I'm Excited!!

Today Laura and I hooked up the webcam to chat with Ben, our 3 year old nephew in Nebraska. He's a smart little kid, and he really likes pirate stuff (just in case you wanted to send him anything). We really like being Aunt Laura and Uncle Pete because we can spoil the kids (see other nephew Jacob here) with all kinds of stuff that we probably couldn't justify buying for our own kid (if we had our own kid, which as if yet we do not, nor am I alluding to ANYTHING that may potentially happen at any juncture in the future....so wipe those grins off your faces).

Well, as it turns out Ben and Jacob may have to share the limelight with Bens little brother (or sister) when the end of August rolls around this year. How exciting is that! (It is exactly exciting enough to make an Uncle Pete wonder what type of Mrs. Potato head parts are out there for stocking stuffers this year....or if Lamby blankets come in pink should the need arise.) In the meantime I'll be waiting for all Jenni's videos of Ben learning to waterski this summer.

Oh Petums, you're such a good uncle. So good, in fact, that I think it's about time you become a daddy. No get on it, already.
