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.  

Week 31 Update

In about 8 weeks, we will be mommy and daddy to a newborn. Wow. So cool! As a father to be, I've got to say that the constant excitement that I have had since we found out has begun to ramp up... I didn't think that was possible.

More than once I have found myself walking by the baby's room and I'll stop in to imagine what it will be like to see our little bundle of joy sleeping. Or crying. Or cooing. A lot of emotion, all good, fills my heart. I've been dreaming about this for years.

Now I can spend some more time in baby's room! It's primed and ready for our little one. The walls are a little bare (until we can decorate with gender specific decor), but we just put the finishing touches on. The rocking chair now has a home, although I liked it in the cluttered downstairs - just not practical. Pictures are below, enjoy!
Melissa looks phenomenal. I am not sure how she does it, but she makes it look easy and keeps a smile on her face. That's signature Melissa. On tap for the week: State Fair (everything on a stick), baby class, doctor appointment (Friday) and starting to pack that "hospital bag".

All our love,

- Adam, Melissa, Duncan and Baby

What I did this weekend, oops we're late addition

Okay, so this would be what we did last weekend the 15th.
We went home to GB for 2 weddings and to look for a car. The first wedding was on Friday night. Our friend from high school that we graduated with got married on Friday night. We had tons of fun and discovered that Adam and the groom, Chris, have the same exact wedding bands. Kind of funny:)
On Saturday we got up and went to the Toyota dealer and looked at a couple of cars. We drove the old Saturn home and we knew it was time to get a better family car. We test drove a Corolla and a Camry. We settled on the Camry due to the size and knowing that we would have to have this car for a while and grow into it with another child in the future. (Chill out Grandma's, there is only one in the oven for now!) We went back and forth a little. We have been so used to not having car payment, that the thought wasn't the most appealing of having one. However, we did get a brand new 2009 Blue Camry. I LOVE IT!!! It is a great car!!


After the car trip, we went to my cousin Evan's wedding. Ate a little food and talked with some family and old neighbors that I haven't seen in a while. That was fun. Then we headed home and went to bed. Got back to MPLS on Sunday afternoon and then back to the week. Then, we made some more adjustments to the babies room..... Adam will fill you in!!!
