SNOW!!!!

It snowed in Dallas, and the greater area. We got 6 1/2 inches! We still had to go to work on Thursday and might have to go in in a little while today if we can get out.

Happy Birthday Miriam!

Yesterday, Jan 24, was Miriam's birthday and I hope that I made it as perfect as could be. We started off with a Ross pancake breakfast, and then went and saw Leap Year with Amy Adams. After that I took her to the Coach outlet at the Allen Premium Outlets to get a new purse! Unfortunately she didn't find one she really loved - so we are going to look around and she'll just get a slightly belated birthday present. After that we shopped around some, looking mostly at baby stuff, then we went home and waited for the Saints game to come on. For dinner I made her steak & sausage kabobs with Ross homemade mashed potatoes, and we ate in the candlelight. To finish off her birthday, the Saints decided to go to the Super Bowl!!

Anyway, hopefully she enjoyed her birthday!

Little One on the way

We found out in December that we have a little one on the way!! Trying to think of names for it - maybe Junior if it's a boy, or Elizabeth Ann if it's a girl. We won't find out until March though since Miriam is only 13 weeks (and 1 day) along so far, but we definitely want to know. Can't wait!!

I (Andrew) want a boy, but will most definitely be just as happy with a girl! We can't wait!

The picture is of the first ultrasound that was taken on December 18th, I think he/she is about 2 centimeters long at that point. I still need to scan in the latest ultrasound picture - it's a lot blurrier though because apparently the kid takes after his father, in that he/she is a little jumper! We didn't get to hear the heartbeat either because he/she was jumping around too much.

The Beginning...

Hello family and Friends!
I am trying something, besides Facebook, to let family keep up with everything. With many new things in our lives, Andrew and I want our family to know what we are up to since all of them live so far away!
Hope everyone enjoys!
