The Nursery

We got a video camera for ourselves for Christmas. So we have a test video to share with you.

37 weeks down...

She has arrived....at the ninth month! This may be the last post before Nora moves out of her growing house and into ours. We are ready to meet her and will send word as soon as we have accounted for all of her fingers and toes :) Though it may be a while yet as the due date isn't until January 5th.

Renovations to Baby House

Nora Grace is really starting to come into her own. She has made a lot of renovations to the nice brick home of last month. The floors are now hardwood and tile. A swimming pool out back looks nice next to the large built-in barbecue. A sun room and guest wing have been added. The list goes on and on........

7 months and counting

Nora got the big raise! and has moved into a well furnished, two story brick home in a very nice neighborhood -- 2 car garage included. (~7 months)

Pictures from Yosemite

Here are some of the pictures from our trip to Yosemite. We had a blast, and learned some things about traveling cross-country to an elevation of a 4,000 foot valley and 8,000 foot peaks. For instance, a light snow, even in October, closes roads at that altitude. Also, lows in the 40s and highs in the 70s doesn't mean you'll actually experience the 70s part.

Here are a few of our favorites

Progress

Well it has been quite a while since we have blogged.....a long time indeed since I have written a post. Well, despair no more!

This post is for everyone out there wondering how Mary Grace is coming along. The following is a pictorial account of the developing baby house.

First there was a small, one room efficiency apartment. (~2 months)


Then came the cute duplex on the corner. (~4 months)


Most recently the baby has moved into a more spacious starter home in a nice, quiet neighborhood. (~6 months)


Stay tuned for more pictures as the baby house progresses towards the eventual Big Mansion on the Hill.
