It was a quiet week in Morton, IL....

My friend Brian just sent me photos from the wedding of our friends Josh and Julie. It was in New Hampshire. I was disappointed that I couldn't go. It was actually the first night of my residency. Josh and I have been friends for a long time and I've always loved Julie. Curiously, I only see Julie at weddings.

I made sure to get the weekend of October 7th off to go to Adam & Ashley's wedding.

Other news: It's a boy! Katie and I found out yesterday that we're having a boy. I've said that I want to have at least one of each gender, but I admitted to Katie the other night that I was secretly hoping for a boy. It turned out that she'd been secretly hoping for a girl. My parents had been openly hoping for a girl. As the US was being placed on Katies abdomen, I suddenly stopped caring about the gender, but was really just hoping and praying that there would be nothing wrong with the wee babe. As far as the name, there's a little uncertainty, but currently we're leaning towards Hazen Henry Tuck III, a.k.a. "Trey."



Hmmm... maybe we should go with something a little more wholesome, like "Hank."



Or maybe just "Hazen."

Which reminds me: my brother Andy was originally named after my mom's dad, John. When my mom told him, he said something grumpy like, "I don't care, it's your kid, name him whatever you want." So she changed his name to Andrew Jacob. Hilarious.
