No blogging lately, because there isn't much news to report. But if you are interested in all the little details of what we've been up to, read on!

We've been doing some yardwork and stuff around the house. Last weekend we went hiking with Dan & Vanessa and the dogs. It's been rainy so we haven't been to the dogpark (too muddy), but we have been doing some walking around the neighborhood.

A pub we used to frequent, the Tipperary Inn, has been closed for a while and re-opened on Saturday night so we went down the Grand Re-Opening, and then checked out Big Ed's new house nearby. He moved out of Flower Mound (a really far away suburb) to downtown-ish Dallas so he is really enjoying that.

In pregnancy news, I'm 25 weeks along now and things are still going very smoothly. I can feel lots of kicks and movements inside now, and Ted can feel them from the outside, and sometimes we can even see my stomach bumping and lumping, so that is neat. We are halfway through our Bradley Childbirth class and really enjoying it. We have not really started shopping for the baby or doing any re-organizing or decorating in the house yet, honestly I don't know if we will as the baby will be sleeping in our room for a while anyway. Some folks have given us some generic-gender clothes. The one thing I have bought is a First Journey Baby Carrier as this brand came highly recommended from two new mom friends. I have started a registry online (also available at Babies R Us & Toys R Us stores) although it is more of a way for me to keep track of things I am considering buying, than because I am expecting anyone to give us any of this stuff. But anyone interested in checking it out can click here.

Ted and the animals are all doing well. Ted and I are both very busy at work these days, often working from home after we leave the office.

Well, that's about all the news from here!
