Booze Hound Sports Fans!?

This past weekend we had the baby shower in Minneapolis hosted by my fabulous sister-in-law at her house. (Okay, my brother lives there too!) It was so much fun. The food was as great as the company. I had a lot of good friends from work come as well as some friends we've made over the years of living here!

We started off with some food and chatting. Then, we played some games. The first game we had to guess what food was in the unlabeled food jars. Of all people, I got the most correct. I even beat out some of the gals who are mom's!! Then, we played a game similar to Balderdash for all you board gamers out there. The rule of the game was to guess what events lead up the the night of baby making. The person with the most votes won a prize and the person(s) who guessed the actual events that lead up to baby making also won a prize! None the less, most of the stories consisted of some type of sports game and alcohol (WI roots), whether on TV or at the actual game. So, interesting that everyone thinks that we are alcoholic sports junkies!! The crazy thing of it all is the person who actually got the most votes. That would be my 4 year old niece!! Melissa (my sister-in-law) asked her what she thought Auntie and Uncle like to do. In her mind, we did the dishes, played with Duncan and went to bed to sleep.

After some red cheeks and lots of laughs, we opened some gifts. We got a lot of great things from books and toys to clothes and butt paste for those diaper rashes! One of my good friends made a diaper tree. Check it out!

We thank everyone who came out and brought some wonderful gifts for the baby. We are very blessed to have such great friends and family!! I go this Friday again for my 36 week check up. I will keep you all posted on anything new. It could be any day now!!

Love,
The Delveaux's

Home for the Weekend

Long overdue post, apologies...

We went home last weekend for the Baby Delveaux shower. We are so blessed to have an amazing support system of friends and family. First, a huge thank you to our mothers for hosting and getting everything together - you both were terrific. Second, it was phenomenal to see everyone there.

Being a boy, I ran off with the other boy (Jack) to have lunch and a beer at Titletown - soooo good! Good food, great beer, terrific company. Coming home I was a bit overwhelmed to see everyone. Neighbors, friends, friends of the family and family - what a great turnout. I shared then how fortunate we are to have such great support - it was cool! I saw my Aunt Karen and her family who I haven't seen since Uncle Cliff passed away in summer. I think about them often and they are such a strong family, it was great to see them all doing well. Our prayers continue for their strength and comfort.

Melissa showed me all the fun gadgets, what they did as well as how to use. I am still learning. I didn't need any teaching about the toys! Only to share :( Again, thank you all of coming and all the love and support. Baby Delveaux is coming into a great family.

I also had the privilege of going to Lambeau field again! Mom and I went to see the Packers take care of the Vikes. This was big for my football ego as I have been bragging my team up around the office. If we lost, I may as well have turned in my badge. Below are a few pictures of the game... dynamite! Tailgating (only like this in GB), Aaron Rodgers before his TD, final score (ahem, who won?) and Rodgers happily jogging off after victory!

Thanks to everyone for making our GB shower so amazing.

Much love,

- Adam, Melissa, Duncan and Baby Delveaux

Big weekend!

A lot can happen in a 3 day weekend.  We finished some minor touches in the babies room.  Adam put a dimmer switch in the room and go a little shock.  He forgot to turn the power off again before trying to put the switch back in the wall.  Oops!  

We cleaned a lot upstairs and moved some things around.  We patched up the air mattress only to discover that there was another tiny hole very close to the first one we fixed:(  So now we have to fix that one.  Hopefully that will be it!

We went to Kevin and Melissa's on Sunday for a bit and hung out with the kids.  I had to teach my dork of a brother how to use his iPod with iTunes!  He was like a little kid once we got songs on it.  They are all doing very good!

On Monday, we went to the fair.  Holy food!  We had corn dogs, pronto pups (which are just like a corn dog with flour breading instead of cornmeal breading... and still just as greasy and good), cheese curds, Sweet Martha's Cookies...yum (little warm chocolate cookies with ice cold milk), wine ice cream and apple cider freezies.  I think that was it and trust me, that was nothing compared to what we could have had.  They have everything from pickle juice popsicles to gator on a stick.  Yes, they have almost 40 foods on a stick.  Deep fried candy bars and home made rootbeer.  If you can think of it, they have it.  Talk about gut rot!  It was fun though!

The biggest news of all...we sold the truck.  We knew we had to adjust with a growing family.  So, we are going to buy Adam's mom's car from her.  (with the stipulation that she fixes the motor in the driver window!!!hehehe)  It only seems to work when it wants to!!  Just kidding, we will love it!  

We go home to GB this weekend for the baby shower!  We are looking forward to a longer weekend so that we can spend a little time with family and friends.  We will fill you in after with some pictures.
