Cake Decorating!

I've always enjoyed decorating cakes and took the first Wilton class a few years ago. I finally decided to finish the remaining courses and just finished the second course (there are 4 courses). Here is my final exam cake. It was really fun!

Technology is Amazing!

Well, the word is out and its true. We are expecting another baby on June 3, 2009. Amelia is still pretty clueless and looks at us like WE are clueless when we try and describe to her that there is a baby inside Mamma. Nonetheless, we are very excited for the new arrival. Here are some 3D ultrasound pictures we had taken today.

The kid was moving around like crazy and it was entertaining to watch the frustrated lab tech get the measurements she needed. A rebel even in the womb. Perfect.





The head is on the upper right and that baby's hands are propped up behind the head. Kickin' back. Nice.

The Incredibles.

We LOVE Halloween. It is such a fun time to dress up, chat with neighbors and the guilt-free chow down on processed sugar!

Here's our costumes. (I think they rock!)


Dash (a.k.a. Amelia)





















Mr. Incredible (a.k.a. Nick) and Dash
















And, last but not least, Elastagirl (a.k.a Rachel)
























Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins for FHE. Here's the process and the final result!!


Our finished products!

Nick's finished monster.

Natural History Museum

On a rainy day we decided to visit the Natural History Museum. It is such a fun place for all ages. Amelia loved it.



Here's her new BFF.


The world is such an amazing place!

Annual Virginia Beach Trip

Every year for Nick's birthday we go camping in Virginia Beach. It is SO FUN. It is off season and still really nice. This year Nick's sister Sami was visiting so she came along. Friday and Saturday were kinda stormy but we were able to see an air show (with the Blue Angels!) and hang out. On Sunday, we went to the beach. We all had a great time.
