this is my favorite part

oh, coldy!

if you are too pregnant to put on your own ice skates, you're too pregnant to ice skate. but you can probably walk carefully on the ice in your shoes. i believe Ash liked riding with Dad better (think of It's a Small World verses Space Mountain).


pretty cool icicles.

five weeks and counting

the necessary preparations are being made. yep, this is what has been on my mind for the last several weeks and it's getting close. there's nothing like scrubbing a cookie sheet with steel wool until you can see your reflection to remind you of the inevitable. it's nice to be 'nesting' in January... keeps the seasonal affective disorder at bay. Ash and i hang out everyday playing, working on projects, watching the occasional episode of Old School Sesame Street (which i highly recommend). i'm really enjoying these days and i look forward to his coming into the world with much excitement and anticipation.
