The Holtonian

We're having a baby gir? gurl? how do you spell it?

Sorry about the no blogging thing, what can i say dial up is not so reliable. Well to spread the good news we are having a little BABY GIRL!!!

It was reallly exciting, and now I'm expecting to have all girls. I just feel like I'm the type of guy who would have 3 or four girls. Mostly due to God's irony. Of course I would have girls, me a man who can't communicate with women would have all girls, myself who when a girl said "Hi" to him in college thought she was hitting on him would have all girls. It makes sense. I've seen pride and predjudice (the original) a few times so I plan on following that guys example: drink brandy in my study, read books, and watch my money go out the window.

So wifey celebrated by buying a little pink dress for Anna Kate Ruth Holton (that's her name by the way). She'll go by Anna-Kate... or Anna Kate we haven't figured out if its hyphenated yet. I celebrated by buying the new Ryan Adams cd Jacksonville City Nights (a review will be in the next blog).

So Anna Kate is just rockin our world, in a good way. The nursery is sort of in flux right now. After my dad saw the sanded floors and said, "Man those look terrible" it was so brutally honest and at first I took it personally as everyone tends to do when someone criticized their work but then I realized he was right. I had thought it looked terrible as well but everyone kept telling me it looked great so I just thought, "eh i must be wrong, it must look good." So I'm convinced it looks bad now. So we might try carpeting it now. Which might be better in the long run as it is freakin cold in that room and I've noticed in our room that even the nasty carpet we have keeps that room warm. Thus I'm thinking to keep Anna Kate warm at night we might just need to put some cheap-o carpet down. Obviously it'd be nice to put hard wood down but not sure if that's in the cards. Painting won't commence till it gets a little warmer, its just too cold that and we don't have a color yet. But it will be a nice pink room.

Anyway, hope all is well. Call me, write me, kiss me, thrill me. Oh sorry started singing a u2 song there.
