A Really Long Post

As usual it has been a while so this post is really long. Without further adieu...


We took a little trip to the beach to visit Ooloo & Poppie. Mamaw the Great came along for a colorful and interesting ride.


William got a little silly and earned the nickname "Strainer Spitz".


...wonder who taught him that.


This is a photo of mommy at the same age as William. Those may be mommy's eyes and coloring but the rest is all daddy!


More home improvements (this was during, not the actual improvement). Our bedroom went way downhill before it got better.


And for a few days we set up camp in the den.

-{I almost feel like I need to add an intermission here}-


William loves giving Neifi hugs. He hasn't been as successful with kisses.


As I am late in reporting, we got snow here earlier this week. And not just the typical wussy amount that NC gets but a real snow - like a postcard amount of snow.


It was lovely and William has enjoyed looking out the window and talking about it.


He did not enjoy being in it. Once he fell and touched it and realized how cold and wet it is he was ready to head inside and take his hat off.


Maybe he will enjoy it when he gets older. But for now we have had a great time admiring it from inside.


This is the control panel on his Little Einstein rocket ship. Note that only three continents are named (leaving out a few important and rather large ones). Also note the image on the left...when he pulls the lever different places of interest from around the world pop up. As I took the photo he pulled the lever and the Statue of Liberty popped up. His rocket loudly proclaimed, "Wow! It's the Great Wall of China". Einstein would be proud.

William Around the House

Over the weekend Brad was doing some home improvement and William is already his most devoted helper.

Holding the ladder for Daddy.

Gratuitous cute photos...




That is one brave bunny sitting in our driveway (considering our two vicious hunting cats). It would be like a chocolate dessert that decides to hang out anywhere around Brad.

Goings On

It has been a busy week in our household. Still hard at work getting the house in shape for the little man's arrival. Converting the guest room into a nursery left us without a place to put our guests, so we have spent the better part of the last month converting our living room into a guest room. We'll post some pictures later. It's really starting to look like a genuine guest room. Just in time for my mom's upcoming visit this week. We haven't seen mom since pre-pregnancy days, so it should be a special, though all too brief, time.

We got to see baby Hohenadel this weekend. Cute, cute kid. They're doing a great job, and we're looking forward to watching their little guy grow up. They were six weeks ahead of us, so that was a clear signal that we are in the home stretch. Time to brace ourselves...

The nursery

Well, after much blood, sweat, and tears, the nursery is getting close to being ready for the boy. We still have one more small shelf to install in the closet, and we have to put down the threshold. Other than that, a little decorating and lighting, and we'll be there. Here are a couple of shots.

UPDATE: And major props to Ryan Hohenadel who put in hours of sweat in helping put down the flooring. You're the man Ryan.
