Look who learned how to post!!!

Hey ladies!  

I really don't have anything to say, I'm just excited that I know how to post!  Since I'm here... Here's something you'll all appreciate.  So one night we heard this jazzy music coming from the basement and we were like, "who is playing that music?" So we went to the basement and this is what we found:  Joe and Maile having a dance party!  He is the CUTEST uncle to her, plays with her all night and does anything she says :) How about those moves huh?  I watch it every day I think it is so funny and cute 

It's a ......

                            Here is our Little Girl!  Our doctor is so funny...  He was typing it in and speaks okay English and was like, "how do you spell Mommy? Momy?  I guess English is a little strange....

                             I know you can't see her too clear but I love this one with her little hand underneath her chin!!

      
So we are super excited to have a little girl!  We had a feeling we were going to have a girl all along.  Also after much thought and prayers we decided that I am going to come home for the delivery.  I am super sad that I am going to be away from Drew for so long but the cost to have it down here will be too much and if there are any complications, it would put us in debt for years.  So I can get insurance at home but I have to be home before the end of July so I actually am flying in July 27th.  So I hope to see each of you tons and Les, you are going to have to tell El that you need to come home and visit!!  I love you all and I hope everyone is enjoying their summer....

Chicago

We took a little trip to Chicago for a weekend get away, to see my sister and her family before they moved to San Francisco.  Elliot hadn't seen where they lived, so we spent a few days seeing their life.  Chicago is such a fun city, and we were able to do so much!  We went to the Sear's tower, and rode bikes along the lake one day.  I felt like I was at the beach.  It was heavenly!!!  It was such a beautiful, fun, busy weekend!

Then, to make a long story short... we missed our flight home.  We both had to be home for work the next day, and we weren't going to be able to get on a plane for 2 days, due to so many canceled flights.  So at 12:30a.m. we rented a car and began driving from the top of the country... to the bottom!  We drove all night, through St. Louis, and on home.  It was a long drive, but actually turned out to be so much fun!  St. Louis... The gateway to the west.

a little get together

It was so great to be with you guys and thanks for the beautiful cake! We missed you Whit and Les!

Spring Is Here!

Spring is in full bloom here in the south.  It's gorgeous weather, 80 degrees daily, and this is what it looks like driving up and down every street!  It's beautiful.  Who would have thought the south would be so beautiful, green, and such gorgeous weather?  I'm loving it!
