Hey Gang, I too would like to add my praises and exclamations of delight regarding our Christmas/New Years Morton Family gathering. It was awesome. In fact leaving was indeed sorrowful; especially since real life is often miserable. Actually my life is rad, but I do love our family get togethers. There are two things that I look forward to all year. One is opening day open house in which the brothers get together and watch baseball all day, and discuss baseball all day, and make baseball predictions, and eat hot dogs. It is a fantastic day, and I truly do love it. The second is our Morton family christmas. I love that weekend more then monkeys love bananas and poo flinging. For those of you that are more recent additions to the family, such as Charlie or Colin, you may have found me to be somewhat synical or rude at times. I apologize, but I sometimes like to stir the pot. I may over do it sometimes, but it is really just for kicks and giggles to see others get riled up. So, sorry. As I mentioned before the brothers and I make baseball predictions at the beginning of every season. Some of these are called over-unders, for instance Last year Dierrick Jeter batted .276, will he hit over or under .280 this season? That's just an example, those stats may not be correct. We also answer other questions, so I would like to do some Morton Family Predictions for the year 2012, and maybe we can go over them next Christmas.
1. Last year there were two weddings in the Family, will there be over or under 1/2 this year?
2. Counting the upcoming 2 babies that are on the way will there be over or under 2.5 babies?
3. Who will be the next couple to announce that they are having a baby?
4. What will be the total weight of all babies born in 2012?
5. Will Johnita make it into graduate school?
6. With two upcoming baptisms (Macy, and Ashlyn) will there be over or under 2.5 dunking attempts due to incomplete emersions?
7. How many emergency room/urgent care visits will there be this year?
8. How many new jobs or promotions will there be in 2012?
9. Last year we raised $5,500 for relay for life will we be over or under $5,500.50?
10. Will 2012 see the end of the world? If yes How? Creativity gets extra points even if the world does not end.
Hope you guys have fun with this, please post your answers, and other questions if you have any. I love you all, and hope 2012 is as awesome as you all deserve. Thanks

10. No, Half the world will be destroyed by zombies. But I myself with my extreme ninja skills will take it upon myself to destroy all zombies. However, after killing off all but the zombie king, I will get bitten and the rest of the family will have to kill the king and I. but before you kill us, we will do our own twisted remake of the musical "the king and I" etc. etc. etc.

10. No, Half the world will be destroyed by the game Plants vs. Zombies. I will fall victim to it after Mia Rose/Lincoln Matthew is born because Sheila will finally put down her Ipad. The good thing is Ruby will find a man that also enjoys the game and it will be "love at first zombie kill".

10. Yes: The classic story of technology taking over, only this time it will be some hacking genius behind it all who corrupts major computer software programs at banks and on wall street and at the pentagon. Since virtually all money is virtual, the U.S. will go bankrupt. The hacker will send an anonymous message implicating China for the incident and a nuclear war will commence. Between explosions and radiation, only those righteous enough to have food storage and nuclear fallout facility nearby will survive. Then Christ will descend on a a nuclear cloud.

So what is the count so far? I think #9 was under, wasn't it? That one was a push anyway.
