Summer fun

Taking a quick break from all the summer fun we're having with Darci and her family to post a quick picture .... it's great fun to have them here and I feel like we haven't missed a day apart from each other - even though it's been almost 2 years since we lived right down the street from them. Gwen and Mason are getting together fabulously. Bees games, swimming, backyard BBQ's, fabric shopping ... we're cramming in the fun every day and will be so sad to see them leave again!

Guess the Babys Name Game, Round 2

As most all of you know Marc and I are having a 2nd baby, another boy, on August 24th, 2009. Some of you remember with Mason we had a "Guess the Babys Name Game" where we sent out clues in order to make a game out of guessing his name. Marc and I have decided on a name for Baby #2 and are again keeping the name top-secret - except for these clues we'll send out weekly for these last 8 or so weeks of the pregnancy.

If you weren't around for the first round or need a refresher on what Masons clues were - here's the run down of Round 1 (the pictures we sent out along with the tie-in they had with Masons name):

Clue #1 - pyramids were built by the free masons.

Clue #2 - George Mason was from Virginia, and George Mason University is there

Clue #3 - the building is city hall of Mason, Ohio

Clue #4a - a strand of DNA to clue you into that ...

Clue #4b - these coding proteins spelled Mason Val Singleton

Clue #5 - these coordinates are to the Mason Crater on the moon

Clue #6 - Fenway Park has a W.B. Mason sign (though not in this picture ;) & the stats are for a baseball player named Mason from the 1800s

See how easy that is!!? ;)

If you want in on this round - leave a comment or otherwise send me your email address so I can put you on the official email list. I'll send you out the first email with the rules and the run down of how it all works.

And now for the first clue for Round 2:

Round 2 also has it's own Flickr set you can find here to see all the clues as they are released.

Good luck!
