Sheehan Boy #2

xx

Baby Boy #2 is expected to arrive at St. Luke’s Episcopal hospital on August 26, 2008. For a while, we thought he was going to come very early. But after a few nervous months, we’ve decided that he wants to avoid the Texas summer heat by coming at (or past) his due date. He’s been measuring large at all the OB appointments and has been very, very active for the past few months. We truly believe that he’s going to give Sam a run for his money in the activity department (if that’s even possible). Many of you have asked about names. We’re kind of superstitious in sharing the actual name before the baby arrives, but rest assured that we do have a short list. Of course, Sam has thrown out a few names as well (John Dirt Digger, Tee tee Poo poo) but few have made their way to the official list. We’re just so ready to meet (and introduce to all of you) our new little boy.

Sheehan Boy #1 - Samuel Tomas Sheehan

Sam was born 1.2.2006 in Durham, North Carolina. We’ve had the great pleasure of watching him grow into an energetic and sweet spirited toddler over the past 2 ½ years. Soon he will have the honor of becoming a big brother. Sam will not take these responsibilities lightly. While he’s not willing to share his “Mr. Blue Dog” (his lovey) just yet, he gives daily kisses (mostly prompted by Dad) to Anna’s stomach and has been helpful in creating the prospective name list for his baby brother. We look forward to sharing their brotherly experiences with each of you as they occur. Below are a few pictures from Sam's first 2 years of life.

Meet the Extended Families - The Lindsey's and Sheehan's

For a little perspective, we’ve decided to add some recent pictures of the Lindsey and Sheehan families. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting our extended families, they are both spirited and fun loving.

Scott and I each have one brother. Anna’s brother, Arlen, has a wonderful wife (Courtney) and 2 adorable kids, Van (almost 4) and Bella (1 ½ years old). Scott’s brother, Jim, currently lives in NYC but is expected to skip the country in the next few months and move to Australia.

Sam has made it very confusing in the grandparents department. Anna’s parents, Mimi & Pa Pa live in Palestine but seem to be “passing through” Houston all the time on their way to the beach. Scott’s parents, Mimi & Pop (confused yet?) live in Austin, and have “stolen” Sam away a few times this summer for a trip to the Capital city. The only way that we can distinguish the 2 sets of grandparents when Sam is talking about them is to reference their pets. Anna’s parents have a cat that Sam loves (yes, that’s our old cat that my parents so kindly adopted), Ralph and Scott’s parents have a dog he loves, Kallie. Kallie is only loved by a few people in this world, but to have Sam on your side is very important. Kidding!

We are very fortunate to have such wonderful extended families!
