Katie's baby shower

We were in Richmond this weekend to take part in Katie's baby shower.









There was an added bonus of horses on the property and Natalie thought they were pretty neat.




They got a lot of nice stuff. Now we can just sit back and wait for the baby to arrive.

Meet Willow's baby

Matthew John was born Monday, April 20, 2009. 8 lbs 5 oz
Good thing Willow and I scheduled our lunch for Friday rather than Monday!





Congratulations to Willow, Ryan, Maria and Joey!

A Day at the Zoo

We enjoyed the beautiful weather on Saturday by going to the Baltimore Zoo. Not all of the animals were out yet, but we still got to see quite a few.



This polar bear was so sad because they kept his girlfriend just on the other side of this door.


The elephants are still her favorite.


With giraffes coming in at a close second.


The fake smile here is because she thought we were making her sit on a real turtle.


At the petting zoo brushing goats.




Is it me or does she have the same expression as the zebra she's riding?


It was a great day and we can't wait to go back again soon.

We've come a long way, BABY!

We've come a long way since being numbers 13 and 14 on our high school field hockey team.


Willow is 39 weeks pregnant with her third child and here I am at 21 weeks with #2.


Good luck to Willow and Ryan who will hopefully meet their newest addition some time next week!

And it was too cold for a cute Easter dress so we settled for a cute Easter shirt:


And we've made it thru another tax season. Phew!

In Like A Lion, Out Like a Lamb!?!?

This is what we woke up to this morning. Who would have thunk it?

The Greatest Show on Earth

Yesterday we went to the Circus as part of Natalie's (belated) birthday gift. There was plenty to see but Natalie's favorite part were the elephants and the tigers. I have to admit, they were mine and Aunt Liz's favorite part too. If you were to ask Greg and Ray though, they'd say that the motorcycles were their favorite. Overall, it was a great time and worth the wait.

The results are in:

So yesterday we learned that the newest addition to our family will be a BOY!!! Baby is measuring right on track with where he is supposed to be so we are sticking with our original due date of August 30th. What a relief to hear that everything is ok. I will post some new pictures soon.
