So much to tell ya!

So much to say, and so little time ... so let's get started on a few updates from the last few weeks!

1. First and foremost, we found out last week that we're having a BABY BOY! And he wasn't afraid to show us :) We're already proud parents and think he's the cutest boy we've ever seen!

2. I've had many requests to post a belly shot. I've been hesitant because up until now, I've just looked like a chunk more than pregnant. I'm more than halfway through the pregnancy and am starting to feel a little better. I can finally feel the baby kick, which is lots of fun. Also, I'm starting to show more ... I mostly look chubby, but this picture makes me look slightly pregnant (probably the angle and the dress). This is one of the only belly shots you'll get, so enjoy!

3. My cute Mom came to visit me last week! We had a great time planning/making curtains for a few rooms in my house, shopping and cooking. She taught me how to make my Grandma Remund's famous Swiss bread ... I don't know if I'll ever be able to figure it out on my own since this is about the 5th time my mom has taught me how to do it. It was DELICIOUS, as you can see from these pictures.

And that about sums up the last few weeks!

A BBQ

Speaking of Christmas ... Santa (a.k.a Bill and Janet) came a little early this year and look what we got:

We've been grilling every night for dinner for the last week and LOVE it. Not only did they give us this great gift of deliciousness for years to come, but they also did A TON of house and yard work while they were here last week. I always feel so guilty when they come and slave away, but we appreciate all their help! Thanks so much, Bill and Janet--come again soon!
