VIP! (Very Important Post!)

And I guess I'm also talking about a Very Important Person!  Here's the big news...

Violet is getting a sister!  And if this new girl is as vivacious and sassy as Violet, Glenn and I are in for it.  Particularly Glenn.  He is going to be surrounded by bossy girls!  

I meant to document the appointment a little better by taking some pictures with my new (smart!) phone, but it died right after Glenn took this picture of Violet and I walking out the door:

Can you tell Violet was excited??  And we are excited too.  Of course a boy would have been neat too, but I really wanted a sister for Violet.  I love having a sister close to my age.  Another cool thing about having a girl?  She will be exactly the same months younger than Maggie (the only cousin on my side of the family) as Violet is older.  Basically, Maggie is exactly between them in age, so I bet the three of them will be the best of friends!

We are also a little relieved about it being a girl because we didn't have ANY ideas for names for boys, and we have several girl names we both like, so now it is just a matter of choosing one!
