The other day, I was peacefully napping, when into the room came a one-year-old clad in a very unique shirt. The front of this shirt read...
[Daddy, guess what?]In the corner was a message: PTO. I remembered from my days of passing notes in high school that this meant "Please turn over." Grabbing the toddler, I turned him over to reveal the other side of his shirt...
[I'm gonna bee a big brother!!!]And that's how I learned that I'm going to be a daddy again. And now you all know too. I'm glad we could have this moment together.
Fine print: due date is roughly the middle of July; no, we're not finding out the gender; no, we won't tell you what names we're considering--for now, you can call him or her Boober after the Fraggle Rock character (we got tired of other people, namely grandparents, giving lame womb names); yes, Theo's ecstatic--okay, he has no clue, but I like to think he's pumped.
Okay Canadian Carroll family members, it's officially round two. Start your engines (no euphemism intended).
Talk to you soon,
Mark, Steph, Theo, and Boober

Hey!!!
Congrats!
So happy for you ...
(And I'm uber impressed with the creative way Steph let you know.)
Hooray!!! An update!!! And only after 3 1/2 months!! Great news!! July is a great month for a birthday (ask Ian). How's the rest of things going? Info required.
congratulations! July is a pretty cool month for a birthday (though some of the novelty will wear off for the little gaffer after like 19 years when he/she has to grow up and not take 2 months off for his/her birthday...but i digress). our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
