Without wires, just irritated skin from the tape... that's all gone today :) And she has a natural mohawk. Too cute :)

No Baby

Our baby is not 1 day old. We can just related the "age" of our baby to how overdue it is. We've been very active the past couple of days though trying to get this thing out, including 2 hikes in San Tan Regional Park (one to see the miner's graves and the other last night was a scorpion hunt with black lights), walking Addie a lot, a swim party (yes, I wore a bathing suit... the water felt amazing) and helping out at a clinic for my mom.

Here is Toronto giving some love to the baby.



Scott went back to Truman State last month for a Phi Lambda Phi reunion, and received some photos yesterday from the fun filled weekend. He and his good friend Ed schooled everyone in beer pong. I'm so proud. Here he is talking strategy with a much younger Phi Lamb brother -

Ed making a horrible shot.

Ed trying again.

Scott is pleased with his shot.


Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend, and hopefully we will have some news to report soon!

Peach Festival

We headed to Schnepf Farms bright and early this morning to pick our own peaches from their organic peach orchard. 30 pounds of peaches later, we have spent the afternoon making pies and cobbler.

Single Digits

Single digits now... or not. I think my body wants to hold onto this baby for the long haul. We have guesses on when Baby Mac is going to arrive... and the first guess is today, from Ryan H. Sorry bud, I think you're date is going to come and go with no adventure. Here are some other guesses. If you want to put your two cents in, then please comment and I will add you to the list :)
