Dad's Day

This Father's Day has new meaning for me, because Jason is now a dad. The past few Father's Days have been especially hard for me, but now I can focus on celebrating Jason's new role as a father. You're an amazing dad, J! Love ya! :)

... I miss you dad! You would have been an awesome grandpa ...

I love this guy ...

Taking Advantage

Jason and I have off this week in preparation for the baby, so we went to the Domes during free admission yesterday. Here are a couple of the many pictures we took (with our new digital camera - also bought in preparation for the baby :))

Changes

Lots of changes coming our way in the next couple months. It seems like change comes in clusters, at least for us :) Rarely does just one thing happen without one or two other fairly major changes as well. When Jason got his first paid full-time ministry position, not only was it a new job adjustment - it was also moving halfway across the country to California and weeks later dealing with my dad's death back in Wisconsin. Now J has a new job and a new baby just around the corner! Which will most likely also be accompanied by a new house, although this time in the same general vicinity. I'm excited about every change, but naturally anxious to see how it'll all fall into place. And right now, with inducement one day away, I'm pretty darn scared too!

Baby Hiccups

I do believe our baby just had a case of the hiccups in the womb :)

Baby Bump

It's really amazing to look down at your belly and see something moving beneath the surface. No doubt about it, that baby is alive! To feel it moving and kicking is amazing too. A bit annoying when you're trying to get some sleep, but hey - a miracle nonetheless :) I'm truly excited to meet this little guy!!!

Demotivators

Despair.com has some funny ones ... just came across this one and it made me smile.
