We made it back to the states! We are in Seattle now and will be home soon. Here are a few pictures from the trip! Starting with the mall security guard...Junior


This was the view the first two mornings we were there.



This was the view from either side of the peninsula we were on.


The Chatterbox Falls are one of the largest glacial waterfalls in the world.



We have a lot of photos that are artsy but it's 3 in the morning and I need sleepy

Well, we are going to be in British Columbia from the 21st through the 30th while I lead a high school camp and Court takes a little vacation. We just bought a new fangled camera so Court will experiment. When we get back, I'll put more pictures up. Some from the trip and some of the pregnant one.

Does this help Amy.

She still doesn't look that pregnant from the front.


She still doesn't like to take pictures because she says she feels silly. (you can see the awkwardness in her face!)

Here are a few of the costumes I have to wear for the trip to British Columbia next week.

We are closing on a house in the next couple weeks. Here are a few pictures!


This is a shot from the family room to the kitchen.

Here she is. If you haven't seen her in a while (which is most of you), she's starting to show. This is 20 weeks. She looks great for half way!


I'm sure most of you were wondering how I am doing. It's been rough on me too but I've been able to keep pace with her.

Here is one of the pictures I didn't post before.

I was hoping to have a child that follows my footsteps...a lover, not a fighter. You can see her arms up like she is going to fight the ultrasound doppler thingy in this one. Well, I guess I can hope for red hair!

Like I said earlier, we got our ultrasound today. Here are the pictures!

This is a great picture of the spine (she is facing down and her head is on the right)


The arrow points to her "her" parts and the lack of boy parts. Therefore she is a girl.


The doctor already called her a pistol. She (the baby) spent most of the time mooning us and hiding her face. This is the best profile the doctor could get.

Her lips are directly below the "o" and "f" in the word profile. Right under the "l" and "e" is her hand that she was using to mess up the rest of the pictures.

We had a trip to the doctor today for the 20 week check-up and things are normal. Court is gaining weight and I am to. (I actually read a study today that up to 67% of men gain weight during their wife's pregnancy because of hormone things.) Later today I am going to post the pictures of the ultrasound. Our little princess is due around October 3rd.

Alas, my medically approved excuse!
