Hey Eve!

Well, we are in the stretch run of your growth. These last few weeks will seem like an eternity, waiting for you to get here. It's getting hot, like it is supposed to do in the summer, but it's a little hotter than usual. I hope it doesn't stay that way, but it probably will. Your Mom is getting a little excited, but she tries to act cool most of the time. Your Dad still hasn't started your crib yet, but it definately will be the best "planned" crib ever! I think there are some guys at the Pentagon and at NASA working on it. Anyway, your Mom and Dad are having a party next weekend, so they bought some outdoor furniture. I really think they are just trying to keep busy, but who knows. I haven't seen your Mom in person this summer, but from the pictures I have received, she is really "white". She has always been that way. I wonder what kind of skin tones you will have. Your Mom has a really pretty complexion and has maybe had 4 zits in her life and that's the good part. Oh, that's a new word for you. I guess they are actually called blemishes, but they are also referred to as zits, pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and a lot of different names. If you get a really "big" one, it is called a honker. Anyway, that's the trade-off. Pale skin with no zits or dark with nasty skin. Actually, all of the girls have good complexions. And neither of your Aunts are albinos, like your Mom. Man, that's another new word. I am not sure that I spelled it right, but it is a wierd deal. Like there are albino tigers. All of the tigers in the world are orange with black stripes, OK! Then all of a sudden one comes out white and black. Anyway, it happens once in a while and I am actually joking about Carey being an albino, but just imagine if you were, like a "monkey", that came out all white and nasty. All of the rest of your family, brothers, sisters, parents, cousins, grandparents, uncles, etc. are brown and black and you are white. That would be pretty wierd, but at least it would easy to find you in a crowd. See, I told you we were getting bored waiting for you. We can't wait, 'cause there will be so many "incredible" stories coming from all of this that it will be really exciting. Anyway, have a great evening! (that's a joke about your name!) Love, Tim.
