It must be winter because shower season is over

Last sunday we had friends over for the last of the baby showers. Thanks so much for all gifts! Angie, myself, and baby dash in particular really appreciate everything! Big kudos to organizers Anne Gelbman, Sally Peterson, Laura Millberg, Jan Schmidt, Mandi Lighthizer-Schmidt, and Amy Kay Kerber Sagor for putting all the showers together! At the onset of this whole process my worries included the acquisition of all the necessary baby gear. I quickly realized that there would be no problems. There are a lot of people out there that want to see baby dash succeed. We just happen to know and be related to a lot of them.

On a related note, Angie is at 34 weeks. Naps are more frequent, the walks aren't as vigorous, and dash's actions cause more short breaths and 'oohs'. Though she doesn't admit it, I think Angie is about ready to get her body back. She responds well to positive encouragement.

A Little Halloween Fun

At the last minute we decided to hand out candy. We went to Target but they were sold out! Menard's to the rescue, they have everything. It was a little slower than expected (only about 15 kids) but we got our pumpkin carve on so it was worth it.

Meanwhile, Angie's humming along at almost 8 months. Dash is a super action kicker now. I wake up every morning to some thumps.
