full on clutch and gaze until tomorrow because Simon said I looked like I was pulling a Vanna White with my own stomach PLUS ... daily updates until d-day so there's plenty of time for posing variety.

GET EXCITED.

    Congratulations on the continued Pattoning!!! It's highly inappropriate for me to care about the spacing of your children, but I will cop to some sadness when there was no announcement at Phoebe's fifth... or sixth... or seventh...

    I should really get a hobby.

    Congratulations to your entire family! Upcoming move, new job, and new Patton! It's going to be a great year for all of you.
