time flies - and Claire's trying to fly too!

baby girl

Well, I guess by now I assume everyone who reads this is also seeing my posts on Facebook, but for archiving sake and in case my assumption is wrong, I'm updating the blog anyway.

Ryan and I went on Friday, the 21st for my 20-week ultrasound in Nashville.  We had a great time getting to see the baby for about a full hour.  In addition to finding out that we're expecting a girl, we saw that she's measuring the right size for her due date and looks healthy.  I edited the 30+ minutes of video down to some highlights on YouTube.

I had been feeling great until coming down with a sinus infection this week.  Thanks to some antibiotics, I think I'm close to kicking it though.  Speaking of kicking, I am reminded all day long that I'm not alone!  Ryan can't wait until he can feel the baby moving too.

swimsuit-defying flying trick

Watch Carson's swimsuit. ;P

not landlocked anymore

skating on the news

Ryan and I were on the news last night during the Predators public skate. Look for the Predators jersey (me) and Alaska hoodie (Ryan). We're on there twice.

Pachelbel's following me

in honor of Manny's grand slam

Manny supposedly being hurt and coming in to pinch hit with bases loaded in the bottom of the 6th against the Reds on Manny Ramirez bobblehead night at Dodger Stadium reminded me of this video. All he needed was one pitch.

This video cracks me up. My favs are Manny's double, not HR and Youkilis's 3rd strike looking. Don't know why they didn't include Nomar . . .

Also on YouTube . . .
Batting Stance Guy Impresses Manny Ramirez
This one's hilarious b/c Manny's cracking up watching the guy impersonate everyone.

Highland's way of disposing of old chemistry supplies. Our benzyl peroxide couldn't be transported anywhere, so the bomb squad came in and blew it up for us. Wasn't that nice of them? Not to mention we got to meet a lot of our neighbors in the process. :)

ice tricks, part II

I spread the word this morning that the ice was ready to play on, so after church and potluck I convinced some more people to venture out there!

Talking to dad on the phone. He got off when I told him we were about to drive the golf cart across.

Oops! Nikie's sliding attempt didn't go so well.

This one was better.

Here's a procrastinator if I ever saw one.

Tyler again - this was about as far over the pond as he went.

Nikie and me

Ryan and me

in transition

Nikie and Chadd got word Thursday that they could start moving into the boys' dorm apartment. A bunch of us helped them get things put in boxes and started moving things over with Jeff's trailer and the school Suburban. What this really meant was that Ryan and I could soon move into Chadd & Nikie's old house! Ryan and I took apart my crazy bookshelf in anticipation.

Packing the refrigerator magnets

This stuff was mostly from bringing Ryan's stuff up from Collegedale. You think the apartment was a little small for us?

The apartment's exterior (plus the Watkins' golf cart that I killed off-roading with it)

Finally Sunday the house was empty. Ryan and I went up to check it out.

Me in the garage - we can fit both cars and the Sea Doo in here!

The outside of the new house

Randy and Mary Jane offered to come help us finish moving and unpack, so we gladly took them up on it! They made the process much easier and quicker. We really appreciate it!!!

It pretty much looks like this now. See the new tables!!!

I'm getting the books organized.

The refrigerator was delivered yesterday. We're so excited to have a dishwasher!!!

The "office" where the second TV and couch will go, along with our computers.

I'm gonna try to put a video on this post too. I have to add a disclaimer that I didn't listen to the video before I posted it . . .

as promised

the end

In case you wondered how we got the picture from the "Juneau Where We Are?" post.
