We're having a boy!

Our little man left nothing to be questioned. :)

Second Anniversary

On August 1, Scott and I celebrated our two-year anniversary by going to dinner at The Melting Pot. Scott arranged for a private seating area for us and there was a beautiful red rose waiting for me at the table when we got there. It was a quiet, laid-back evening - exactly my style.

This was our last anniversary as kid-free parents. Next year we will have an 8-month-old baby! We'll have to get a babysitter! Ahhhhh!

Thank you for a great first two years, Scott. Every day is a joy knowing that I have such a wonderful man in my life. I love you.

World Cup Mania

How can you not love the World Cup? There is so much drama!

This is how Scott looks during most of USA's games. He's either like this or he's standing right in front of the TV screaming. I don't blame him. My heart rate was so high during the game against Algeria I should have counted that as my cardio for the day.

Congrats to Team USA for overcoming so many injustices and winning your group. Looking forward to the game against Ghana on Saturday!

Meet Baby McGregor

We live on Avenue Q

Scott and I drove to New Orleans last weekend to see the national tour of Avenue Q. It's basically a Sesame Street for adults, emphasis on the adult part. Here was our cast:

Looking at the playbill, I was a little nervous because so many of the cast members were either recent college grads or still in college. But they proved to be a very talented bunch and we laughed through most of the show, despite the total lack of theater etiquette displayed by the people of New Orleans. But I won't get on my soapbox about that.

Here we are standing outside the Mahalia Jackson Theatre before the show (apparently it was too much work to ask someone else to take a picture of the two of us together):

Aren't the fountains lovely?

What do you think of Scott with hair?

My personal cobbler

There are many reasons I love my husband. This is one of the more superficial reasons. I have a pair of shoes that have elastic on the ankle strap. Thus, they never fit tightly enough and I never wear the shoes, which is a shame because they're very cute. Enter: my awesome husband. One night he whipped out a nail and hammer and started pounding away at the strap providing me with about three new holes in each strap so I could choose my preferred tightness. I wore the shoes out that night and they worked like a charm, even when I had to walk a good distance from our parked car to the hockey game. Thank you, Scott!

Goodbye, Jen and Danny

Earlier this month we had to say goodbye to one of Scott's co-workers. Jen and her husband Danny (both sitting on the other side of Scott in the picture) will be enjoying the gorgeous landscape of Alaska for the next several years thanks to the Air Force. The night before they left, a few of us met up for dinner to say our goodbyes. We will miss you, Jen and Danny, and wish you the best! Stay warm!

By the way, this is the second family we have lost to Alaska in the last 3 months. I hope it's not a trend...
