Baby Update

Although we have no pictures we wanted to give you a quick baby update.

Natalie, Ella and I went to the doctor on Monday to hear the baby's heartbeat.  They found it right away and it seemed to creep Ella out.  Right now Natalie is at 17 weeks.  We have our sonogram to find out the sex on February 2 at 11:00.  We will be going to the office in Towson and will let everyone know right away.  

For a boy we are looking at the name Samual Maximus and for a girl Samantha.

We read somewhere that Samual means a patient gift from God... we certainly feel that fits

There are some great new pictures on the Mobile Me account, check it out.

Relaxing with Donnie and the Girls

Once Grumpy, Baba, and Uncle Al fled the scene Donnie, Sophia and Skyler hung around and spent some down time in Maryland.

One night we stayed up to watch "Kung Foo Panda," which everyone seemed to love.
Aunt Natalie found and awesome playground at a McDonald's in Aberdeen.  Skyler was the perfect size to run through the tubes and although Uncle Donnie was a little big, he managed to have a great time chasing the girls.
Ella got a little tired in the tunnels, where there was apparently a lot of static!

Uncle Donnie was brave enough to take Ella and Sophia out on the ice to skate.  Ella said that she was going "super fast" and Sophia said that it was pretty cold.
Aunt Natalie was in charge of getting everyone ready and entertaining Skyler.
Skyler always found a reason to laugh and enjoy herself.  She sure does light up a house!
