Wow... here are the vital statistics:
1. Kerry is ready to POP... and very glad to deliver before the hot, balmy Mississippi summer.
2. We still have not picked out a name, but it is a boy. Choosing between Xavier, Edmond, Cornelius, Langston, Magnum, Leroy, or Jerome. You can decide which names we are serious about.
3. Grace is about to finish Kindergarten... we think she could skip to 2nd grade (she's smart, but did I mention we live in Mississippi?).
4. London and Joseph are professional stay at home kids and enjoy the workload they create for Mom and Dad (mostly Mom). London has developed a fluent, southern accent and loves to drive her Mom crazy with it.
5. I have traveled over 70,000 miles for work since Jan. 1 and am glad to be home for awhile.
6. Grace outfishes me regularly and loves to rub it in. She is baiting and casting on her own and London and Joseph are coming along. Joseph caught his first fish a few months ago and he is already talking about catching the "huge" fish, not bad for a two year old.7. London and Grace are enjoying soccer and Grace scored two goals in her last game. London gets a bit preoccupied with the ant hills (fire ants, not the nice little black ones I grew up with in Seattle) and gets bored with chasing the ball around. She prefers to poke sticks into the hills to find larvae.
8. Football in the South is truly a religion and I moonlight as a varsity assistant when I have a little extra time.
9. This is a high school stadium we played at last season... 3 story bleachers, full press box, and synthetic field turf. NICE! We also wooped up on Brett Favre's old high school way out in the sticks.10. Please leave comments as we would love to hear from our friends and family. We have not been able to make it back out West and miss Florida where we spent the last 5 years.

Joe (and Kerry),
Wow, what beautiful kids you have! I can't believe you found our blogs. It has been a long time. Do you still keep in touch with Matt, Jeremy and the gang? (I guess Jeremy is your cousin).
Good luck with your 4th baby! I wish mine was here. I can't believe we are parents. :)
Take care, Becca
Cute family! I'll have to check in on your Mississippi adventures, since it is one of the states I've never been to. I love the idea of digging for grubs and larvae, that is my kind of kid! :)
Great blog!!!! Keep it up. Glad to be able to catch up on your side of the country....thanks for sending the link...worked great. I'll definately add it to my FAV's.
Give my love and hugs to all.
Dad.
Wow Joe, I'm so glad you found our blogs. I love catching up on old friends. And I can't BELIEVE you are having baby #4, that seriously qualifies you as a family man. Good luck and I can't wait to read about more adventures in Mississippi. Maren
