[UPDATE] better late than never, but here are the scans from the u/s on Friday.

We'll update later with a better scan, but we had a 3d pic taken today. We think she has Kara' nose and chin!

the overrated Hyatt (no free internet anywhere, paid parking, or free breakfast) Glad we got it for less than half the normal price...Thank you Priceline.
Braums...not exactly the what we remembered (Culvers Rules!)

rugrats, rugrats everywhere


Congrats to Tim & Kelly! They've got a little rugrat running around now...It's a little boy English Bulldog and he's awfully cute, but he's going to be a heck of brute!

Congrats to the Mohars!

Congrats to the Mohars on the birth of their baby boy yesterday!!! We're looking forward to meeting the little guy when everyone is settled.

just kicking it


6 months down, 3 to go. She's been pretty hyperactive...the baby, not Kara. We can really feel her kicking, pushing, and moving around in there. Time is going to fly by, so much to do. We should probably be further along with the nursery by now, but we hope to make some progress this weekend if we can make a decision on a color. We'll post pics of before/after as we get to work. We're trying to decide what to do about furniture...do we get a life stages crib and dresser, or get a standard crib and worry about matching furniture a few years later? Anyone have any thoughts?

kitchen...check!

Done, done, and done. Well, maybe not quite, but the heavy lifting is. Last week we completed the kitchen and love it. The tiles are in, grouted, and caulked, angled and all. We have some minor paint touchups to do on the cabinets and some gaps to fill under the lip of the countertop, but overall it's a done deal. It looks like a whole new kitchen.

Now, it's on to the Nursery. Last Friday, I painted the former guest room to a nice chalky blue-gray color which will now become the office and Sunday, Kara and I cleared out will be the nursery and threw a bunch of junk out. If anyone is interrested, I have a couple 15" Trinitron monitors that are going to get recycled (FYI, Best Buy has free electronics recycling: http://www.bestbuy.com/recycle ...protect the environment please). This weekened, we'll probably begin the tearout of the existing trim and closet doors in preparation for painting and trim replacement. If Kara can find some wallpaper soon, we may just begin painting as well.
