A New Addition

Tomorrow, Mark and Julie will have a baby girl. Her name will be Addison. Pretty normal for our family. So far, we have named two boys Major and Cade. Addison seems like Mary to those two names. Having a baby in the family is always exciting, but it will be odd having a girl. The only girl we had growing up was my cousin Kristyn, but it was her against three guys.
When the family would get together, the kids would tag team wrestle (me and Bart against Mark and Kristyn) on our grandparents extra-king size bed. Actually, it was probably a queen, but to us it was huge. We would look at the same bed 15 years later and wonder how all four of us fit on the thing. Kristyn did add a woman's touch to the group however. One time while driving on a trip from Weathorford, Bart took his shoes off and his feet stunk. Kristyn decided to fix the problem by putting her perfume on his toes. It intensified the unbearable odor by a hundred times. We all rolled down the windows and started gagging.
I don't see little Addison wrestling with Major and Cade. Major would probably push her off the bed if she looks at him wrong and Cade will chunk a ball into her eye if she gets too close. I feel bad for the girl. She is going to have it rough if another girl doesn't come along soon. Either Kristyn and Clint need to have a girl or I need to get on the stick with this baby thing. Yet, I don't see the latter happening for quite some time.
