Chillin here with Uncle Jeremy, Auntie Lanessa, Uncle Josh, and Grandma. Wow, that's wierd to call my mom grandma. They drove up to Walla Walla for the weekend to watch our last basketball game. No Grandpa though, he is busily at home fixing some housing problems. Uncle Josh is feeling pretty sick and his back is really hurting him so he is already asleep on the floor. I really cannot believe that my season is over basically, I have some serious decisions to make in the coming weeks about next year. I almost wish that someone would hit me over the head and tell me what to do. I wish you were already here, you would listen and understand me. My eyes are beginning to droop over because my body is finally reacting from the tiresome week. I'm afraid I'll have to come back and finish up some of my thoughts later
Love you,
Uncle Jonny

It's official!!!!
You are a little girl. I am going to have a niece! Truly, I could not be prouder. I know that I have been talking for the last couple months, making statements along the lines of, "It might be a boy," I really haven't said anything too bold, I have no problem admitting that I'm wrong, however. Right now I'm in the process of coming up with a list of names for mommy and daddy. The leading name up until now seems to be "Janella Joy," or JJ for short. I have also recently started a list of rules, or rather guidelines, for anyone wishing to associate themselves with you. These will most likely be handed out the most during your junior high to high school years. Hopefully by the time you hit college one of your uncles can be retired and become a full time bodyguard for you, or if you find this an unreasonable option, he will become a full time student... at the same college you're attending... With the same class schedule as yours. Basically, you will not be left alone... Ever... I'll write more later. I now have new material to discuss with you since things have changed somewhat. Love ya.

Hey there little buddy... or sweetheart possibly... So I spoke too soon I guess, Daddy had what we call a "brain fart" when he told me they knew you were a boy. It's actually one week from today that we find out your identity. I know I have made a lot of fairly bold statements about you being a boy, but in all seriousness. I would be just as proud if you were a girl. Whatever, I'm just excited to be an uncle. I wont lie, I am going to be a dominate uncle. I'm hoping through a multitude of gifts, or material possesions if you will, I will gain your respect to the point that you will call me your favorite uncle. Lately I have really been praying for guidance and wisdom with this whole basketball thing and the decision I will have to make about next year. Don't ever take for granted the power of prayer. There may come a point where your friends try to convince you that it's not really the "cool" thing to do. Don't bother your time with them. At all costs, avoid using God sparingly. I fall into this trap too much, failing to even aknowledge my need for Him at times but then asking him to bail me out when things get really bad. Always pray for God to lead. Everyone else will always let you down at times.. Even your mom.... Maybe... It's almost 11:15 pm and I still have two assignments to do. Until next time..
Peace and love,
Uncle Jonny
