Getting closer!
Today is week 32 exactly and we are getting closer for our baby to arrive!
The Crib should arrive Monday and the baby room is almost ready to be decorated. Edmond has been working hard to get the window seat done.
Next to all of this we had some snow, some hot weather and poured a concrete slab for our hot tub in the backyard.
Here are some pictures.
Lilla and Kayla taking a nap next to the fireplace.
Baby in the belly!
Every week is different but it has been a pretty mild winter. One day it's hot and the other is snows.
Concrete slab Edmond poured where the hot tub is going to sit.
Last but not least the baby room in progress. The window storage seat is almost done.
Some catching up....
We have some catching up on things that we have done the last couple weeks starting with Thanksgiving on November 27th. Since we don't have any family here and we have neighbors sharing the same thing we decided to have thanksgiving together. Dinner with a 19 pound turkey, sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes and veggies. Not to forget cherry and dutch apple pie as desert! I finished with a long workout that evening to work off the calories ;-)
That weekend we also setup all the Christmas lights cause as soon as thanksgiving is over you turn on the lights. I made some pictures but it's a bit difficult to see.
Then last weekend we went to Idaho visiting Dawn's parents for a late Thanksgiving dinner and early Christmas presents exchange. Since flights are too expensive around Christmas we decided to go this early. Dawn spend her Saturday receiving presents on her baby shower and I went skeet shooting with the guys. We brought 175 shells which we thought would be enough but we ran out in like 30 minutes! Oh, and of course I got sick again which seems to be my curse when I go to Idaho! It lasted like 8 days this time and now I know why. Not drinking enough water. The doc told me to down 3 liters of Gatorade energy drinks cause they have electrolytes. Still can't believe it but this fixed me up right away!! Go Gatorade!
Alright.. Below are some pictures again and we will keep you guys posted on the baby.
Dawn is now 24 weeks along and only 16 more to go ;-)
Flying by Mount Rainier on our way to Seattle... Yes, we had to take the long route back to Colorado.
Turkey!!
and desert.

Snow in the backyard.
Here is a short video of our neighbor using my snowblower this evening. It was around 2 Farenheit (-16 Celsius) today. Brrrrrrrr
It has been a while!
Here we are again! It's been like 3 months since we have written anything in our blog and it's been pretty busy. I will have to take some more pictures of the house and it's not fully furnished yet. We are slowly coming along left and right but we predicted that it will be a while before we have furniture all over the house.
One of the main things that is coming up now is the back yard. Since we live in a community you have to live by certain rules which one of them is maintaining your house and front and backyard.
We also went snowboaring like crazy since Ed recovered pretty well within 2 months after his surgery. He still has to work out his left arm cause it's still alot weaker and this will just take time (little nerve damage).
Last monday we bought our new monster. The Acura TL 3.2 with almost 300HP (PK). The old clunker broke down and we were already looking around for a new car and this pushed us a bit more. We looked at the Lexus, Acura and Infiniti. Infiniti is the luxery brand of Nissan, Lexus is this of Toyota and Acura is from Honda. So it's like buying a reliable car on steroids! We testdrove some cars and we just loved the Acura. It's fast, has the navigation and a ton of options. Everything is voice control and it's just a fun toy.
I will post some pictures below. I don't have pictures of the interior but I will use some from the dealer website.
We will write sooner then 3 months from now on!
This was when we were still in the appartment this winter. Just a little bit of snow. Nothing uncommon in Denver.
Kayla and Lilla having fun in the snow!
Keystone Snowboarding.
You can see another ski resort in the back. Plenty of them over here.
See how Dawn blends in with the snow and the trees. ;-)
Made a short video of Dawn boarding slowly down the hill in Keystone.
Compared to the highlander the Acura is still descent size.
