St. Louis Visit

Had a great visit with mom, dad and grandma last weekend. It was a quick visit but totally worth it! Lot's of shopping, good food, good conversations and Dogopoly. Dad kicked our butts both times!

Construction Update

Three weeks down. One more to go.

We love our crew! Lawrence, Dave, Oswar and Freddy.

Drywall started on Monday and continued through today.

I snapped some pictures of the guys in action when we were home on Monday, since it's been dark when we get home at night.

And check it out, we finally have a brand new, clean skylight!

Field of Dreams

That's the name of the dog park in San Rafael. We went there on Monday to get out of the house, since our construction crew worked over the weekend. Let's just say I'd hardly call it dreamy. It was a bit rough for our little precious . Anyway, Cole got a B+. We were quite proud that he sniffed some butt, hopped into the car on his own, and well, didn't get humped. In typical herding fashion, he wasn't that social and just stood there and barked most of the time and preferred that I catch his ball instead of him.

We tried. I think it made him happy.

24 Weeks Bump

Hit the six month mark this week!

Rain DOES do good things!

In case you live in a cave and haven't heard it's been raining in CA for over a week now. Some days non-stop. Lucky for me, I missed a few days of it while I was in Minneapolis for work. Enjoying winter in MSP rather than in SFO? Crazy, right?

Anyway, John discovered something beautiful on his bike ride this afternoon. A waterfall at the top of street created from all the water accumulation from the hills that surround our neighborhood.

Pretty awesome.

21 Week Bump

Holy Cow! I'm getting big!

Lake Tahoe

Isn't this an amazing view from the deck of the place we stayed at?

We had a lovely time visiting with Tim, Anna, Jackie, Anna's parents, her sister and brother-in-law and some of their friends from college.

Settled a lot of Cataan, played Apples to Apples, drank a lot of Sparkling Apple Cider, made stew, went on a walk in the snow, and got a lot of rest.

Couldn't have asked for a better way to ring in 2010!
