A mix of you and me

I've been looking at old pictures of Mike and me over the last few days and wondering just what this boy of ours will look like with our combined genes. I guess we'll see soon enough, but here are a few pictures to glance at, so you can guess along with us.

Awww. The odds look high that he will be a blondie!

Jess: As much as I'd love a little redhead, I think you're right -- the chances of him being blond are pretty high.

Every time a few days go by without a post from you, I always wonder if you are having baby purple!

Gosh I can't believe he will be here on Thursday or sooner! I'm hoping for red hair, that would be adorable. Good luck to you when his arrival, well arrives. Can't wait to meet him! I'm really excited to hear what name you and Mike have chosen for him.

I'm still rooting for a little red head as well - but that third picture of little Jennie is the cutest thing EVER. So I would settle for a blond Baby Purple.

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
