Wow! It's a little different when it's YOU!


Just wanted to share the picture of the day last October when we discovered The Bean was real. I can't say we didn't suspect it before. But, despite D's education and my intuition, we hadn't really accepted it as true. I guess that explains the deer in the headlights looks on these faces.
Dennis had been back from Kuwait less than 3 weeks, and we had taken off to Italy for a wonderful, relaxing trip -- a week at a villa in Tuscany followed by hiking in the Cinque Terre. Sleeping late, eating and drinking well, enjoying peaceful time together. Was that lifestyle destined to be just a memory now?! Were we happy-- but nervous.
It's been almost 9 months, though, so we're much more comfortable with the idea of parenthood (right!). Stay tuned to see the glassy, wide-eyed photos of two new parents.

The Bean is almost here. In this case, I do believe we are ready. After nine years of marriage we are excited about the liitle guy. I think we are finally done "practicing." When I say we are "ready" I can back up that statement by the fact that the...
1. Nursery is painted, molding in place
2. crib put together
3. the baby closet is FULL of clothes
4. car seat is in place in the back seat
5. jars of baby food are in the cupboard
6. my partner who is delivering the baby WITH Kristina has stopped drinking bourbon
7. diapers are everywhere (I know...just wait)
