Baby bump update...

Here's an updated "baby bump" photo: I feel like I've "popped" a bit more in the last few weeks, and am finally starting to actually look pregnant! Still feeling great, and feeling baby move around lots, which is so exciting! We are also starting to collect lots of "hand-me-downs": so great that everyone has been so generous!

New house and new baby for Jenn and Tom Gordon!

Our friends Jenn and Tom Gordon have added a new member to their family: Maggie Ann Gordon. They are also in the process of building their dream home at a site in Bragg Creek (about 1/2 an hour outside of Calgary). We made a visit yesterday to meet Maggie, and to check out the building site.

Getting some practice... :)

Phoenix "Girls Trip"

Karen, Andrea, Shandra and I planned a "Girls Trip" to Arizona: given that Karen and Andrea live in Ontario, and Shandra and I are in Calgary, we thought it might be worthwhile to meet up somewhere for an extended weekend so that we could enjoy some much-needed girl time and catching up. We spent 3 days shopping, "spa"ing, and chatting at a beautiful resort near Scottsdale (the Intercontinental Montelucia: www.icmontelucia.com ). "Summer toes"

Baby Bump!

By popular demand, here are a few pictures of the "baby bump"...Yes: in case you haven't heard the news, it's been a long time coming, but "well worth the wait"! We are expecting a baby boy in the end of March (due date is about March 26th), and couldn't be happier! We've had several ultrasounds to date, and all is looking good. I've been feeling well, and trying to get lots of rest.

This weekend I'm off to Phoenix, Arizona with a few girlfriends for some "R&R".

Chicago: Marc Binkley's Stag/Boys Weekend

Dave went to Chicago October 30th--November 2nd with a group of guys for Marc Binkley's Stag. Friday night was a Blackhawks game (followed by a night of debauchery), Saturday night was Hallowe'en (although none of the boys wore costumes), and Sunday was a Bears game (Binkley wore a costume). Dave says that Chicago is a nice city with cool architecture: lots of public spaces, parks and art, as well as great Deep Dish Pizza and Blues Bars!
