THE BIG REVEAL...

Well, after much speculation, we finally learned today that we’ll be having a…

BOY!!!! We can’t believe it!! We were (as were most of you who voted) convinced it was a girl, but we were wrong. Cousin Royce will now have someone to team up with against all the girls. :) Of course, this is Will’s family’s first grandchild, so truly a special time for all of us indeed. Thanks for your prayers, well wishes, and for playing our voting game!

Cast your vote...

Stay tuned...one week from today, we will (hopefully) find out the gender of Baby Brewer!  Until then, cast your vote on whether you think it's a boy or girl - the poll is up at the top, on the right.  

I'm looking forward to hearing what you think!
