A few snapshots of life in Juneau... |
| Here is what our Christmas card would have looked like, had we not decided to save money and not send them after all. :) |
 |
| Here is our door of Christmas cards which we are thankful the senders decided to send! It is nice to be reminded of people we love and do not get to see much. |
 |
| Juneau bounty: this is a pile of gifts people have given us since finding out we are pregnant. More books than I could ever read, some cute clothes and toys and maternity clothes are buried in there. |
 |
| A cute ornament that showed up in the mail this past week from one of Brian's cousins. |
 |
| My co-worker got me those little knitted extra-tuf booties and I couldn't resist this photo op. |
 |
| I remember when Maude wasn't too much bigger than those little boots. Now she is a approaching 75 pounds. |
 |
| My maternal instincts caused me to bring home a friendly dog who was walking down the middle of the road one day while I was walking home from work. He had no collar and so I just kept prompting him to follow me freely, and he did. He was so sweet and I couldn't walk away knowing he could possibly get hit by a car. We eventually tracked down the owner thanks to the humane society and he was returned. In the meantime, he and Maude enjoyed begging for whatever Brian was cooking here and some good play time. |
 |
| I will be the first to admit that I am decoratively challenged. I am secretly hoping nesting instincts will help with that. Here is my latest effort. |
 |
| Brian is definitely outdoing me in the nesting category. He spent 27 hours one weekend refinishing the rest of the hardwood floor in our upstairs. |
 |
| We enjoyed a very cold, but rain-free hike yesterday up Salmon Creek Reservoir. |
 |
| This is my belly around 19 weeks. My body has felt awesome and continues to support my CrossFit and yoga habits, for which I am thankful. This baby is a good workout buddy already. Half-way point is just a few days away! Other tidbits about this baby: it likes to reveal itself on somewhat memorable days. First day of Fall: I found out I was pregnant. Halloween: We saw it for the first time on ultrasound. Christmas Eve: I felt movements for the first time At this rate, I'm banking on either Memorial Day or my birthday for its arrival :) |
