Phee Phee Phi Phumb ... I See a Little Gupton

The first pics are in for the next addition to the Gupton Household.

Isn't life amazing? I'm going to have to cave on finding out what we're having this go around. I've talked Hannah out of it both times before. This time, 'Mama' is going to win. We'll find out what we're having May 31st.

I could be wrong, but I think I saw a future NC State basketball player in there. Then again, with things moving the way they are in West Raleigh .... that may be the Wolfpack's next coach.

Speaking of the WOLFPACK -- the N & O's online Blog "ACC Now" is reporting tonight West Virginia Coach John Beilein has moved in front of Steve Lavin for the hottest job in College Basketball.

Whether he comes to Raleigh to replace the disenchanted Herb Sendek remains to be seen. More at: http://blogs.newsobserver.com/accnow/index.php

Finally, while demolition continues on the former Sheraton at Crabtree Valley, the developers of the new Soleil Center want to add yet another tower to the already mamoth 43-story project. Now, I don't know about you, but having Raleigh's tallest skyscraper away from downtown is going to be odd enough. What are these guys thinking? Is Raleigh going to have a new metro destination other than downtown?

By the way -- Raleigh's Skyline has been visible from Capital Boulevard in Wake Forest for about three years now. Call it progress -- it was the result of acres of trees cut down for the area now inhabited by Super Target and Home Depot.

Randy,

Welcome to the blogoshpere and congratulations on the new kid. It seems like I haven't seen you all in years. Hope all is going well. Cheryl and I are doing well here in the land of the fruits and nuts. Looking forward to being able to head back east in about another year or so. Got to run, but I'll be sure to stay tuned in for all of the late breaking news here at Five Seconds to Air! Love you man.

Precious photos! Looks like a State fan to me, definitely. Life is incredible. It's amazing we can see pictures like this before a child is born. True beauty.
