We are having...

ANOTHER GIRL!  Honestly I am very excited and so is Madeline.  Everyone else is just going to have to get over it.  Mike just muttered 'another wedding' and 'how often are they wrong?'.  Anna Elise was quickly distracted with talk of redecorating and rearranging rooms.  Calvin is basically a happy boy so he will be ok.  I do feel a bit sorry for him, but reminded him that being the only boy does have it's advantages. 
It seems a bit anticlimatic to announce another of the same, particularly for the Russells who only have 1 grandson (Calvin).  However, we are rooting for either Sean and Rachel or Matt and Sarah to have a boy to help continue on the Russell name!
We had two solid choices for boys names - we aren't really happy with any of our girls choices.  So the search for a girl name continues...
On another note, when I got home from my appointments I found that Calvin had been playing hair dresser and had seriously tangled a comb in Anna's hair, to the point where we thought we might have to give her a cute little bob.  She was not happy.  Mike told Calvin that if Anna Elise had to have her hair cut he was also getting a hair cut - like Daddy's.  Luckily for everyone - Mike and I both worked on it for about 30 minutes and we were eventually able to get the comb out of her hair.   Mike said that Calvin was obviously not going to be a hair dresser when he grows up!

Congrats Sally! I'm excited for you and I think little girls are just so much fun to dress. I also think it's just fun to finally know so you can start to plan, decorate, and just get everything ready! If you could request anything for this baby girl what would it be? Clothes wise and stuff I mean?
