Happy 2nd Anniversary to Us! (And 31 weeks pregnant!)

Josh and I went to Door County in Wisconsin for our 2nd Wedding Anniversary. It was absolutely beautiful. We stayed at a Bed and Breakfast, visited all of the charming little towns along the drive, and went to Washington Island on a ferry. The highlight of the trip was probably this beautiful sunset that we got to watch over Lake Michigan. We took these pictures at sunset in Ephraim, WI.

This is a picture of me and Baby O at 31 weeks.

House for Sale

We are moving to Wisconsin!  That means our house is for sale.  The first picture is of our neighborhood beach across the street from our house.  The second picture is a view of the lake from the walking path near our house.  I'll miss these pretty views!

21 Week Pictures

We are having a baby girl. She is due September 10th. Here are some pictures from our 21 week ultrasound.

Our Naked Yard

YES we tore out all of the plants in our front yard. Part of me says, "what were we thinking?" But, now we just have to fill in the empty space with some nice new landscaping. I'll post pictures of our new and improved yard when we have finished planting new stuff.

List Items Completed as of 9/09

#22. Go to an aquarium. I was lucky enough to get to go to Sea World with my good friends Katie and Emily last month. We saw Cirque Del Mer, Shamu, dolphins, penguins, manatees, and sea otters. I love Sea World!

#58. Double Emergency Savings Fund - Finally, Josh and I were able to save up enough for a "safety net". Now, we can't just can't spend it ;)

#66. Remove Rocks from Yard - Karen and Mik came to help us one weekend. We had a Toyota Tundra truck bed FULL of landscaping rocks to remove. I will post pictures when I find my camera!

#76. Visit Houghton - We spent last Friday in Houghton - it was good to see good friends in all our old places - the DT deck, Ambassador, Dog, KBC, Bet Sigs basement, Phi Kaps....ahhhh the good old days :)

#92. See a production by Cirque de Soleil - I was able to complete two items on my list in one - we got to see a Cirque performance at Sea World. Acrobats flying on trapezes and then jumping off trampolines into the Ocean - it was AMAZING!

Delicious and very beautiful cakes.

Brothers? Or father/son? Who knows?

What a lovely basket of programs!

Josh had a hard time finding his boutineer, so he made his own. Very nice, Josh.

When a picture says a Thousand Words

It's all fun and games, until the trampoline splits. OUCH!

#44 - Visit Milwaukee

Our visit to Milwaukee was a blast. Our friend, Jason, had an art exhibit that we got to go to. Here are some pictures from the trip.

Me enjoying part of Jason's "Quintet"

More of Jason's artwork. Jazzy ;)

Art you can play.

Art you can wear. That's Jason, Sasha, Ed, and Jake

Art you can live in. Josh took a nice nap in this art tent.

Art exploded in the hallway.

After our artsy experience, we went to Sprecher's Brewery for a tour and some samplings. Here's the group having a brew.

Yay for Milwaukee beer!
