Short video clip

Here is a little clip of baby Kane's arms moving and his heart beating. They counted 147 beats per minute.

ITS A BOY!!!!

Speaks for itself!!!

Hello Everyone!

Side profile

Fingers and toes...look at how cute that foot is (right) :)

Thumbs up!!!!

Yes, it is official...ITS A BOY!!!! Tonight we went and found out the sex of the baby and had Madison with us. We thought it was a boy all along from our gut feeling which turned out to be right. Madi on the other hand was not too happy. She wanted a baby sister. We have been trying to let her understand that we did not get to pick and remind her of all the things she can teach the baby that boys and girls do the same like riding bikes etc. She is slowly coming around but mad that we got it right and she was wrong :) She seems fine but is worried that she will not be able to do a hand stand or cartwheel before the baby is born. Funny to hear their perception on things.
Travis and I are extremely happy and glad to see that the baby has all limbs and looks great!

No training wheels!

We have been working with Madi since Monday when she told us she did not want training wheels on her bike any more. Tonight she got on and just took off! We were so amazed and suprised all we could do was jump up and down cheering....yes we probably looked a little silly but to us it was a huge deal :)

She's got it!!!!

Space shuttle Endeavour

I know you cant make much out of these pictures but last night just after 7:30, the space shuttle endeavour took off from Kennedy Space Center. We watched the launch on T.V. and then ran out front hoping to catch a glimpse. The night was so clear it was like it took off only a mile away. Believe it or not, we could make out the entire body of the shuttle....pretty neat as none of us have seen this before. As we were walking in we could hear the claps and cheers from people on other streets.

Here are some pics from our recent trip to Maryland. I am playing around with a new photo program that I came across so you will have to forgive the "embellishments". I do however think they look pretty cool. More pics to come but this will get you all started! We had a great time seeing family and especially visiting with Grandma. I made my heart happy to see Madi and her make bracelets and necklaces together.

Trick or Treat!!!

Witch by day (school)

Little Mermaid by night



Hanna Montana & Ariel


Last night we had a great time trick or treating. Lots of candy, fun and friends. Madi was so tired when we put her to bed (10:00) she asked that I stop reading her story so she could fall asleep. She was out in seconds! For those of you who don't know....this never happens with Madison. She fights it until the end!

Pumpkin Carving

Thursday night we carved the pumpkin. Madison's only request was she draw the face and it needed to look like a Jack o Lantern. Hopefully we succeeded! On a side note, there was a beautiful sunset that I did not get a shot of but you can kind of see it in the back ground :)
