Due date...

Today is the official due date, but no activity. So we thought we should update all of you as to our situation. See above. That said. Megan and I would be happy with any day now, we are pretty much finished with the nesting phase. There is food in the fridge, some preassembled by us for quick/easy meals later. We have multiple brands of diapers on hand to try out to see which ones we like best. (if you want to weigh in please add comment) The nursery is complete, the clothes are washed, I even finished getting that window replaced. The carseat is in place, the extra base is in the Jeep. Have snacks for the hospital, and email and phone lists that if you are not on I must apologize for. Megan has finished scheduling and seeing clients, and Aaron's desk at work is cleaner than the day he started work there. We are both ready to dedicate time to the care of a little one. From the above pictures though, it looks like I should sharpen my photography skills soon...will work on it.

6th Anniversary

Megan and Aaron took a drive to see the colorful fall foliage on their Anniversary. The day was hot and humid and sunny, much unlike our actual wedding day which was cold and crisp. We went to St Croix Falls, and Crex Marsh in Grantsburg, WI. We really had no idea where we would end up. Along the way we stopped at the Franconia Sculpture park. There are many large scale art pieces there. Here is one of them, pictures rarely do art any justice. This trench is about 5-6 feet deep in the middle.

Here is a picture of a trumpeter swan at the Crex Wildlife Refuge. The whole place is about 30,000 acres. The refuge is only a small piece of that. We saw more swans in one spot than Megan and I have seen throughout our memory. We also saw many sandhill cranes, and numerous geese and scores of ducks. This guy let me get pretty close for the picture.

And this pair was just meandering through the day. Just like us.
