Ultrasound pictures... it's a boy!




We had our ultrasound today and we are having a baby boy!! Here are some of the pictures. He was very lively kicking his legs, moving his arms and hands around, and even flipping around during the ultrasound. Here is also a picture of me we took yesterday. My belly is definitely starting to grow more.

The Wrights came to visit...


In August, we had the privilege of meeting Ella Marie! Kurt, Katie and Ella traveled all the way down to Medford from Ellensberg, WA! It was so much fun to have Kurt and Katie here, and especially to meet their new addition, Ella. She is such a wonderful baby and super cute!

Re-finished wood floors! (More house remodeling!)

Our living room started out with wonderfully dated wood paneling and new carpet. I pulled up the carpet on my days off this summer and we had them refinished. Also, we had 7 recessed lights put in (there wasn't any lighting in the room when we moved in.






Here are the finished floors and they look beautiful! They had to patch a section, by the sliding glass door, in the dining room since we found plywood there when we pulled up the carpet. We have to wait until Wednesday to put furniture in and to let Dallas walk on it. Carl has finished nailing up all the base molding in the dining room and the living room now. It's amazing how much a difference a small detail like molding makes in a room!

Our annual camping trip!

This year we went to Diamond Lake for our annual camping trip, which was so much fun. Although we missed seeing many of the Ardts (since they were in Slovkia), it was so much fun to have the Muellers, all the way from Arizona, camping with us. The kids looked like they had so much fun! Here are some pictures....
