The Forests of Sherwood

This weekend Alan, Raja and I went tree hunting with the Whipples. It was a cold, but dry sunny day in the suburbs of Sherwood.

Brick for Sheep?

Alan and I are on fire for Settlers of Catan! A few weekends ago, our friends Melinda and Trevin invited us over for game night to teach Alan how to play. He loved it and almost won the second match. Since then he's discovered an online computer version, an XBox version, and taught MikeyB how to play. I'm pretty sure we'll be playing more often over the holidays when we're home with the baby. Love it!

T-Minus 13 Days...

Mark your calendars! December 18 is officially our induction date. We're to check into the hospital at 5 a.m. Fingers crossed the Bean arrives on his own before then.

Beth's stats this week: 2+ centimeters dialated, 85% effaced, -1 station. Yippee!
