The Man Room

With the realization that in less than five months I will be outnumbered 2 to 1 along with my tractor room being taken away to become the new guest bed room (The old one will be the nursery), I thought its time to be proactive. So off to Home Depot to get supplies to claim the last remaining part of the house that hasn't been taken over, the unfinished part of the basement.

With a little lumber to make some shelves this is one area that will not be invaded so easily. Plus it will be a nice retreat when you just need a little quiet time. Power tools are a different kind of quiet. :)

Baby Bump

Well It's been a few weeks sense I have posted a new picture of Carol. These past few weeks she really has started to look like she is going to have a baby.

Our little Girl!

This morning was an exciting one as Carol and I were able to have her 19th week ultrasound and able to find out the sex of our baby. We are happy to announce that we will be having a little girl. Everything looked good, she had a heart rate of 150 and the measurements were within 2 days of the expected due date of December 10. They were able to determine the sex pretty easily but she would not cooperate with a good picture of her face. She kept her hands by her face and looked like she was sucking both of her thumbs. Thats my Girl!

Spoiler Alert !

This will be a quick post and will have more information and pictures this evening. Carol and I just completed our 19th week ultra sound and were able to find out what we are having. If you would like to know, just scroll down!







ITS AAAAAAA









GIRL!!!!

Is it Sunday already?

Where do these three day weekends go. One minute you are getting home from work Thursday afternoon, next thing you know its Sunday night. We spend the weekend down in Oskaloosa with my parents visiting family and helping Dad clean out the machine shed.

We need to get the new machine shed built so that we can put our good tractor inside as shown below. Don't want the paint to fade :)

Friday evening was fun with the sparklers with the niece and nephew. They sure don't make sparkers like when we were kids. The one's we had were like welding rods, but I guess these are safer. So where is the fun in that?

Here is my Niece having a go at sky writting with sparklers.
