Surprise for Dad and Luke!!

So Saturday night, my mom and I pulled off the biggest surprise in surprise party history (ok, maybe not really, but it was big- even for us). Dad thought he was coming to Birmingham to help us with Luke's surprise 30th birthday party and Luke thought Dad was coming up for his surprise 60th birthday party. But really, the surprise was on both of them, as Dad's family came over from Atlanta and Luke's friends all came together for one big PAR-TAY!






It was really fun, and I think they were both really surprised (Ok, enough of the word "surprise"). Even though Luke was instructed to get Dad out of hte house Saturday evening by taking him to see the new Star Trek movie and ended up running into his friends (who live in Tuscaloosa and Newnan) at the Hoover Rave Theater. He was mad they came two miles from our house and didn't call him, so the thought that they would be here for HIS party never crossed his mind.

And here is Dad and Luke... The older you get the bigger bottle you get!

Baby McGlothin at 16 Weeks

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.



Baby M is now the size of an avacado! I can't beleive the baby can hear us now... Does this mean I need to sing and talk to it, because I'm just not quite sure about that yet?
