The Nursery, In Progress!

We may rearrange it, but for now we have a lot set up in there. All we need is a mattress for the crib and a few decorations for the walls and I think we'll be ready! All this and we still have 12 weeks to go, hahaha!

Entering the 3rd Trimester!

Here I am at 27 weeks! With Cassie, of course. Can't leave her out of the pictures!

Shower Weekend

Everyone had a great time this weekend at Devon and Tiggy's baby shower. We have a ton of pics and stories so we'll post more within the next few days.

The Manion family comes to visit

The Manion family came to visit us today.
On their way to Boston we got a visit from the Manion family-- Mark, Daniel, Charlie, and Wendy (behind the camera). Thanks for coming guys and thank you very much for the baby gifts!

22 Weeks and Definitely Bigger!

Baby Soon, Bigger Car Now . . .

Here's our new family-mobile! 2006 Honda Pilot in 'Amazon Green'. Quite a different drive than the 4-door Honda Civic we traded in, but we love the car! Plenty of space for Baby Miller with room in the back for Cassie (who was afraid of the new car and wouldn't jump in, I had to pick her up!).

just a test

Todd is 29!

We went out with 6 friends to one of our favorite restaurants, Chef Orient. As you can see, we had a good time. Especially with the mini cowboy hats that Matt bought for Todd! Oh, and the blow up guitar. Todd plays a mean air guitar. Hahaha.

Baby Miller is Half Baked!

I like this picture because Cassie looks like a crazed animal for some reason.

This picture definitely looks more realistic than last week's. I think last week's outfit was holding in my stomach!

AND, I felt him from the outside for the first time this week. Very weird feeling!

Almost halfway there!

This is 18 weeks, 5 days along. Cassie also wanted in on the picture action.

I think I look much bigger in real life!

IT'S A BOY!

We had our second ultrasound today and found out that we're having a boy! We are very excited and now we just need to come up with a name for Baby Boy Miller!

Here are two pictures from today's ultrasound. He was very active, moving around and even sucking on his fingers and moving his lips. Very cool to see!

Weekend In STL

We made a trip back to STL over Memorial Day weekend for my friend Tammy's wedding and to see some family and other friends. We had a great time seeing everyone in STL.

More pictures to come soon!

Cousin Olivia

Cassie is Two!

Yes its true... She's another year older. Although Cassie isn't a fan of the birthday hat, she's a trooper and put up with us. Man, it seems like almost yesterday that we were celebrating her 1st birthday...

Baby Miller, Due to Arrive Around November 11!

We're a little late updating this, but now that we've spread the news to most I figure it's time to post the baby's first ever photos:

This picture is from about 5 weeks ago at 9 weeks, 1 day:



And a shot of the tiny little spine:

At the Atlanta Zoo

Think this thing is related to Todd? :)

Another Nor'Easter

Ah yes, getting buried alive again!

Here's Cassie after burying her face in the snow.

Goodbye paint splattered carpet . . .

There were bland white walls and gross, paint splattered carpet with no padding underneath . . .





Cassie was quite helpful, she did a lot of standing and staring. :)



Hmmm, looks like Todd did a lot of standing and staring too???

Ahhh, New Carpet!

Again, Cassie figured she'd help out a little.

After . . .

New Years Eve

We had a few friends over for New Years Eve. Food, fun, games, etc!

Matt & Andrea, ready for 2006 but Matt looks a bit scared about the idea of a new year . . .



Kim and Kevin re-enacting their wedding day toast:



And then Todd, looking ever so . . . well, Todd.

Christmas Week Continued . . .

We went bowling! Ian, the old age of 3, had never been bowling so we decided it would be a fun event.

Here is a quick video:



For all of Ian's bowling videos, click here:

After Christmas, Regan, Scott, Ian and Anya came up to MA for a visit!

Scott helped us install new closet shelves but more importantly, our nephew Ian was the "Safety Inspector"! No one in the 'danger zone', no one inhaling 'dangerous fumes'!




And for good measure, here is our precious baby neice, Anya. I mean come on, does it get any cuter than this???

Christmas in NJ

We spent Christmas down in NJ at my sister's house and had a great time! It's really fun when there is a little kid involved who just loves Santa more than you can imagine.

Ian got an air hockey table that Todd and my brother seemed to think was for grown ups . . .







We also thought it would be funny to dress our dog up in Todd's t-shirt. Yes, we are insane dog people.

Chef Orient with April and Neil

 
This is my friend April (Jing) Hu and her husband, Neil. Devon and I went to Chef Orient with them tonight for a little hibachi action. We had a great time. Thank you April for being so great to work with this year. I really enjoyed it and hope next year we get to work together again (just not in New Jersey).

Before the snow

Before the snow last week, we spent a long time in the trails of Callahan State Park. This is a great park for dogs and only 10 minutes from our house.

Fred's Favorite

Todd is back from St. Louis where he got to hear lots and lots about good old . . .


Steel cut, gotta be steel cut . . .

It IS good, but man oh man have we heard a lot about this stuff. Just kidding Fred, we love the oatmeal!

Sill coming down . . .

Yes, our patio furniture is still out and it's snowing but that's not the point of this photo. So far today, we're at about 12 inches of snow!

Snowy day!

This was at 9:30, it's only gotten a LOT worse since then!
