It's Official...Collin James Greer

So after months of indecision, we're happy to annouce that Baby Greer #2 will officially be named Collin James Greer.  Collin is in honor of the Collins portion of Matt's family, and James is in honor of both my grandfathers - Jimmy Ward and Jim Hamilton.  Both names are derivatives of James.  Max is learning how to say his little brother's name.  It mostly comes out as Coll-Coll or Coyin (the L is still hard for him).  We're about 9 weeks away from my due date, and I know it will come so fast.  We can't wait to meet little Collin and have our family complete. 

We've got a really busy next couple of months coming up.  Matt has a couple of trips planned to Atlanta and Louisville for work, so Oma and Aunt Em are coming to stay for those weeks that he's gone.  Nicola and Thomas are coming to visit from Germany the 2nd weekend in April and we are so excited to see them and let Max meet his German family for the first time!  We'll also celebrate Max's and Oma's birthdays that weekend.  A couple of weeks after that is Easter, then only a few weeks until Collin is here!  We started our busy weeks off with a visit from Aunt Gwen, Mariah, Erica, Maddie and Rivers.  Matt and I got a (very small) taste of having more than 1 toddler to take care of when we watched the 3 kids last night.  Here are some pics and a video of the fun they had.

Max decided to have some alone time reading so he climbed up on the pillows and bean bag and covered his face with his book.  Rivers tried everything he could to get Max's attention...with no luck.

Almost all three smiling!

I'm not sure which boy hit Maddie, but this was the beginning of the end of our photo session.
