9 days old

After many months of planning Auntie Stacey finally made it to Iowa. She bonded with Andrew right away and even took care of him all night Friday night. Wow....what a difference a full night sleep made for me and especially Nelson.

We had two special visitors on Friday......

Dr. M. came over to meet our new little addition. I think they got along great! Andrew even opened his for the occassion.

Also Auntie K also came for a visit and fed Andrew.

Andrew Day 7

Andrew is a week old today. Where is the time going? It is flying by...... He had his first trip to Target today and was an angel. Of course we weren't gone very long but it was good to get out of the house. Andrew spent most of the day sleeping and eating. Boy can he eat!




Andrew loves his pacifier!

A Snowy Day in Iowa

After a weekend of bad weather we have a winter wonderland outside our house. Although in the next day or so it is going to be slushy and yucky, might as well enjoy it while we can:)

The First Snowfall of the Year

Well, we got snow yesterday...and I wasn't prepared for the cold temps or the fact that I had to clean off my car after work. I didn't even have gloves with me...what was I thinking.
It was very pretty and snowed for an hour or so. Nelson worked up north yesterday where they got anywhere from 5-10 inches. See the pictures. It was late when I got home so it doesn't really show how pretty it was.
Everything is going well with the pregnancy. I have felt the baby move but not that frequently. We are just looking forward to our big trip at Christmas.

IT'S A BOY!!

We had our ultrasound today. Here are the pictures. Isn't he cute????
Expected arrival date: March 19, 2007....

Trip to Mississippi - September

Baby Update

Hi All!
We are finally telling everyone about the "big" news. Wow, it sure was hard to wait.....
I heard the heart beat on Monday so now it is finally a real thing:)
We will try to keep everyone updated through the blog. I have been a little slow posting but will try to get more organized:) We are excited!

finally a post

Hi all!
I know it has been forever since the post, but since coming back from vacation we have been pretty busy with work, etc.
I have finally finished summer classes, took a final already and am enjoying not having to study for a little while. It won't last long though.....
We went to the lake last weekend and had a great time. I read a good book while nelson fished. Didn't take any pictures, just imagine all of the others that you have seen of nelson fishing in the boat, about the same, ha.

More vacation pictures

What a wonderful vacation. We just got back a couple of hours ago and I can honestly say I wouldn't mind going back tomorrow:)
We had some beautiful days to spend out on the lake enjoying the sun and the fishing. It got kind of cold toward the end, but we still enjoyed it. We also spent some time in the sauna which was such a luxury and then jumped in the lake.....bbbbrrrrrrr....
Nelson of course caught a lot of fish and cooked them too, yummy! We also had crawfish too, as you can see from the picture. They don't grow as big as they do down there but they were pretty good and reminded us of home.
Do I have to go back to work tomorrow???? Please say no.......

Vacation to Minnesota!
