Kevin&Stephanie

Kevin and I spent about half a week in Pennsylvania with Mom and Dad Anderson and Marcie during Marcie's spring break. We brought Ein, and as you can see, he's not a fan of Otto. I thought these pictures were hilarious. Ein shows his teeth...almost like a crazy smile When all the snow melted, the Grand River flooded. The Grand River is about half a mile across the road from us, but it flooded almost up to the road! Sara Baker, my friend of almost 26 years, married Mitch Vandyke on March 19. I was honored to be a bridesmaid and participate in their special day. getting gussied up The church was decorated beautifully with lots of pink roses! Friends for life me and Katie, the maid of honor, are both pregnant It was a bit chilly to be waiting outside! We sent them off with sparklers, and they left via...tractor?! Here's my belly at 26 weeks. As I write this blog, I'm 27 weeks, which means I've hit the 6 month mark! I've gained about 17 or 18 pounds so fa...

We are at war! As we speak, hundreds of invaders are attempting to breach the walls of Ft. Anderson! Our recon team, placing themselves in enemy territory at great risk to their personal safety, gathered these Intel photos of the army amassing for an invasion. In this picture you can see the aggressors breaching the perimeter. Once inside, some of their numbers, believed to be spies, congregate around windows, as is shown in this photo. Our best theory at this time is that they are sending information outside to those still attempting to breach the walls. The nature of this Intel, whether it is information on how to get in, or other data needed for further training towards their unknown objectives, is still unknown. Thus far, our E.I.T. (Enhanced Interrogation Techniques), including water-boarding (shown below)... ...and more 'primitive' methods, which have been deemed too graphic to be shown on a civilian site, have revealed nothing. They appear well trained, and are able to w...

After numerous requests, I am finally posting pictures of my pregnant self. As I have told many people, I feel like my belly's really not all that impressive. It seems like I'm just spreading out on all sides! This first picture was taken about 2 or 3 weeks ago, when I was around 19 weeks. See....not much to see! I was still in my normal pants at that time, even if they were snug. Now here I am a couple days ago, at 21 1/2 weeks. As I post this, I am 22 weeks. There is a big difference, but no watermelon. This past Wednesday I had my big ultrasound. Baby was pretty shy, and didn't seem to want to show him/herself much. The technician was able to visualize almost everything she needed to, but I'll need to get another ultrasound next visit to try to get a better view of the heart. Everything we did see looked normal and healthy. Baby is 40th percentile in size, at about 15 oz. Heart rate was 154. We did not find out the gender. Even if we'd wanted to...

Wow what a crazy couple days. We had our open house last night, and Steph and I were frantically getting ready for it. Actually, I was probably a bit more frantic than Stephanie because I was desperately scraping wallpaper, trying to finish with enough time left over to clean the room and take care of a few other things before guests began to arrive. Well, I set my deadline for 2:00, and lo and behold, I finish at 1:51. Yep, I was mighty proud of myself. So, I stood there for a moment, still standing ankle deep in wallpaper scrapings, pausing to silently pat myself on a back for finally finishing that...well, words can't even describe what a tedious pain that job was. As I stood there for that brief moment, mere seconds after finishing (literally), a car pulls into our driveway. It is Grandma and Grandpa Anderson, and Aunt Jo. Crap is all I can think. Steph is still bustling away in the kitchen, and I'm standing in what looks an Origami holocaust, covered in wallpaper glue dri...
