Okay, I suppose that we have just a touch more catch up to do, but because I am feeling lazy and non-descriptive, I am going to put the "important" (a relative term) events in the form of a list.1. We had yet another full-out baby buying splurge. This time we ended up purchasing a front pack baby carrier (not the one pictured), socks, organic receiving blankets, summer hats, penguin overalls, a fleece bag, and a blue tie-dye onesie. Everything was on sale except the front pack, which we got anyway because it fell into the category of Things That Casey Has To Have Right Now. I also got a knitting guide so that I can make cute, fuzzy things for the baby (or at least that is the plan.... I have never actually finished a knitting project)
2. We heard on the news that the Goodwill took Mardi Gras beads for use the following year, so we jumped at the chance to get rid of our mountain of glitter.
3. We drove through Mississippi, stopping only to get a sticker for the van and take a picture of the welcome sign. This may be cheating, yes, but you really can't see them all and I was still feeling awful.
4. We got to Alabama, spent one night in a Walmart parking lot and drove the next morning to a house that my dad and stepmother had rented for a week in order to visit my step brother Josh. There will be much more about our time here in the next blog.
And on to other news:
-I have officially gained twelve pounds since leaving Portland. I think that I might be over-achieving on the whole weight-gain thing, because none of my shirts fit me anymore and it looks (and feels) like I am smuggling a bowling ball. And I am, without a doubt, waddling.
-We started a new book called Be Prepared- A practical handbook for new dads, which was a Christmas present from our beloved Steven and Lacey. It is hysterical. I have included some of our favorite pictures from the beginning chapters.
-And lastly, after longer than I am choosing to disclose, we have both finally showered. Casey celebrated by buying a fancy new shirt and going out to play golf with my dad. I celebrated by showering again.
Also, I would like to thank all of you for your awesome comments. Sitting down to read them has become one of our favorite parts of the day. And it is so great to know how many people are checking up on us.
We love you and miss you all.
