Nesting

Thanks, family. You were so nice to come and work at our house over Easter weekend. We 're really excited about our new room and all the space we seem to have now! It was amazing that there were fifteen people at our house for dinner on Saturday and we ALL fit! Next stop, landscaping and baby's room!

Bode's Here!

Bode was born on March 16th and baptized last Sunday. Welcome to God's family Bode!

This picture was dark so I had to mess with the resolution. He's not really that orange. In fact, he's perfect!

Baby Face

Last Thursday Dave and I visited the OB once again. These were the first pictures the ultrasound tech. took, and it's a good thing because after this, the baby turned over and wouldn't look at us anymore. This was the "big" ultrasound where we could have learned the baby's sex, but Dave and I decided not to peek. It seems, though, that the general consensus from family and friends is BOY based only on the face. (If it is a girl, I'll be sure to let her know that eveyone thought she looked masculine in the womb!)



And yes, as baby grows, so do I! This is 24 weeks. Thanks to the Tammy/Alyssa tote for the top! I like it!

Porch Construction

Our previously screened-in porch got windows last year. Finally, we have it well-insulated, and a few weekends ago, Dave's dad and other fantastic helpers came over to put up the drywall. The goal is a interior room-like space! This week Dave is spackling and sanding, hoping to be ready for trim, paint and flooring soon!
