Snow

We will go outside tomorrow and play in the snow some more...but tonight while Greg was taking out the garbage, Ivy went to play for just a few minutes. Here are 2 pictures of that. I will post more from tomorrow too. :)

Microsoft Holiday Bash 2008

Last night Greg and I went to the Microsoft Holiday Bash. We both had a very good time. There were 2 different buildings with lots of different rooms and the buildings were connected by a covered walkway.




At one point I mentioned to Greg that dill pickles sounded good. He went at talked to a server to talked to the manager. He explained to the manager he had a pregnant wife who was looking for pickles. They didn't have any but the manager was so sweet and actually went to the store and got some. They were perfect.


All around the place there were these glowing balls that change colors. Greg decided to dance with them to the music. This is what it looked like. One picture is with flash and the other is what it really looked like in the dark.

Oops forgot Halloween

I just realized when I sync'd my camera that I forgot to post the halloween pics of Ivy. We went trick or treating at Microsoft. This entailed walking from office to office getting candy from bowls that people had put out for the kids. It didn't take Ivy long to get the hang of things. Soon she was bounding down the halls, going from chair to chair like a ping pong ball. Sometimes the employees were in their office working and we had to stop and remind her to say trick or treat. :)

We also have some picture of her "cooking" with my apron on and learning to lick the inside of an oreo cookie.

Enjoy...

Update

I am now 15 weeks pregnant and things seem to be getting better. I have more good days then bad and am not taking sleeping aids or nauseous meds anymore. I am hoping for some of the more annoying first trimester traits to go away soon. :)

This last week we put up our very first family Christmas tree. It was fun. We drank hot chocolate or coffee, ate cinnamon pull-aparts and listened to Bing Crosby's Christmas cd all morning. Here are some pictures of the day.







They were tired after it was all done.

12 Weeks

Earlier this week Greg and I got to hear the heartbeat of the baby. Things sound good so far, loud and strong. :) Thank you all for your continued prayers. Now it's 2 more months and then we can find out what the sex of the baby is.

Take care,
