The Announcement

We were fortunate enough to share the news of Richelle's pregnancy with her family (and my Dad).  We announced the news in the middle of a video I made of a cruise Richelle and I took with the Knudsen clan (Ken, Juanita and K.C.).  At the end of the video we dropped the pumpkin bomb.  Since we weren't able to share the news this way with everyone else we decided to post it...

Hello World!

Ok, Richelle and I decided to start a blog so that our family and friends won't have to view a deluge of pictures from our quest into parenthood and other various adventures. Without further ado, here's a brief synopsis of what's been happening in Raleigh:

1) 2904 (our house) has sold! We closed on our house of four years May 27th, 2008. Everything went smoothly, except for a bit of toilet bowl cleaner that leaked out of the bottle onto our carpet. Well, it didn't really leak - I dropped the bottle. But the cap was not securely fastened, so someone else (not to mention any names) may share some of the blame :). That little setback cost a chunk of change. Anyway, with the help of my Dad, we were able to stuff a POD (portable on-demand storage unit) full of most of our worldly possessions.

2) Because of the sale of the house, and the fact that we won't be leaving Raleigh until mid-June, we are now living in temporary housing. The place comes fully furnished and has a place to walk Ellie. The best part - it comes with cable (it's been a while since we last had cable)!!

3) We found out Richelle is carrying a little girl. This is great news for Babies-R-Us since I can guarantee that my mother-in-law will be spending a few hours in their stores.


Well, the battery on my laptop is almost drained and Richelle is completely drained so I guess that's it for this post.
