The kids, James in particular, knew the ultrasound was today. It turned out that Ben had to be in Provo for a legislative event tonight and wouldn't get home until after the kids were asleep. Of course, both Ben and I wanted to be there to share the news with the kids and see their reactions. This morning, I told James he might have to wait until Friday to find out because Dad was working late. James did not like that idea at all. Kindergarten ends at 4:00. Ben had to be at the capitol until 5:00 and then immediately leave to Provo. So, the kids and I raced from kindergarten, home to pick up Robert, and then to the capitol to catch Ben before he left. It all worked out and James and Kate even spent a few minutes on the Senate floor with Ben for a vote or two.
I thought for sure Ben was going to say, "Do you know what that means? It means we're going to have try again." Oh well, I guess some things are better left unsaid until after the new baby boy is here.
In loco parentis, the title of our blog, is Latin for "in the place of a parent." It is a legal term that refers to the responsibility of a person or organization to take on some of the functions and responsibilities of a parent.
In Spanish, loco means crazy.
While Ben and Julie think they are doing a fairly decent job under the first definition, Kate, James, and even Robert (as communicated through Kate) would like all readers to know that their parents identify with the Spanish meaning as well.
About us We (Ben and Julie) married in February, 2000. Both of us are lawyers and enjoy healthy arguments regarding both things of import and things of no import. We are the parents of three-year-old twins (cheerful, cute Kate, and handsome, headstrong James) and our new baby Robert (a delightful angel). Kate likes reading books, watching Dora episodes, and cooking with her dad. James likes riding his bike, playing with balls, and watching out for Robert. Robert loves eating, a dry diaper, and sleeping.
