Place Your Bets...

This week's blog posting consists of two independent but somewhat related topics. The first being an open invitation to participate in the first ever, once in a life time, highly-anticipated, high-stakes Meloche Baby Pool. There are 14 days until Manuela' due date (March 10th). Participants are invited to pick the date which they believe Manuela will give birth to Meloche #2 and secure said date by recording it on this blog. Once a date has been chosen by a participant that date can not be chosen by another. The individual who correctly chooses the date upon which Manuela delivers will receive an undisclosed Grand Prize valued at an undisclosed monetary value!

**Participants are limited to one vote. Winning participant must claim prize by providing valid proof of identification at Meloche Headquarters in SWF no later then 3 hours after time of delivery. If no one claims the prize, the winnings will be used to purchase cigars and other celebratory items. Doctors, nurses and Midwives who are actively involved in the delivery are prohibited from participating.**

The second topic concerns the benefit of children. Friends and family members have always maintained, and rightfully so, what a blessing children are. They informed us of the joys of watching your little ones grow and develop. They have stated that children are the source of their delight and how they could not imagine their lives without children. Manuela and I agree with such sentiments, however, there is another benefit of having children which they have failed to mention which the above pics illustrate, namely....domestic servitude.
