Oh Boy, Oh Boy!

"A boy is a magical Creature- you can lock him out of your workshop, but you can't lock him out of your heart. ~ Allan Beck"

We are way behind on this blog!  I do apologize!  

Great news for the Dabbs Family to report!  We will be welcoming a new member of the family in October.  Hooper Goldsborough Dabbs will be joining his two older brothers at the beginning of the month.  Just in time for the 3rd Saturday (Tennessee).  Baby Hooper Goldsborough will complete our family of 5 and be the final of the Dabbs children.  We are beyond excited to add another little boy to the family and Hunter is very happy that we will not have dolls in the house.  Steuart is fairly clueless at this point so he is content just running around being a crazy baby!

I have had many people ask and no, we will not be "trying" for a girl.  There will be no 4th child.  I am over the moon about my boys and will not need to have another after Hooper.  Three little boys will be about as much as I am able to handle.  I am quite certain if I were to get pregnant again it would be twin boys and then I would become a member of a club where they dress in white- straight jackets that is.  

I have also had a lot of people ask about his name.  Hooper and Goldsborough are family names on my side through my mother.  My uncle, grandfather, great grandfather, great great grandfather, etc have all been Hooper Goldsborough.  Goldsborough was my middle name and my mothers maiden name.  He will have a very strong Maryland name for an Alabama boy but hey, you're not really cool until you have 3 last names anyway, right :-)  And no, it is not pronounced HOOPer like a basketball hoop.  It is kind of like "hooker" but with a "p" for lack of a better word to use.  Since I did not have a girl to be the 6th Sally this last boy will be named after my favorite uncle, grandfather and so on.  I am over the moon!
