Ug. I knew it. When we were in high school- we used to joke all the time
about how our kids would not be cute as a direct result of all of the shit talking we did.
Michelle sent us a pic of her beautiful soon to be baby so I went to the site and made one for myself.
On the side of the page when you're uploading a picture it states for the image
requirements, "no hair on the face, no glasses, no hats, no open mouth, etc." I just got back from a conference last week and in one of the sessions our instructor menionted that the human brain doesn't recognize the words "no" and "not" most times. I, however, take them as a challange so here's what I added:
...I came up with a mutant. and I suppose I deserve it.
I played around with it all
until finally coming up
with:

Not too bad. I like the hint of a smirk on the little bugger's face.
Putting a little more thought into this whole process, I don't think I'll be able to play around with how our brood actually looks when the time comes... I'm pretty sure that sort of thing is a crap shoot.
The site allows you to name your baby and then email it out to all of your friends and relatives aftarward so you can start to register for gifts. I decided that our little boy's name would be inspired by a cat Todd had when he was younger: Ricky Henderson. I named him Lebron James Kurpel.
In other baby news, Todd got a new car on Monday. We went to dad's for dinner and farm share sharing with Grace on Tuesday and were giving my dad the tour. The FIRST thing he said was, "Why did you get a bigger car? Are you anticipating needing more space?" Then he looked at me. Oh, being near thirty, married and childless.
At least I got to report to him that we got a fourth cat!
