Baby Pictures!

So far I've had two doctors appointments, and have been lucky enough to have ultrasounds at both of them.
Here are our baby's first pictures!

This was at just about 6 weeks, there are three dots in the gestational sac.  The dot on the top, with the arrow, is the baby.  We could even see a little heartbeat flickering!

This was at 7 weeks, 5 days.  The part in the circle is the baby!  It even kinda looks like a baby, if you squint...

Of course no post is complete without a picture of the big sister...

The Bean was all snuggled up watching TV, she wasn't feeling well, so momma was pitying her.

Regan Has A Big Announcement

"I'm going to be a big sister!"

Here we go again!  Baby Kerl #2 is slated to make his/her appearance at the end of May!

Fall, Fun and Friends

Two weeks ago we went on a little weekend getaway to the Catskill Mountains.  We were invited by our friends Cheri and Mark, and their daughter Cassandra.

The house that we stayed in was in "Elka Park Club", which sports gorgeous turn of the century mansions; built on a the side of the mountain, with picturesque views.  The house we were in was a relatively new build, but the owner was also renovating an original building down the road.

Here's a view of the back/side yard, with the large flagstone patio

We had so much fun with Cheri, Mark and Cassandra, and all their friends and family.  Hopefully we get to continue the tradition of getting together!
