I.A. Syndrome

We have recently felt compelled to address the issue of a pertinant nationwide syndrome. Mumsie and the Morton Maidens, and even Daddy as well, have the I.A. Syndrome. Most of you probably already know that we have this syndrome, as evidenced by our pictures. In fact, We think a lot of our friends have this!
This syndrome has been around for many years, however, it has just aquired this name. The most awesome thing about this syndrome is, it is not painful.... well that is only when you have to share!!!!
One thing that is interesting about the I.A. Syndrome is that you can get it when you are young or old, and it is terminal. Another interesting thing about this syndrome is that you commonly find it in homes and churches where children are viewed as a blessing. The name of this syndrome is Itching Arms Syndrome. This is what we call it when people are just itching to hold babies! We are very glad that the Lord has blessed us with many children in our lives!

Here are some pictures of the Morton Family, as well as just a few of our many friends and family over the past few years, who have the Itching Arms Syndrome!

Just imagine what the background sound was like as this picture was being taken...."OOOHHHHH she is so cute.....Dad smile...... hurry she's yawning......How precious........Look she's yawning.......Look at us not her........hold still.......aaaaawwwwwoooooohhhhhhhhhhh(this is a combination of two words commonly used when you have this syndrome describing the excitement.)"

What cheesy children!
