Spoiler Alert!

If you do NOT want to know what Struckmann Baby #2 is...please stop reading now! And also avoid our family for the next 4.5 months! I know tempting right?

I finally convinced Chad that I just HAD to find out what this baby was, for my sanity and his!  So off we went to the Ultrasound with a card and two crayons in hand!  We wanted Big Brother to have a part in the reveal so we decided this was the best way we could go about it.  

You'll see in the video he is interested in the situation for about 2.5 seconds, but at least he told us what color he saw (eventually!).  I think it's so funny how literal kids can be.  You'll notice we ask him to tell us what color crayon is in the card and his response was "there's no crayon in here".  Well he was in fact correct there was no actual crayon inside the card!  I guess next time we'd have to say tell us what color crayon is used to write ALL OVER the inside of the card!  Another lesson learned for Mom and Dad.

Random Thoughts by Nolan Struckmann Part II

I apologize, I promise my next post will contain pictures.  Winter and I don't really get along, so the camera doesn't make it out of the closet as often as it probably should.  The only thing I would have pictures of right now is Nolan playing with his "guys" and I thought I would spare you pictures of us playing with...Plastic Guy, Amazing Guy, Tie Guy (you get the picture). 

I will however share with you another random story of Nolan, cute to me maybe annoying to you!  (I think at least one person will be a fan though)

As we sat at dinner last night Nolan was a CHATTER BOX as usual.  He's a big fan of asking everyone how their dinner is.  How's your quesadilla mom? (that's right, I cooked!).  But you MUST respond and ask him how his dinner is as well.  So we went through all the polite discussions and then he started in on something that we really couldn't understand.  So we kept asking him, what are you saying buddy?  What is that?  And he looks at me, almost yells (but he's too sweet to yell) and says...I'm talking about "Pa Pa Mandy" (his aunt)!!  You see when I'm trying to distinguish between words that start with B or P or D I tend to say things like it's "Ba Ba Beautiful" or "Da Da Daring".  So apparently now he just picks whatever letter he feels like and adds it to his words to try and get us to understand!  We have so many things to learn from Mr. Nolan. 

Hope you're having a wonderful day Aunt Pa Pa Mandy...study hard!

Random Thoughts By Nolan Struckmann

Nolan is in that stage of his life where he is starting to come up with some really random comments.  So in the interest of trying to remember these moments I thought I would write one down and share.  This is the conversation we had at dinner last night (please picture a very serious Nolan as he is speaking):

Nolan: I wish I had a million dollars.

Me:  Me too buddy, me too.  What would you buy with your million dollars?

Nolan:  Ummmmm, a boat.

Do you think that means I can have what's leftover after he buys the boat? I intend to take full advantage of the situation before he learns the value of a dollar!

Happy Monday!
