Thanksgiving 2007--39 Weeks







We had a fantastic Thanksgiving that started out with our "Thanksgiving Photo Shoot." We had a lot of fun documenting what we are really thankful for. We then headed to Cardee and Jere's annual Bloody Mary party--Jere even made the virgin version for me. Afterwards we went for a hike with the dogs at Watson Mill Bridge State Park. It was beautiful out since all the leaves had just changed and were falling all around us. We hiked for an hour and then headed home to make our turkey dinner complete with homemade cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes and the works. Our night was topped off with a pecan AND a pumpkin pie straight out of the oven. There may have only been two of us, but we lived it up in true Thanksgiving style.

37 Weeks--November 11, 2007




Playing ith Our New Toys

So we found B.C. and Maggie to be great testing subjects for our new toys. I love the way the sling works and laughed hysterically while carrying Maggie around the house for the test session. B.C. took pretty well to the jogging stroller but I don't think she'll mind never getting in it again. :)

Halloweeeeeen 2007

Jeff and I got some laughs this year as the high school jock and
the pregnant cheerleader. I managed to make my junior high cheerleading outfit fit (although the skirt did not really zip...surprise, surprise).
Jeff also went to town this year on the house. One day I came down from work to find him slaving away on a GIANT paper mache spider! Despite making fun of him for a month, I have to admit that the spider was an awesome addition to his decorations. He also made up some tombstones and 4 ghosts that he positioned around the yard. Boris, of course, also was dressed up as Frankenstein thanks to Jeff. :)




35 and 36 Weeks

Prep Work







Jeff and I have had fun preparing for the new arrival. From stripping and repainting the buffet in order to transform it into a changing table and dresser, to recovering the rocking chair, we've been having a blast. I've also been working on a painting for our Children's Classics inspired room. The idea of a magical flying ship full of classic characters like Pete's Dragon and Babar came to me last summer in Italy and I worked out a couple rough sketches on the plane home. It's now in the final stages of completion and will be a fun centerpiece over the crib when it's done.

More from the Nursery


The nursery has been finished and we love it! It actually livens up my office quite a bit.
