20 Week Check In

We had our twenty week ultra sound recently and the baby looks healthy and great. It's got two legs...AND two arms!! We do know the gender, so if you want to know, you'll have to call us! Below is one of what the doctor called the baby's "Skeletor" poses.

Project Belly, 4 months

Shannon has graciously, and a tad begrudingly, agreed to sit for a series of monthly poses that I am dubbing "Project Belly." The results of this process are below...you'll notice that it's still early (4 1/2 months), but as I said to inspire Shannon for the photo shoot, "just think how cool it will look at 8 months!"

Pics from Vieques

Here's a few (long overdue) pictures from our Christmas sojourn down to Vieques, Puerto Rico. Oh, and yes, that's the pilot of the plane that Shannon's sitting next to. And yes, she did fly the plane in high heels.

Confessions

Today's confession is that we're not very diligent bloggers, which you no doubt are privy to if you look at this with any kind of frequency. Well...no where to go but up! Perhaps there's a new year's resolution here somewhere.

And...They're Off!

We leave tomorrow for sunny Vieques in Puerto Rico, and needless to say, we're a little excited. We've been digging shorts and t-shirts out of closets and debating the merits of wearing flip flops to dinner. There's supposed to be a little rain while we're there, but the temperature isn't supposed to dip below 70, even at night, so we'll take it. We'll miss the cold and slush of Burlington, but we'll do our best to get by. Here's a beach scene for your pleasure. Merry Christmas!!

A Teacher's Life

Thought I'd share some photos of Shannon with her latest Kindergarten conquest: The foam gingerbread house. Ah, the life of a teacher.

Let The Baby Gifts Begin!

Here's a picture of our very first baby gift. Shannon received it as a Secret Santa present at work. So if you're thinking of a Santa bib, keep your wallets in your pockets because we're all covered.
