Baby Girl!

We found out on Monday that our next little one is a girl! Luca promises to protect her with all his muscles. I went outlet shopping tuesday thinking that I'd be so excited to shop all the girlie racks of pink and purple, but it was a little overwhelming for me. I only bought one dress, and what color? Blue, of course.


The boys are really into caterpillars lately. Luca searches for his "little friends" whenever we go outside. James was afraid of them at first, but now he loves holding them. I just have to remind him not to squeeze.

For the first time since we've lived in Maryland we decided to make crab cakes. I had been craving them ever since we saw this special on PBS where they were trying to find the best crab cake in Maryland. I was afraid to spend so much for the meat and then mess up cooking them, but Jer did the cooking and they turned out as good as I've ever had in a restaurant.

Luca likes to do hairstyles lately. He gives them really cool names. This one is called the speed hunk. Some of his others are the heartattack and the side heartattack (the way Jer's hair looks when he wakes up in the morning.) There is also the Timeout, because as Luca says, "James's hairstyles only last 5minutes, like a timeout."
