Nothing new

Well it has been awhile since our last blog. We are now 10 weeks and two days along. We have our next appointment in two weeks. Nothing really going on, I had a bug this last weekend that we are passing around the family. Kris has been helping our aunt and uncle put up a playground for thier grandkids. I am just really tired, all the time. I am looking forward to some more energy in the second trimester. Work has been ok, a little stressful at times. We are going to take a trip in about three weekends to Branson, Sue is moving back and we are picking up the pop up camper. The weekend after that we are going to Michigan because Kris is playing in a paintball tournament with his team. He is majorly excited about it. I think they will do really good.

Baby's first picture

Here is our first ultrasound. We are 8 weeks and 4 days. The baby is about the size of a grape. We got to hear it's heartbeat, 169 beats per minute. Everything looked great and the baby even flipped around during the ultrasound. The arrows on the picture indicate the arms and the legs.

The Explorer

Here is our new car! It is a 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition. We just picked it up.

My family

I took this picture off our friends Jim and Kristie's blog, thanks guys. I just thought it was such a great picture that I had to share it. When you get married it is such a new wonderful experience. I am grateful that I married into a family that I like. I know that sounds crazy but I have met so many people that don't like thier in-laws. Kris' family is alot smaller than mine which at holidays is kind of wierd but then again you get to talk to everyone. One thing that I had to realize when we got married was that Kris and I were a family. When I thought of family I thought of my grandparents, my aunts, uncles, cousins. Kris keep trying to get me to understand that we don't have to spend every holiday with family because we are a family. I finally got the concept but being from such a close nit family that is so big and getting bigger it was a hard concept. Any way I love my family but wish they were all within an hour of me.

A new car

We are looking for a new car. We found a 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition with 6 CD in dash, memory seating, leather/suede seats, sparkly cherry color, and third row seating(which is a must for us). We are going to the dealer tonight and see what we can work out. Kris works with a guy that retired from Ford and is giving us his discount, which is cool. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

One more

I forgot this picture. It was the day after the wedding. Everyone went to Allen and Chanda's house for a picnic and to watch them open gifts. Cameron, Christian and Rufus were trying to help.
