We are stuck on boy names.

I am feeling pretty much moved into the house and ready for the baby to not be camped out in me anymore! I think he knows that we don't have his name picked out, so he is giving us some time to make sure we know what we are going to call him.

We have had a list of maybe names for a while now and just can't decide on one.

Our list:

Finnley (Finn)

Keller

Harrison (this is Lucy's favorite, but she would call him harry)

Owen

Marshall

Wilson

William

Quincey (Quinn)

Liam

Any suggestions? I know my mom doesn't like Finn. When I told her we were thinking Finn or Keller her response was, "Oh, I like Keller."

I still think of names I like, like Oliver, James, Claude... nothing seems just perfect.

Maybe I will have to see his face to know.

The countdown begins.

I had another ultra-sound yesterday and the tech said the baby is already six pounds! I have heard that babies grow about a pound a week for the last month. That means that if I go all the way to my due date he will be 10 pounds.

AHHH!

It wouldn't be completly odd for me to have a 10 pounder since I was 9lbs 3ozs and my little brother was 10lbs 5ozs. Let's hope not! I will die!

Too Busy for words... pictures will have to do.

I'm getting too big and pregnant (it's a Boy) to deal with toddler dental floss disasters... seems like when Dad is in charge, there are many "quiet messes". The best one yet involved a big container of bread crumbs. Or in Lucy's words... "dirt"

The volcano has been erupting A LOT. If we can't get out of here on our flight to Hawaii I will be MUCHO ANGRIDO!!

Alaska celebrated it's 50th b-day.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! Celebration on the town square.

We bought a house! We will move in the middle of May! YIPPIE

Numero Dos On The Way

We are expecting a little monster in July and we couldn't be more excited.

Lucy has been asking for a brother or sister (depending on the day) for a few months now.

When I asked her if she thought the baby was a boy or a girl, she said she thought I had a snake in my tummy. I thought about telling her that actually, the snake put the baby in my tummy... I'll wait a few more years to break that news to her.

Merry Christmas!

Happy Halloween

I promised I would post pictures of my little chicken...

We had so much fun, and Lucy was super motivated to walk all around the hospital parade when she realized there was candy being handed out around every corner.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Alaska is treating us well!

This is a picture of Bradford and our dinner for about 10 nights! We love the fresh salmon for eating and Bradford has found a new favorite hobby! I have a great recipie for salmon cakes, and salmon casidillas! MMMM.

We went to the State Fair in Palmer. It was a nice day to see all the animals, eat fried cheese curds, ride rides and people watch. I thought the people watching was good in West Virginia, I had no idea! All thoes hockey moms and Joe six-packs... hey Sara!



I must be getting old. I always remember thinking that adults were so cheesy when they would talk about how fast time goes, but here I am saying that phrase... a lot! It is amazing when I realize that we are almost through October and approaching the holidays. I just got my big Aveda shipment of all out holiday packages to sell as gifts. They are very beautiful this year with yellow, red and black hand stamped paper boxes from Nepal. We will be putting up our display November 2nd, along with the salon tree and holiday decorations.
I am excited for Ozarks open house this coming Saturday! Ozarks is a great antique store here in Anchorage that always has beautiful little treasures. It is dangerous for me to go there because I can always find something I "need".

Lucy has her mind made up that she wants to be a chicken for Halloween. She says, "My be a chicken for Halween, please!"
She has the funniest phrases lately. Her new favorite toy is a lizard that she calls a wizard. It is a little red lizard that she got at her friend's birthday party as a little favor five weeks ago. It is now missing all of it's legs and soon, I fear, will loose it's tail too. Luckilly I think those grow back.

We went to Ronnie's Sushi a few weeks ago and she was amazed at who was sitting next to us. She looked up at a man with long hair and a beard who was walking in and with big eyes looked at me and said, "Jesus!"

She has been telling me that she wants a little brother. Wonder who prompted that? ...Bradford?

When she tries to get Bradford's attention she doesn't yell daddy, she yells, "BRA-FERD!"

I promise to post pictures of my little chicken.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, bock, bock style!

Trip to Fairbanks...
