What up now, estrogen house?? It's official that the new baby is a boy. Kim called it this time. I knew Elise would be a girl and Kim knew this baby would be a boy. We're going to name him Liam Brandon McKendree. Not that we named him after the actor, but it would be awesome if one day he could destroy people like Liam Neeson in Taken. A son any dad could be proud of :)
On a serious note, just as with Elise, I hope Liam grows up to do great things. And not necessarily on a success scale as we might normally view it (although I hope they do achieve greatness in that aspect) but on a deeper level. I hope they love people with unconditional love. I hope they realize much younger than I did that the church isn't just a building or an institution, but a group of people reaching out to God and others. I hope they bring joy to people's lives because they were kind, funny, or knew how to make someone feel good. I hope they bring joy to people who are suffering because they want to extend the love of Jesus. I hope they stand up for the weak and choose justice over popularity and reputation.
I'm looking forward to seeing him and can't wait for a lot of things. I can't wait to shoot basketball with him. I can't wait to play video games with him. I can't wait to take him fishing (even though I'm not much a fisherman myself). I can't wait to have another male in the house that I can blame messy bathrooms and open toilet seats on. It's going to be great.
