Evie Pictures

Steve and I absolutely loved these pictures of Evie so we just had to post them!

Fun with Photos

Alicia insists that I put this picture that Erin made up on the website.

Happy, kind of.

This is also the office where I work. My desk is the clean one off of the right side of the picture.

My First House Project

One of my first projects as a new home owner was to replace the extremely corroded sump pump. I got a new one and added a battery powered system just to be safe. Actually put this together in early January, more than a month before we moved in.

Happy Birthday Evie!

Alrighty, Evie’s 1 month birthday was last Monday (Feb. 28) but she hasn’t given me a chance to get this entry in here. She’s actually quiet for the moment. Here are some pictures from the last week. She’s awake and quiet in most of them, a big accomplishment over the first few weeks. Enjoy!

Our New House

About 2 weeks after she was born, Steve and I moved into our new house that we bought back in Dec. We took some extra time to clean up and paint the rooms that we will be using right away (master bedroom, nursery, kitchen, living room). It looks tons better!

OK, so most of the change you see in the pictures is wall color and moving their stuff out. But there were other little things we did to improve the rooms (electrical outlets updated, blinds replaced, etc.). I’ve also not decorated or totally unpacked yet. But the house is coming along!

Evelyn Celeste

Evie is quiet for the moment so I thought I’d take the opportunity to update this page since it’s been so long and so much has happened. If you haven’t heard already, our first child was born. Evelyn Celeste was born on Jan. 28 at 1:26am. She weighed 10 lbs. 11 oz. and measured 22 1/2 in. long. Doing the math, that makes her currently 3 1/2 weeks old.

Winter Storm ‘04 - Day 2

Still snowing. And last night we had some freezing rain. So now we have several inches of snow, a layer of ice, then more snow. How fun to be driving in it! Except that we won’t be. Our house closing is now postponed until Monday. Arrrrggggg!

More pictures, now from Thursday morning:

As you can see, we’re going to have a fun time just trying to get out the door! Well, this pretty much guarantees that we’ll have a White Christmas since the temperatures are not really getting out of the teens (Friday night should be -10 degrees)!

Winter Storm ‘04 - Day 1

Here we are, Wednesday Dec. 22, 2004. It’s been snowing since we got up. I’ve already cancelled my two bell choirs that are supposed to meet this afternoon. I did all the calling, then found out that the church cancelled everything anyway!! Our class at the hospital has been cancelled too so Steve and I are pretty much home for the day. About 4-5 inches of snow have fallen. Amazingly, the weather people are predicting snow for today!! And tonight!! And tomorrow!! We’re supposed to get 6-10 inches today, 8-12 inches tonight and 2-4 inches tomorrow. Our house closing is supposed to be tomorrow. Any bets on whether that will actually happen?

Here is a picture of my poor car:

Hopefully we’ll be able to unbury it tomorrow!
