Into 2009!

Hey all,
Suz and I are back in Denver and are getting use to the working life again. It's been a tough adjustment from no work for two weeks to working again. Sadly on our trip out to Arizona we brought our camera with full intentions of using it...a lot, I think we started out strong and then as soon as we got around family we let it slide to little to no use. So here is the first half of our trip, basically showing our little run from Denver to Los Alamos, NM and on to Kingman (LINK). Sadly our trip to Phoenix is not captured, but Suz and I did a TON of hiking with Julie and Harley and I got to mountain bike with my buddy Stew a couple times. We also got to test our parenting skills on our little niece Reagan...well maybe more like babysitting skills since we basically tried to put her to bed a couple times. I have to admit I was pretty darn clueless when it came to transitioning Reagan from sleeping in my arms to putting her in her crib...
Me: awwww...little Reagan is asleep! Oh no...how do I put her down with out waking her up? Look to Suz...whisper "how do I put her down?"
Suz whispering: "just put her down..."
Me: huh...makes sense, but, "how do I do it with out waking her up?"
Suz: "Put her down and put the blanket on"
It worked! It sounds easy, but seriously I did not want to wake her up and have to work on trying to settle her down, I mean I'm still working on how to put the baby in a crib! But like I said it worked and I did get this nice little warm fuzzy that somehow this skill will come in handy come July-ish.

Ok, so let me throw up a few pics of my sexy wife at 12 weeks. We don't see a change as of yet, but we are figuring it will start happening pretty soon!

Tomorrow is a going to be our week 12 ultrasound and finally meeting the Dr. that is supposed to be delivering our kid, so I'm pretty excited about it all! On a slight tangent Suz and I won't know the sex of the baby until March-ish and it looks like the polling is tightening up as to if it is a boy or girl, BUT we decided to start painting up the nursery. We got the paint scheme from a little dive bar we found here in Denver called Sputnik and it is just awesome! It's a good mix of colors and we figured it would work for either sex so we are moving forward with it, hoping to have it done long before we feel rushed to pick sky blue or pink and just get it done. Not sure if you've seen the room anytime in the past year, but it's an electric blue and would surely lead any human to go crazy if left in there for more then 23 minutes and 19 seconds (tested it...it's true).

Ok with that I will sign off and I making a promise to take more pics! I'll flash up nursery progression shots as well in future posts.
