What a great break!

We both enjoyed an extended break from work this week. Melissa had a few days off towards the middle of last week and we both had off on the 4th. Here's what we did!

On the 3rd we went to the outdoor movie theatre in Woodbury, what a blast. Joe, Lisa and Max joined us to watch Hancock and the Incredible Hulk! It was 2:30 when the 3rd movie was about to start. I had already snoozed through some of the Hulk...

We had co-workers over on the 4th for a cookout and our neighbor Zack taught us his knowledge of rum, not to mention his pilot stories. It was a mellow night and we got to see fireworks from afar... certainly better than dealing with traffic!

We may have slept in a little on Saturday, but then we went over to see the Dessart clan and Ciara. We watched another Twins victory before coming home. Melissa can now "belly up" to the table and we can see the baby kick through her shirt. How sweet is that!

Today we went shopping after church and watched the Twins game. Ethan was a mini-mascot at the stadium! We didn't see him on TV, but I am sure it was a blast - he was thrilled when we talked about it on Saturday. The entire family was decked out in Twins gear. We setup the ottoman and rocker :) and we are nearly set with the babies room! I went out for a nice run just after the storm swept through.

Here's a quick update on what's going on in our land:
  • I started in a new area as a MP manager - Food Avenue and Starbucks. You know, the cafe area. Check it out!
  • Melissa started a honey-do list. It's awesome and achievable, but I've never had one before.
  • I was re-baptized a few weeks ago at our church. God has challenged me is awesome ways.
  • Melissa is gloating the the boys won out in our baby poll. However, she did have a random dream that she had a girl! Go ahead, ask her about that one.
  • I have started running again and will be going after the Gopher to Badger half marathon in a few weeks. It sounds like we might have a nice crew from church running. That'd be cool!
  • Melissa is sleeping and so should I. She will not be running the race :) She'll be an awesome cheerleader as she was last year in the heat!
Things are great here. We love you and miss you all.
- Adam, Melissa, Baby and Duncan (finally sleeping)

It's so fun to read about you guys and see how Melissa's belly is growing. Personally, I fully support the "not knowing the sex of the baby!" Alex doesn't agree (you guys spurred that discussion), because if we would (eventually!) have a boy, he'd have a lot of Superman stuff to buy in a shorter amount of time :o) Anyway, take care and keep in touch! -Jocelyne
