1 year, 1 month, and 1 day later we celebrated our anniversary by having the top layer of wedding cake. I must say that for cake that had been in the freezer for a year, flown in a suitcase and delievered to Texas it wasn't half bad... and 1 year, 1 month and 1 day later I just might be over the fact that it wasn't cut and served at the wedding as we wanted it to be! :o)

Class of 2029
Apparently Aunt Lindsay and Aunt Rory were (rightfully) offended that I got dolled up in Georgia Tech stuff before I supported good ole Elon. I just wanted to prove that I do in fact have Elon clothes but they will just have to wait until I'm a little bit bigger...Sunday, June 24, 2007
First week at home
Almost one week since my water broke.... WOW so many changes. We are doing well, a bit flustered with all that has changed, sleep deprived and completely blessed all at the same time. Here are some update pictures of Grant settling in at home....

Nothing new...
I've heard over the past few days just how many of you there are checking this site to see if there are any baby updates... and for you all, all I can say is "nothing new to report!" I'm one week from the due date and except for the baby having "dropped" there isn't any progress. Geoff and I had fun looking up all of the old wives tales so we've eaten eggplant parmigian and spicy chinese, I've been eating pineapple and going for walks, even tried scrubbing the kitchen floor (though I'm sure that suggestion was just some husband's cruel way of getting his wife to clean when she was 10 months pregnant). We learned pressure points on the ankles and hands... and still no squiget~ guess this is one of those God things used to test our patience... and we officially have NONE!
Geoff left for the field today for the next 2-3 weeks so it'll be interesting to see what events really happen on D-Day (delivery). He's getting stormed on right now so I know he is eager for something to happen, 1) to get out of the field and rain and muck and 2) for 9 months of waiting to finally be over!

Our first house guest
Last week we were blessed to have our first house guest in the form of Margurette (direct from the Netherlands/Australia) visit us in Texas. We had a blast, tons of laughs, lots of catch up time and quite a few belly rubs. Geoff grilled for us, we explored Salado, we shopped and discovered gold... over all, we had a blast! Although she used all of her wishing and hoping to get Squiget to come before she headed back over the pond we had no such luck... Heres a favorite picture from Salado (please ignore the massive amounts of chins)Friday, June 01, 2007
Dear Squig, Love Roars
...quite possibly the funniest e-mail I've ever received...
Dear Squidget,
Recent reports are telling me that Mommy wants you to vacate the premises. (I think you missed a month of rent or something!) I hope you don't take this the wrong way... she's enjoyed being the vessel that carried you from embryo to fully developed human, but that part of the journey has to come to an end sometime soon!
Personally, I want you to get out of there b/c I'm lonely here in DC... and you're my best hope of getting a new friend to play with! So, please, wriggle on outta there... show your beautiful face (and gender... and name!)... and atleast get a few photos online so we can see you!!
Love, Aunt Rory
P.S. When you're coming out, please just wiggle and slide out... no kicking, no resisting... just go with it (believe me, it's worth it)... Mommy's body is a temple and you've been living in it for a few months now... so let's try to leave it in as good condition as it was when you got there! :)
