Making Molly Ringwald Proud

Stephen couldn't join me today at the ultrasound, so I decided to surprise him with the results by showing up at his office with the boys dressed like this:

 

 

Don't tell Molly--this is the first time they've ever worn this color, (Thanks, Laura, for letting me borrow the t-shirts, although sadly, I couldn't quite convince Bennett to wear the pink, jeweled, princess pants) but they might as well get warmed up to it now because they'll be seeing a lot more of it come June 4th! We have officially broken the Jory chain of male grandsons: we've had six boys in a row with Justin's two, our two, and Jenae's soon-to-be two. Needless to say there are some very excited grandparents and aunts and cousins out there.

After our little Pretty in Pink surprise we headed over to The Counter in Palo Alto for some gourmet burgers and yummy shakes--in the spirit of pink I ordered strawberry--to celebrate the big news.

p.s. Just found this article and had to chuckle at this rapper being forced to wear pink!

DMX Adopts Pink Prison Wardrobe
Looks like Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has come up with the cure for DMX's addiction to jail. The hip-hop star and repeat offender, like all of Arpaio's other inmates in the Maricopa county jail, must wear pink t-shirts, underwear and socks.

The girlie wardrobe colors caught DMX by surprise. "This is ridiculous, this is disrespectful," DMX said with a sarcastic laugh during an interview with My Fox Phoenix. "Why the pink?"

Arpaio told Fox & Friends he has had the pink policy in place for 10 years with success. He said the inmates were stealing the white underwear so he dyed them pink.

According to Arpaio, DMX is serving time for charges of animal cruelty, drugs and fraud. Arpaio did not express any sympathy for the hardcore rapper, adding, that jail was not supposed to be fun.

DMX misses the good ole days. "This is not where I want to be man," DMX said. "It used to be, I'll go there, I'll be the life of the party, and ... it's nothing."

Requiring male prisoners to wear pink undergarments is emasculating, but listening to DMX talk about going to jail as if it is a hangout spot is not fine either.

Maybe Cam'ron can give X a pep talk. Cam'ron and other Harlem MCs have always been fine with the springtime pastel color.
