Place your wager!

Memorial Day ... a perfect day for a little outdoor pool activities, grilling and well, a game of family wager's.
As we gathered around the family table for dinner somehow "years" became a topic of conversation.  What year Daddy and I met, when we married, when Canyon was born, Dakota, Maliah, Maliah's "Gotcha Day", the day she became a citizen etc. etc.  You get the idea.  And as often as they do, our conversations led to day dreaming of Levi - the what if's and when's.  Tonight's discussion - What year will be the year of Levi's birth?

So, a little family fun was created and before I knew it, Canyon had a piece of paper out and we were all placing our wager's on the day and year of Levi's birth.  Of course, I didn't have the time or energy to explain to my kids that often in Ethiopia ... they don't actually KNOW that day ... but well, maybe in his case they will.  As well, when we do get that long awaited referral, I can't actually legally share his exact birth date with you until he's all ours (we pass court) ... so you'll just have to take my word that I'll let you know who was closest.

We all placed our bets and here is what we have;
Daddy:  May 1, 2008
Dakota:  September 20, 2008
Maliah:  August 20, 2007
Mommy:  January 23, 2008
Canyon:  November 27, 2008

And for fun, we had to come up with what the "winner" would receive and decided on the all important PHONE CALL TO EACH GRANDPARENT!
That's right, whomever is closest gets to be the ONE to call each set of grandparents and tell them we got "the call".  Oh man, I am SOOO hoping I win.  That's gonna be one fun call!

A little family fun around dreaming of you today, Levi.  We shall see one day who is closest.
What about you -- what's your wager?
For some insight; we've request a boy 30-48 months old.  Hold that lightly though; the Lord can always throw us a curve ball and have his own plan.
