Step Into My Crib

Baby Dash's room has made great progress of late. New paint, new light fixture (thank you Bryan Faulds! assisted by Dave Schmidt), and crib/changing table assembled. Next up is the mattress and bedding.

Baby room done? You bet!

6 months complete and all systems go!

I know, I know. It's been a long time since the last post. We have no excuse other than we've been busy-busy with stuff. Always stuff. What kind of stuff you might ask? Well we've been fortunate enough to spend a weekend golfing with the Schmidts in Austin, MN; see big bro Dan; I went to Kansas City, MO for a few days; Ang went to Grand Rapids for a few days; we spent a weekend at the cabin where we ran into cousin Lisa; planted some new cedars in the area that got wiped out from the tree fall; had a wonderfully appreciated work baby shower and saw LCD Soundsystem and the Arcade Fire at Roy Wilkins. All the while Angie started her new job, she's been working on her yoga and checking out the local doulas, we've been exploring the public transportation options around here, and the house, car, and our pets are constantly demanding attention. Welcome to adulthood huh?

So, anyway, everything baby wise is 'right down broadway'. All signs are average all the way. Over the cabin weekend I was able to feel a 'kick' for the first time. All I can say is freaking incredible! Baby Dash is definitely rocking out in there. Particularly during the concert. Dance-Baby-Dash-Dance! Angie just rounded the 2nd trimester and is heading for home (or is that the 3rd tri?). Anyway, the 3rd base coach is most certainly waving for home. So, take heart loyal readers. Everything is great and there's more to come.

I leave you with a pic of our current children, who sense their waining days of attention and are trying to be cute.
