Moving

We will be moving next tuesday or wednesday, just as soon as we get the apartment cleaned out and ready to go! We are very excited to be getting out of Denton, grateful for my parents hospitality but a little hesitant about Houston itself. Though planing a very intense Houston area job search we are also going to keep our eyes open for a more desireable location. Anyone with any science lab contacts in Colorado spring let us know!!! We would love to go back to where we met, to a state with four seasons! For now we are looking forward to getting our feet planted in Houston. This monday we went down and started getting our stuff settled. My parents very graciously cleared out their office for Aydens room. They had it painted a pretty blue color and Ayden's superman stuff matches perfectly. I am going to teach Ayden this fall so he can keep up with what he would be learning if we were to stay at Springbok. I most likely would have been teaching his age group this fall at Springbok so I'm excited to use the ideas I had then for him now. We have set up a little classroom space in his room and I have been pulling curriculum and lesson plans together. I am very excited and just hope Ayden will be excited about doing school with mommy as well! He is in colorado this week going camping for the first time. He called me today and told me he was making a present for Balin. What a sweet big brother. Next post we will be back in Houston! Here's to hopeing the Uhaul doesnt break down!

The wait is over!

Balin has arrived! He was born July 10th, 2007 at 1:44 pm. He weighed 7 lbs. 13.6 oz and was about 20 inches long. We are having so much fun with him! The delivery went went very well and other than some jaundice he was very healthy! The poor guy has been through a lot this week though because he was circumcised on Wednesday and late Thursday night we discovered that he has an ear infection! Poor baby. Everything is going really well though except for a lack of internet! We will be posting much more whent hat happens!

Waiting

Last night we went to the Denton Fireworks show put on by the local Kiwanis group. It's actually very well done and allways lots of fun. They do it at the UNT football stadium so we sit on about the 50 yard line (astro turf) and enjoy. I had forgotten that all along we've been telling Ayden that the baby was going to be here "after the fireworks" so of course he couldn't understnd why there was no baby when we got up this morning. oops. Soon, at least we can all hope. We did have maternity pictures taken last week at a park. They were lots of fun to get done and the photographer is very nice. We are looking forward to getting back the pictures any day now! My belly measured 40 cms at my appointment this week. Thats big for those of you unfamiliar with preggo bellies. Very big. And I'm not done. eeek. we are now hopefully less than one week away from meeting Balin Conrad and though we are all very excited we are also getting tired of waiting. The anticipation starts to wear you down after a while. We are in major need of holding this baby.
