And Now There Will Be 3 People Not Putting The Seat Up In My House.

Boys pulling triggers all over the place.

Sam's trophy. For pulling triggers. When I first met Mark, when he was even weirder than he is now ;) he had this thing he'd do when something excited him or made him happy. Could've been a good part of the story he was telling, could've been a good song on the radio, could've been an exceptionally tasty bite of whatever he was eating, but he'd always punctuate the event by 'pulling a trigger on it.'

With the fingers of one hand curled up just so, he'd pump that hand forward and pull it back in a recoil like the blast of a shot gun. Sometimes he'd say 'Bam!' but it definitely wasn't required. Sometimes something would warrant double or even triple triggers. Beware if something called for a trigger when he was driving. That usually included an involuntary tapping of the brakes. Mmmmm, whiplashy.

These days Mark doesn't really do the full trigger-pulling motion, but that doesn't change the definition of pulling a trigger or minimize it's use in our familiar conversation. In other words, it's a good thing.

Baby boy Bedillion pulling triggers. :)

Congratulations to you all!

Sara said...

lol, yes, Sara, I did mean 'put the seat down!' Ha! I'm going to just leave it wrong now as a monument to my pregnancy brain which is extra dumb :)

Thanks all! Should've seen Mark come out of his seat when he saw boy parts on the ultrasound screen. Good times, good times!

I will look at awesome ultrasound pics all day!

A boy! Pull the trigger and put a piece of cheese on it.

That picture is unbelievable! And one of the few u/s pictures in which I have ever been able to distinguish a part. Your title line may be twisted but I read it correctly the first time.
Two of each as part of the younguns brood? Swoon!
