baby shower

so here's a picture of Erin and Kate- they hosted a baby shower this weekend, along with the evidence of how kind everyone has been to us. We were blessed that lots of family and friends showed up, including Janell from Portland (sorry Jani, we don't have any pictures of the family on our camera). We feel a lot more prepared now that we have more of what we need, and are very grateful for everyone's generosity.

comparison shots

Just for a comparison of how that little kid has grown, compare this to the very bottom shot (on this page) of Dani at Dad's office- the first one was not quite two months ago... He's getting ready to come (two more weeks or so).

Gabe

Easter brought a surprise to Dani. She is now the proud (but temporary) owner of a cute little bunny. She named him Gabriel (but still mostly calls him Bunny). He's pretty curious but very well-behaved. It was a crack-up to watch her open the box with him in it. He is now a happy camper in a laundry basket in our no-pets-allowed apartment (only temporarily...)

Michigan Here We Come

It's official. Three new Spartans will be making the trek to Michigan State University sometime in August. We're excited to know where we'll be for the next five years. It should be an adventure.
