Summer is flying by!! I feel like every day we're so busy that the weeks fly by and I'm already into my third trimester this week! Let' see, this week has been full of babysitting (see pics on left), painting, deck staining (that's Ed's job), and an interesting trip to Home Depot with my dad and Ed to pick out ceiling tiles.
Sunday we got to babysit for our niece and nephew, Zander and Alivia. Or should I say, practice for the real thing. We took them up to my cousin's graduation party, where they had much fun bouncing in one of those blow up castles.
Wednesday mom came down and helped me paint the nursery. I hate painting. HATE it. But I like the end results. This one looks pretty good. Got us excited. I'll post some pics when it's all decorated and done.
Well, I have a couple days off work now. And tomorrow is the all day "Birth and Parenting" Class. I mean ALL day. So hopefully it's interesting and we learn a thing or two. Like what we're supposed to do with her when we actually get to take her home:)
Have a good week!

So far so good
Jen and I were married just over a year ago. Jen is better looking today than ever! I can’t wait to come home and see her, hold her and kiss her everyday.
It really is the little things that I have been noticing. She does the laundry but doesn’t put my clothes away, I love that, and I get to finish the job. She doesn’t complain even when she is pregnant and is at an art show for 3 hours on her feet. She has the Twins games on in the evening, because SHE wants to watch! She cooks great meals. She keeps up on a lot of household chores, shopping, cleaning, pays bills on time and so on.
I do what I can too, trying not to let her spoil me too much. I kill bugs, do some light yard work, make a mess in the basement and the garage and keep the fridge stocked with beer. I think I work hard too, between my job and my art projects there isn’t don’t always much time for anything else.
So, as we near our one-year anniversary, have a baby on the way we are settling into our family life together. There is something that everyone should know, I won! I have the greatest wife ever! I love you Jen.

07.11.08
The past week has been fairly busy with work and Ed's show. The show went great, thanks to everyone that came out and supported Ed and his art. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and I heard a lot of great compliments on his work (this is my chance to brag!).
We had the last of our weekly ultrasounds this week and everything looked great! Now probably no more until we get to see the real thing in a few months!!
Today is very, very hot. Pretty much our air conditioner is on all the time now and I feel like I have a heater in my belly. Yesterday Ed actually complained that it was cold in the house. I was roasting, so the A/C stayed on. So other than my trip to the chiropractor, I have not gone outside today. Actually I've had a hard time leaving the couch today. I've been so exhausted the last few days and not totally sure why. But I have to work all weekend so I figure I'm resting up for that. I do 12 hour shifts at the hospital and those are getting pretty long. Ok, enough complaining about how rough it is to be me. I'm headed back to the couch.

Happy 4th of July!
I can't believe it's here already but hope everyone had a happy, safe 4th. We have a tradition of going down to my dad's cousin's house. They live in Hudson and have a great house on the beach with a lot of beach property and always throw a fantastic party every 4th. It usually involves a lot of relaxing, swimming, catching up with people we haven't seen in awhile, and volleyball. This year I finally had a legitimate excuse not to play volleyball. (Besides the standard "I really suck and don't want to embarrass myself" - that one doesn't usually work).
It was a great time, beautiful weather and very relaxing. We came home after dinner and Jenni crashed on the couch. Our plan was to walk down to Powderhorn Park to watch fireworks but Jenni wasn't moving. When we heard them start though, we actually walked right out into the front yard and had a great view right from there. And then could go right back to bed.
Today is drywall day downstairs. Dad, Ed and a couple of his friends are working on the basement room to help get it done. My job - supply the food and beer. Guess I can handle that.
This week is Ed's big art opening for those of you in town! Thursday night from 7-10, if you want more info let me know, we'd love to see you!
