Updates : )

So ....finally some updates and finally some photos! Over the past couple of months, there have been a lot of things going on. We found out what we are having! We moved into a more permanent place, I started a great part time job doing web and design at our church, we went on vacation, Zach has started recording his new full length album, and plus some!

This baby is growing so fast and is so active! Rolling around, kicking and punching. Loving mostly every moment of it ; ).
Vacation was, for the most part wonderful. And that would be because Zach and I were away together, in the warm 80 degree weather on a beautiful beach in Miami, FL. There were a few minor mishaps though. The flights there were a little tough (the delays and the connections), but we made it! And when we got there (at around midnight Miami time), we were STARVING since we had no time between flights for dinner. But apparently only one restaurant was open in the area and would deliver at that time. It said "open 'til 3 AM!" on the take-out menu. So we called and called...but nobody answered. So our last resort ...a vending machine. Zach got a couple of things ...then when it was my turn ...I got one thing ...then the machine ate my money : (. Unfortunately ...it was a little bit of a rough start. We spent most of our time walking the beach to shopping and restaurants, and spent time of course on the beach, throwing a ball around or just relaxing. We went out on a 8-midnight fishing excursion as well! Not quite what we were expecting though. There was about a 35 minute delay to wait for a "regular", and we didn't catch very many fish. Zach however caught a stingray! But ...we don't have any pictures because the man from the crew cut Zach's line with no warning ...kind of a bummer. But a very exciting experience for Zach! We had wonderful food down there, and the weather was amazing, the service was just very poor :(. Needless to say ...we would not recommend Miami, FL to anyone who wants to get away and have a relaxing vacation. But we were able to make the best of every situation, and we just enjoyed each other!
Here are some pictures from our week:

 Sorry ..quality of pictures is kind of poor ...my camera died before we got to Miami ..and I realized I forgot my charger. So...we used Zach's EVO for photos : )

Also some exciting news ...we got a new vehicle! The silver sebring is out and now we have a much needed SUV! When Zach and I would go to travel (which is a lot!) we would load everything up into the car, which in most cases is his guitar, amp, mic stand, other music gear, the dog, our luggage, and of course ourselves. When we would get in and take off, we would look back and realize, "hey, there is no room for a baby in here!", or any of the gear that we will need for baby! An SUV with more room was much needed! We were so blessed to find this perfect vehicle for us at a perfect price! A Chrysler Pacifica ...It has all the features you could hope for when looking for a family friendly vehicle. It has 3rd row seating, heated front and back  leather seats, dual climate control (which I LOVE because i'm always cold and Zach is always hot), memory seat positioning, car seat latches, seats that fold down flat for more room, and a built in DVD player, perfect for baby! Here it is!

 

We LOVE it!

Zach got a new vehicle too! Out with the ole' ford focus station wagon, and in with a truck for him! Perfect for him to go hunting and fishing. He is loving his new ride too : )

I will be blogging again sometime this weekend! Which will include photos from through our the pregnancy thus far!  The baby is getting bigger and bigger every week it seems. Which makes my stomach pop out more and more each week obviously. More to come soon!
