Pictures

Our cousin Doug took several pictures of us last week. We went to Palos Hills, just outside of Chicago and were treated to a wonderful fall scene. The leaves were changing and we had a great time. Afterwards, Doug and I did some "Mountain" biking. We had a blast!
It was really nice to get out of the city for several hours. We hope you enjoy these pictures and keep checking back. We have so many more that we will continue to add. I can't believe we only have 6 weeks to go!

Week 32!!! OMG

No, this is not a cross section of Katy, but it is a picture of what is going on these days.

I know...I know....

So, we have been very slow about updating our blog as of late. We have had so much happen in the last 3 months....I completed my first triathlon...and you couldn't imagine the feelings I had as my beautiful wife cheered me on. Her shirt created quite a stir among the other cheering fans.

The votes are in!

Well, it was an amazing race and the votes are final. We had a vote total of 11 to 10 in favor of a girl. Well, I don't know who made the final vote to push the girls over the edge, but they must of known something, because I'd like to announce that we are expecting a beautiful little princess....a little bambina...a future heartbreaker...a sweetie pie! I can't believe it! The technician checked 3 times and there was nothing but empty space there. It must be true, I have a daughter on the way. And I can already tell that she is going to have my wrapped around her little fingers in no time. We should have some ultrasound pictures posted in the next couple days. MK

We can't wait!

Today is Sunday and we can't wait for Wednesday to roll around. We have our appointment to see what we will be having. So, today we went and blew off some steam at the lake. What a beautiful day it was. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. We took Laila with us and she had a blast fetching with her two legged mommy. MK

I can't wait!

So, I missed my last appointment with Katy...I know, I know. BAD MARK! But, I had to be judicious with my time off from work, especially with what's coming up next Wednesday. That's right! The wait will be over and all the voters will know if they were correct. Katy and I have our final ultrasound scheduled for July 16 and we will hopefully find out if our little bundle of joy will be a little bambino or a little bambina. I can't wait to see. At first I was thinking of wanting that ultimate surprise come December, but common sense prevailed. Now we will be able to begin designing our nursery and buying those little blue outfits....or pink ones, we see in the store when we go. Wish us luck and come back to see if you were correct. MK
