SURPRISE!

On Saturday, February 12th, we had a surprise 30th birthday party for Wally. I made the plans and the Zukowski's so graciously allowed me to start the night off at their house! The tricky part of course was getting Wally out of the house, but luckily his dad made reservations to play some virtual golf at the mall and Wally thankfully agreed to go!

All of the guests arrived about 6 PM and Wally and his dad arrived around 6:30. I have to say that Wally was completely surprised - he had NO IDEA!!! After some La Grotto's pizza and nuggets and a Steve's Bakery cake, we headed out to Verucchi's and Sidetracks for some drinks. It was defintely a fun night!

President's Day Weekend

When Wally and I were trying to get pregnant, we said that if I wasn't pregnant by this weekend, we were going to take a trip to Vegas for a getaway [Vegas was lucky for us last time :) ]! While Vegas sounds like a lot of fun right now, I am much more excited to be having a baby in 20 (give or take) weeks! So instead we are...

• having carpet installed in 2 bedrooms upstairs.
• possibly transitioning Luke to his big boy room.
  
• heading to Key Lime Cove for a little waterpark fun.
• having our 20-week ultrasound done.

I am looking forward to a great, LONG weekend!

Vegas - we'll get back to you someday!

Only 5 Months...

Less than 5 months until Baby Z.'s due date...5 months...that's it!!! I have a feeling the time is going to go quickly, well except the usually ever-miserable last month. I will be 20 weeks on Saturday - that's the halfway point - wow!

I had a doctor's appointment last Wednesday and everything is still great. The baby is moving quite a bit, in fact, the baby was moving so much that my doctor was having a hard time getting the heartbeat. She kept saying, "it moved, oops it moved again" - it was too funny! Is that the sign of an uncooperative baby? I hope not! :)

We have scheduled our 20 week ultrasound/anatomy scan for Monday the 21st. We can't wait to see our little bambino and hopefully hear the great news that we are having a....HEALTHY BABY :)

Here are some pics taken today. I noticed my last belly pic I was wearing black too. I don't purposely wear black when I am pregnant, I just wear black A LOT!!!

ABC's

Luke can sing his ABC's; however, he often only makes it to the letter P. I would say he sings the complete song about 20% of the time and of course I have yet to get that on video.

A Birthday and a Blizzard

Today, February 2nd, 2011, is Wally's 30th birthday! It is also day 2 of the Blizzard of 2011. So all of us got a snow day, but unfortunately Wally had some manual labor to tackle outside!

We have lots to cover today so here goes!!!

Here is what we did while the snow was still falling and blowing!

Here are some pics of the crazy snow!

Poor Nala wasn't busting through that to go to the bathroom!


Drifts as tall as our patio furniture on the deck


There are lilac bushes under there




Drift in the front


We can't see out of our front windows!




Thank goodness for helpful neighbors and their snowblowers!

Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!!!

(Wally got news that there is no school again tomorrow because of the ridiculously freezing temps and wind chill we are supposed to have so hopefully he can relax a bit more than he did today!)
