My nephew, Matt, (age 11) had to write a poem for a school assignment. If you know Matt well, you understand that sitting down and writing a poem is not on his list of fun things to do. (He's more of a science guy.) But despite his protestations, the end product is a sweet poem that our family will cherish for years. If you don't understand the last line, see my previous post entitled, "False Alarm."
Rambling Reagan
by Matt Bower
I have a cousin, who is two and a half
She has curly hair and a cute little laugh.
Reagan Joelle is her name
And rambling around is her game.
She runs around all over the place
And when she hides she leaves not a trace.
She’s loads of fun and as smart as you please
But she loves to touch everything she sees.
She is full of joy and has lots of charm
Except when she pulled the fire alarm.

Our Disney Souvenir
I haven't been blogging lately. "Why?" you may ask. Because I have been spending just about all my free time (which isn't much) resting. You see, we brought back a little (VERY little) souvenir from our Disney vacation: I'm pregnant!
In our usual style, this wasn't a surprise souvenir; it was very much planned. We knew we wanted a summer baby, and it just so happened that the first opportunity to create one coincided with our trip to Disney World. Our projected due date is June 12, 2006.
I've been pretty sick with this one, much as I was with Reagan. And, speaking of Reagan, she has become quite the "Daddy's girl." Since I tend to crash on the couch when Scott gets home from work, the two of them are spending lots of quality time together.
As for the sex of the baby, we won't know until late January. When asked if she wants a baby brother or baby sister, Reagan replies, "No! Doggie!" Boy is she in for some disappointment.
Don't expect a lot of pregnancy updates. I'm really just not that into writing these days. But I will try, at least, to write about the really important stuff--like whether it's a boy or girl and when we decide on a name. Other than that, plan on long stretches of my being incommunicado. I will, however, make attempts to keep Reagan's blog updated at least once a month.
