big news!

well, folks, it's official:

that's right, stratton baby 3 will make his or her debut late october, early november 2010.
we couldn't be more excited!

it's funny, i set up the video camera to get dave's reaction since he had no idea. of course i told elias (who's reaction was "how can YOU make a baby appear in your belly?!" [ummm, errr...]) to run and get him, but instead he yells up the stairs of the studio "hey dad! mom's got a baby brother in her belly!"

welllll, elias, that's jumping the gun a smidge, and yelling it up the stairs wasn't exactly what i had in mind, but how can you not love such a classic almost-4 year old move? :)

so get ready for games like the "name that baby" game, the "where exactly am i going to put 3 kids?" game, and the "how can i get these children from A to B without a minivan?" game!
