Surprise!

Joshua was excited to show off his new "big brother" t-shirt and to report "My mama has a baby in her tummy" at Thanksgiving dinner.  We are thankful to be able to announce that baby Nolen is scheduled to be joining us at the end of May. 
Joshua has already come up with a list of possible names:
If the baby is a boy the following names have been suggested:

• Tyler Russell (the quarterback at Mississippi State)
• Julio Jones (a former Alabama player and Dave's personal favorite option)
• AJ McCarron (the quarterback for Alabama)
• LSU Tigers (?)
• Auburn (to which Dave and I both broke out into loud Boos)
• Michael ("like the boy in Children's Church that wears a belt like dad.")

There have only been 3 suggestions for a baby girl:

• Keatsie (from a Berenstain Bears book)
• Cutsie (from the above mentioned Berenstain Bears book)
• Princess Leia (obvious reasons)

We are hoping to find out the if Julio Jones or Princess Leia will be joining our family in a few weeks.  We can' wait to let you know.
