32 Weeks and Counting

Merry Christmas! Well, almost. Thanks to Picnik for assisting in the creation of our Christmas picture (on the right). The picture was taken at the wedding of Allison's cousin, Ben, over Thanksgiving break. We were able to spend four days with family and it was great considering we don't think we'll be able to go home for Christmas. So, that means Allison and I will be spending Christmas morning alone for the first time ever. We've made plans to make it fun, so don't feel too bad for us.

On a different note.

I've never liked it when a couple devotes their entire blog to updating everyone on their new baby, so I will try hard not to do the same. Don't get me wrong, I'll post updates on Eli, but I don't want this to turn into a baby blog. So, he is healthy (as far as we know), moving around a lot (keeping Mom awake at night), and will be with us shortly. I'll add pictures of Allison and I as babies below just to give you an idea of what he may look like.













And here's our most recent funny story: While in Paris, Allison and I stopped at Sonic for a burger during lunch - the fact that we ordered a burger is irrelevant - and I also ordered a cup of water. I sat the cup in the console of our vehicle. That night, Allison placed her tissue (filled with snot) inside the cup - I did not see her do this. When we got out of the car, I grab the cup and began drinking from it. I did notice it tasted a little different, but didn't stop drinking until Allison said, "Gary, I put my snot tissue in there!". Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
