"Health insurance is like a punch in the mouth." -Alex

We've been meaning to make it to the dentist for a while now (we've even been saving our change in a tea pot on our stove) but it's just so expensive. Hopefully it's not too late for us.




Can you tell we don't have any children to keep us busy?

"Bears . . . Beets . . . Battlestar Galactica"

So I am sitting in the computer lab, in the middle of a hot July afternoon, wondering how long this week's reading will take . . . when I look across the aisle and there he is. Big goofy glasses- check. Balding, greasy hair- check. Smirking- check. Yep, it's him. The only thing missing is the tie, too bad. Gotta love Dwight.

Oh, memories . . .

It's been fun thinking of funny old things that have happened. In case anyone else wants to add here, feel free. (This will serve as our memory tag post. I'm just going to go ahead and assume most people have seen this already.)

Random Samplings

Well, here are a few things that we have been meaning to share for a while. I suppose none of them are incredibly significant, just kind of fun. Enjoy.


Though my sister had a baby already I wanted to share this picture. She liked for our babies to be able to converse belly to belly each time we saw each other. She is nine months pregnant and I am about six months pregnant in this picture. We call this one "Nice Talk."


Our fish died this week. When we came back on Sunday, they were gone. We got them the day that we met, coincidentally. We were hoping they would make it to a year, but they were just a month short. They were wonderful fish and we will miss them. So long Lois and Penny. (Don't worry, they are alive in the picture.)

We baked our first loaf of regular bread together (you know, not banana or zucchini). Yum.


These are some babies shoes we bought a little while ago. They are so cute; the blue ones are called "Squeakers" and I think that is awesome. The other ones look sort of like snow boots I think, but I love them. We can't wait till our baby is here. Alex keeps having dreams that he is already born or that he can come out and play for a little while. We are getting very excited!

Baby

My sister Megan had her baby nearly two weeks ago. I've been kind of slow in updating lately but I thought I'd share a few pictures because he is really adorable. He was born June 30 at 9:44 PM. 8 pounds 4 ounces and 21 inches long. His name is Jamison Hughes (Henderson) Parker. He is my first nephew from my immediate family, so this was pretty exciting. Megan was really inspiring for all of us throughout the whole thing and I am grateful that she wanted me to be a part of her experience. I love you Megs!
