For Berkey

Berkey, your comment on my pic made me feel all mushy inside. Here you go. It's the best I can do. 

And this is just to show you my big 'ol belly (18 weeks today)!

:(

So I would love to show everyone pictures of our new house and how it's coming along but our camera is lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't been able to take a picture of Duncan in weeks! Even worse, I believe there were a whole bunch of pics on it that I didn't get a chance to upload.

Yay! We really are going to close on this house!

And we're only three days away!!!!!

Progress On Our House

okay so I lied

I didn't get arond to posting pics of Duncan's B-day party. It went really well. He had 11 grandparents there!!! So here are some pictures of the party and some more recent ones too:



He's just like his daddy... when we used to have to go to a laundry mat, Brett would put my undies on his head while he was folding clothes!!
Broccoli...



and here is what our house looks like today!!!!

The outside...

This is looking in from the entryway.

Brett is standing in our formal living room.

This is our dinning room.

This is our kitchen.

This is my pantry! I'm so excited to have a pantry!!

These are the sliding doors in the bay window in our kitchen.

This is the wall of windows in our great room.

This is the other side of our great room.

This is the great room viewed from the hallway upstairs.

This is the master.

This is the hall bathroom.

This is the master bath.

Here is the basement. These are the sliding doors.

Hi!!!

Okay so since I've started school I have been completely neglecting my blog!! :( O well, come June I will have more time :) Anyway, here are some pictures of Duncan on Halloween and some other misc. pics. I will try to post some pics from his party tomorrow night, but please don't hold me to it!!!! ;)

Catching up....again

So we went and got family pictures taken a little over a week ago. That was my first experience paying for professional pictures. Boy did I underestimate what we were going to spend! Or maybe it was that I overestimated my ability to say "No, I do not want that picture of my beautiful, sweet, cuddly child". O' man! I was completely unprepared. These types of things are what should be in the What to Expect books. Alright, anyway, I'll cut to the chase. Here are a couple of the pictures. The rest are here.




They are really low quality because the portrait studio would be down right silly to give me high quality electronic copies of all of the pictures :) Well we bought enough to share with all of the grandparents (They will be sent shortly, I promise). Since Duncan is so fortunate to have so many grandparents, we couldn't buy for aunts and uncles too. So all of you aunts and uncles, if you would like to purchase a sheet or two, get in touch with me before November 7th and I will tell you how. Edited to say that I believe we are going to purchase enough wallets to go around. Therefore the above statement applies to larger photos.

Duncan is so darn cute, huh? And recently, he has started to look like me.... well alright that might be stretching it. Look for yourself.

Can you see it? huh, can you??? He has curls!!!!! Yeah! He is my child!! (Please ignore the carrots)

I have been neglectful in thanking my SIL Jessica for the hairband I won on her blog. Thanks Jess! I like it a lot. It is really well made. 

O yeah, Brett likes it too...

We went to Brett's cousin Amanda's wedding this past weekend. This is a picture of the father/ daughter dance:

Randy (Amanda's dad) cried here and when he gave her away. He was promptly kicked out of his fantasy football league.

A couple of days ago I discovered that Brett twitches if any of the kitchen cabinets are left open. So of course I have been making sure to keep them closed. He worked 16 hours today and will be home soon. I, being the wonderful, loving, caring wife that I am, have left him dinner in the fridge and on the counter. See:

Hehehehehehehehehehehehahahahaha! I can't wait! I'm so baaaaad!

Anyway, I better get upstairs before he gets here and the joke is ruined. I will leave you all with a few pictures I found when I unloaded my camera for the kitchen shots.
