A Little Explanation

Some of you might be wondering why I named our blog this. Back in the Halcyon Days in blue heaven, Jonathan had a delightful, yet nutty, small Bible study in Motown dorm, which included the likes of my brother Parker, Blake, Kidd, Fais, Jared Clark, just to name a few (if you know these people it helps you understand how such a nickname could come about). Anyways, the group named Jonathan "J-Mo" playing on Jennifer Lopez' "J-Lo" nickname. Probably because their personas are so similar. So after Jonathan and I got engaged, I remember specifically being in the car with Chris Faison, and him saying "Now you can be L-Mo." Elmo...get it?

So thus, I named our blog the Moes in an attempt to be clever and added 0810 because that is our anniversary and Moes without a number was claimed. I guess the baby for now is just Little-Mo.

Selling Our Townhouse

We are selling our wonderful townhouse in Chapel Hill. We have many fond memories in it, but we can't take it with us to Birmingham. I'm posting pictures and some of the stats. It's For Sale By Owner, so please spread the word to anyone who might be interested. We also have a flier is you'd like us to e-mail it to you.

• 2-Story Townhouse
• 2 Bedrooms, 1.5 Baths
• 1088 Sq. Feet
• Colony Lake Subdivision
• Backyard Faces Wooded Area
• Brokers Welcome

This is a great home for graduate students or families, located in a quiet neighborhood. Less than 3 miles from UNC, 8 miles from Duke, and just a minute away from 1-40. Serviced by bus line. Clean, bright, neutral interior.

The Blue Peep

When I came back to the office after the doctor's appointment, my boss and coworkers feigned being busy so that I would go to my desk and see this:


In case you can't read it: "So you took a peek at your little peep, tell your peeps here what you're having...choose your Peep."

Obviously I chose the blue Peep!For those of you who don't know my history with the Peep. My dad introduced them to me at a young age, as they used to be his favorite Easter goody before diabetes (although they recently released Peeps made with Splenda, so he's back in the game). Then, while working at the Complex Sale, the ladies introduced me to a tasty enhancement: broiled Peeps. Yes, broiled. Think caramelized marshmallows...yum. I tried introducing them at MJM Investigations, but they thought it too strange.

Then I came to Providence and the ladies not only embraced the odd treat, but thought of a delightful twist: smooshing the broiled Peep between graham crackers and chocolate and making yes, a Peep S'more. Now, every Easter (and Halloween - a Holy Ghost Party), we have a Peep Party. It's a blast, but alas, this will probably be my last one.

All this is to explain why my communications team would choose Peeps as my method of revealing the baby's gender. I am known as the Peep lady. I have been given a Peep coloring book and stuffed Peeps. In all seriousness, you really should give it a try this Easter.

It's a Boy!

Baby Boy Moseley showed his manhood very readily today (see the arrow)! Daddy is already thinking of fun games to play with a boy, and Mommy is trying to figure out what are the cutest boy clothes.




Here is a nice profile shot. We only were able to get a 2-D ultrasound this time, but I think the pictures are still very clear. Jonathan was able to see it was a boy before the ultrasound tech said anything.





Here he is saying "Go Tar Heels!"



PS Jonathan only consented to starting a blog for the purposes of updating people on children, so welcome to our blog! As you can see on my first entry, I was toying with the idea when we were contemplating having kids and the idea of blogging altogether (I wanted to claim the domain!). It was fun to look back on.
