A Busy Few Weeks

I know it has been awhile since we have posted and for that I apologize. We have been busy. Here are a few of the things that have happened:

1) We bought some things for the baby. We moved our big desk into our bedroom, so that we could set up the baby stuff in our guest room. Since we are planning to move in the summer of 2009 and don't know what we will take with us, we are trying to keep it as simple as possible. I am looking forward to having our own house one day, where we can buy matching furniture and paint and decorate her room. For now, this will do (and she won't know the difference anyways):

2) Last weekend, we babysat for our pastor and his wife's four daughters. They are ages 12, 11, 8, and 6. They are really great girls! We brought them over to our apartment on Saturday afternoon, cooked them chicken fingers and mashed potatoes, and watched "Cheaper by the Dozen 2" - we thought it was pretty funny. Parenthood is getting closer for us each day.

3) Brandon posed for a photo-shoot. He is going to get a haircut tomorrow (he went to get one a few weeks ago, but his barber Pascal was on vacation), so I thought I would document his long locks before they are gone:


4) I am now at 35.5 weeks. We can't wait for our little one to make her grand entrance! I have another appointment on September 30th (a week from tomorrow), and I am hoping that everything still looks good. I am feeling very large but am thankful that I have gained just the right amount of weight.

All of your nursery items look so European except for the swing that you bought in the U.S. I love your stroller. You will look so cute walking down the streets of Switzerland with it.

Has Brandon entertained the idea of dreadlocks? I think they might suit him, especially as he interviews at prestigious universities.

Love you guys! Kiss my little niece for me.

The baby's room looks so cute! I can't wait to meet our new granddaughter--I know that she and her cousin Carli will have lots of fun together!

It's fun seeing "wings" on Brandon again. :)

Love you all,
Mom
