Megan's Baby Shower

My sister Megan enjoyed her baby shower last weekend- and was sprinkled with gifts!

Duluth!

Brett and I went up to Duluth just before Thanksgiving to hang out with college friends, Shawn and Elicia. They are due 3 days before us (smart people think alike :) We had a pretty action packed weekend which included UMD hockey and volleyball games, walking/hiking with the dogs, going out to eat and watching the Vikings game. The dogs enjoyed each others company, and were quite tired by the end of the weekend!

California Work Conference

I went to Newport Beach California a couple of weeks ago to present a poster at a National Family Medicine Conference. Unfortunately, I didn't get to spend too much time seeing the ocean!

Thanksgiving!

Our family got together for a wonderful meals, and lots of talking. My sister, Megan is 33 weeks in this pic- I am ten behind at 23. We are both having girls in 2008!

More House Pics

This a picture that was taken earlier this fall, when my grandmothers were visiting the house for the first time (and we had most of the stuff unpacked).

Happy Halloween

Brett and I went to friends Halloween party this past weekend. Fred and Daphne (from Scooby Doo) had a pretty good time!

Apple Orchard

Brett and I went with Heidi and Josh to one of the local apple orchards- continuing a tradition started last year.

Amie comes to Rochester!

Atlanta!

I was able to visit my girlfriend Andrea in Atlanta last weekend. She is 37 weeks (about 20 ahead of me).

Our puppy Bailey

We adopted Bailey last fall from a local humane society. The vets thinks she is part husky and part chocolate lab. We think she is just 55lbs of cuteness! She is (finally) adjusting to our new home and is excited she can look out all the windows at neighboring dogs, birds, rabits and whatever else moves.

Our House

We moved into our new house this past July. It is a nice rambler with three bedrooms. We are hoping to finish off a family room and fourth bedroom this fall/early winter. Bailey, Brett and I are mostly unpacked and settled, and excited to call this new house "home".
