It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Downtown Gettysburg...
Presents under the tree...

A REAL Christmas tree (for the first time in 3 years!)...

A growing belly...

We hope Christmas is "showing up" in your home too!

Baby on board (happy birthday Dad Polk)

This changes everything...




We had our 21 week checkup today. Everyone is healthy. Reality is beginning to set in.

PS: It seems that our life is already becoming consumed by baby. We used to get annoyed when friends would only talk about the baby. Now we understand that fighting this reality is like fighting gravity. Please be patient, we will do our best to keep things interesting.

Not a snow dog

Last week we got a few inches of snow. Our first real snow of the season! I thought that Moses would for sure love to play in the snow, you know, like dogs do - romp all around and eat the snow and run all around our backyard then come inside nice and tired. So, I decided that over my lunch break I'd let him out and this was the result...









He would get scared when he sniffed it and it moved. I did get him to pee eventually, but it took some coaxing. Looks like we don't have a snow dog after all. He'd rather be standing next to the "hot box!"
