More Halloween...

With Halloween right around the corner, we thought we would share just a couple more family pictures. Below are some of Fred's best looks. Actually now that I think about it, I'm not sure if these are really from Halloween or those "business trips" he always went on. Hmmm...

More oldies, but goodies . . .

Doesn't get much cuter than this! (Unless this was a picture of Devon, of course).



Todd's First Halloween (1977):



Todd and Emily, early 80's:

Todd and Fred, Halloween '79

Fall in New England

We went out today and picked up a bunch of pumpkins to decorate outside the house. Luckily they welcome dogs so we brought Cassie with us.

Refinishing the Deck; Part II

We tried this last summer and it didn't come out so well, so Todd did it again and it looks much better now! (We still need an official "after" picture).

35 Weeks, 35 Days Left!

Man, I'm really getting big now!

Cassie didn't fully cooperate for this photo.

Too funny not to post

34 Weeks!

34 weeks, and 30 years old! Happy Birthday to ME!

Finally, We're Grown Ups!

After years of mismatched furniture, we finally have a real bedroom set!

We (well, Todd) painted the bedroom a nice tan/sand color and it's starting to look nice in there!

As usual, Cassie helped out:










And then of course she had to test out the new sleeping arrangements. Although with this belly, she's not allowed to sleep with us anymore. There's not enough room!

We're getting big!

My sister sent me a picture of her belly yesterday and I couldn't believe how much it looked like mine, so I sent her a picture. (yes, maybe we have too much time on our hands, hahaha).

30 Weeks! Only 10 Left, EEK!

Well, technically this picture is 30 weeks 1 day, but who's counting . . .

Cassie already loves baby Miller

We didn't put her paw there, she did it herself!

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!).

test

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!

Brennan, Anthony & Tammy


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:
