Dog Kisses

Hungry Girl
Looks like Grandma is too busy rocking Marshall to feed McKenna.
She's had to resort to getting her food from the TV.
Good thing it was Baby Einstein's Old McDonald show or else she might have starved to death!

First Dinner Out
Marshall went out to dinner at his first real restaurant (not a mall food court) recently. Thai food - yum! Of course he ate before we left so Marshall pretty much napped through the meal, but I figure that's the best thing for a baby to do at a restaurant. We were accompanied (driven, actually) by Matt, Jodie and McKenna.
I made our poor waitress take a picture to mark the big event. You can just barely see him hiding out in his car seat turquoise pacifier in his mouth, of course.

Two Months Old Today!
March 12, 2008
Wow! Time sure flies! I can't belive Marshall is already two months old.
I know I was going to try and do my past entries first and catch up to the present, but I couldn't let this milestone go unnoticed.
Today, while he was on the changing table (one of his favorite places for playtime!),I took some pictures of him. He was having fun smiling and laughing.
Later when I made him do some tummy time, he was not nearly as happy!

Big Bellies
November 2007
This is a picture of Erica and me from the beginning of November. She was about two weeks away from her due date (I think) and I was somewhere around 2 months away from mine.
Brad took this picture and I think it is pretty cute. How often do two sisters get to be pregnant and together at the same time?

Visitors from NC
Early January 2008
In order to see David for a bit and hoping for the arrival of a little one, David and Suzanne flew out to visit us. We had a great visit with them, but no new baby...
The doctors kept telling me the baby could come any day - even though I was still a few days away from the due date. Since there was no one new in the family by the time David and Suzanne arrived, I felt sure they'd be here when I had the baby and the little one would get to meet both sets of grandparents at once.
No such luck.
They were here for a long weekend and we mostly did a lot of hanging around the house and visiting. Also, they did a lot of dog walking on the Prairie Path and around the neighborhood. Since I spent the last month or so of my pregnancy limping around (as Mom said) like I had one leg shorter than the other because of a combination of a muscle pull and sciatic nerve pain, the poor pups were having to depend upon playtime in their wonderful, but small, backyard and the occasional visit to Matt's house for exercise. The dogs were already happy to have Dad home to play with them, but I think they were beside themselves to have their top walkers in town for a visit. What joy! Walks in the snow, walks in the rain, walks in the mud and they even got to show off how well they play with their cousins when we went over to visit Carter and Radar one morning.
While David and Suzanne were here, we had one of David's good friends and his family out for dinner. Farr and Kimberly have three of the sweetest, most well-behaved kids and it was such fun to have them out. Mom made us all a great meal, Dad helped entertain the little ones and the rest of us tried to catch up with one another's lives all the while wondering if Farr was going to have to jump in the car and rush Kimberly to the hospital since she thought she was having labor pains -- even though I was due about two weeks before her! What a pro - she was totally calm about the whole thing and we made it through the evening with no trips to the hospital.
All in all, it was a great visit for us and we hope David and Suzanne enjoyed themselves. We were only sorry to find out our little one takes after his dad and was determined to be late arriving!

Dad-to-be Comes Home
December 28, 2007
What a shock he came home to! I had been sending David pictures so he would know how big I was getting, but I guess they just didn't do me justice - or maybe I hadn't taken too many in the last month. He seemed to be truly surprised by what he found when he came home. I knew I was big, but I think I didn't know how odd I looked until I saw pictures of myself from those last few weeks. Yikes!
Here's a picture of us at our Post-Christmas Christmas celebration.
Later, David thought I might have my hands full with two dogs and a baby so he decided to see about taking one of the pooches back to South America with him.
Daisy looks pretty comfortable,
but, from the look on David's face, Fado has put on a few pounds. Guess she needs her running partner back home to stay!
Looks like I'm stuck with both of them here.
While he was "home", my due date came and went. The next day, we celebrated Matt's and David's birthdays. Here is a picture from that night - David, his carrot cake, me and my huge belly.
