My brother Michael and his wife, Michelle, came to visit our family for Christmas this year. It has been 2 years since they have been here, as they reside in England, about 2 hours north of London. (Was that right, Michelle??) I had to review with her the where abouts, because when talking with friends or my patients at work, I tend to not really know. :)

Anyways, they are expecting their first child at the end of May. They will find out the gender this coming Tuesday, but Michelle and I already have it in the bag... It's A Girl!!! Michael and Nick are wrong! But if we're wrong, we are gonna owe them big for all the trash talking we did!!

As a Christmas present for the parents, my sister, Leslie and I had our family pictures taken and some of just the grandkids. When Michael and Michelle got here, I took them out and took these. I'm no professional, but they did just the trick!!

They were here for almost a month, which gave Nick plenty of time to start rubbing off on Michael's wardrobe colors!! But come next fall, Michael too will be able to call himself a Coug, so I can't give Nick too much crap.

We all know Michelle is pregnant... with a GIRL, but what is Michael going to be having?? I think another twinkie! Love you, brother. ;)

It was so nice having them here. The last time they were here, they missed meeting Owen by a few days. So it was fun for him to finally meet his Uncle "Meek" and Auntie "Chelle." That's how he pronounced their names. It was a bumber that my sister and her family weren't able to come out, but they both will be here next Christmas. YEAH!!
