Pregnant Sara

As requested by the readers, here is the first picture of Sara pregnant. Notice the cute pregnancy belly.....

Feeling a bit . . . .

We fell off the blog wagon for a bit. I don't have a good excuse. Maybe we're exuding all the laziness we can possibly muster while we can. In the mean time, is it really only 300 additional calories I need added to my daily diet?

Beauty and Grace

Shortly after the new year, I was given the opportunity to celebrate my Grandma's life with the rest of my family in Idaho. I flew into Bismarck, from which my brother and I drove to Idaho. It was a beautiful drive.

I spent wonderful time with Grandpa, my family, aunts, uncles and cousins. We all participated in adorning the memorial with some of Grandma's favorite things: butterflies and red flowers.

And finally our drive back to North Dakota; luckily we didn't need chains. (I had to remind myself to keep my eyes on the road.) I'm in awe of the way God shows His comfort and peace even in the gathering of family and in the stillness of His creation.

Poll for the readers:

So who do you think he/she is going to look like based on the profile?

Day of baking

Saturday we stayed in, wrapped presents and baked and cooked. Sara baked scones, two types of cookies (with more to come) and John baked a loaf of bread and also made Coq au Vin for dinner:Rachel came over for dinner and we also played some Guitar Hero:

St Paul at night

St. Paul is very Christmasy this time of year. We went to see the Rice Park Tree (talled than and twice the lights of the Rockefeller Center tree) and then take in the sites and the skating rink on Friday. It was very nice:

We also met some friends at the park:

And what it looks like inside the big tree (this is more electricity than my house has):
