More Baby Gabe Pics!
We did our second 3D Ultrasound on Tuesday and Gabe was looking great! We were amazed by how much he already looks like Olivia.
He opened his eyes a few times for us.
Last time, we made him cry...this time, he smiled!
He actually made a few funny faces...
And he even came close to sucking his thumb.

Natural Science Center
Olivia and Daddy went to the Natural Science Center. The NSC has all manner of kid-friendly displays and fun things to see.
This thing is freaking awesome. Olivia and I could (and did) sit and watch it for a long time. It's like a rollercoaster for little steel balls, with jumps and loops and trap doors...it's really something to see. 
They have a big maze that has a three big frogs in it. Olivia loves running through it and finding all the frogs.
This is another favorite display. It's a water table that pumps the water from the bottom back to the top end of the table and you can put barriers in the water to create rapids and waterfalls and watch the boats float around and over them.

Gabe's "Room"
Not to be outdone by the lair of cuteness that is Olivia's room, Gabe now has a room of his own. Nana's ingenious idea to use bi-fold doors to create walls has given Gabe a perfect place of his own once he moves out of our room. Of course, he first needs to move out of Rebecca...
These doors can be closed so he won't be disturbed by anyone walking by.
She managed to find this very adorable bedding set. Considering Olivia's penchant for octopuses (yes, we looked that up) and fishies, I was surprised that she wasn't the least bit jealous of Gabe's decor. She simply pointed out what each animal was and left it at that.

Olivia's Room
We spent this weekend decorating Olivia's room. It took the better part of 2 days, but it was worth it. The room looks wonderful and Olivia loves it! A huge THANK YOU to Nana and Pop-pop for helping us out!

Pictures of Gabe
We went last weekend to Tiny Toes Imaging, a 3D ultrasound place, and got a great set of pictures of Gabriel.
His eyes were open for some of the appointment.
He kept trying to hide from us, so the tech kept pushing onRebecca's belly to get him to move around.
We actually made him cry! :(
Of course, being my son, he wasn't upset for long and was ready to go back to sleep in no time.
All that wavy, scrambled egg-looking stuff on top of his head (not by his cheek) is hair!

Rebecca's Wallet Adventure
Since Rebecca hasn't gotten around to telling the story, I will. :)
About a week ago, Rebecca went shopping and then to a friends house to hang out. After she left her friends house, she was going to grab Olivia a bite to eat at a Chick-Fil-A and she realized she didn't have her wallet. Uh-oh! She had put it in her pocket when she checked out at the store, so she went back to see if she might have dropped it. No luck. No one had turned in a wallet and it wasn't lying in the parking lot. She called her friend and they searched their house, but it wasn't there either. When I got home from work, I searched through her car and the bags she'd had with her, but once again, no joy. So we called and cancelled all our credit cards (except my Amex) and her ATM card. About 2 hours after we went through all this trouble, she was checking her email and she saw a Facebook friend request from some 20-year-old UNC-G student. She was about to blow him off when she saw that he had sent her a message. She accepted his friend request, read the message and lo and behold, he had her wallet! He'd found it in the middle of the street between the store and her friend's house. Apparently Rebecca had taken the wallet out of her pocket and set it on top of the car while she buckled Olivia into her car seat. She must have driven off with it still on the roof! She got the guy's address and we went and picked up the wallet. Everything was still in it, including the cash, which we gave him as a reward.
It's amazing that this guy went through the trouble of searching Facebook to find her and return her wallet. It kinda restores our faith in people that someone would make that extra effort to return the wallet rather than going on a shopping spree before we could get the cards cancelled.

Our 8th Anniversary
We celebrated by going to a Grasshoppers game. It has been a while since we have been to a minor league game but it was fun. It has become somewhat of a tradition to go to a baseball game for our anniversary. We have gone 5 of our last 6 years. The first 4 were Rockies games in Colorado. Minor League is definitely more fun (and cheaper too!).
This is Guilford Grasshopper. Very tacky outfit!
This is Miss Babe Ruth (the dog). She was trained to run the bases, bring balls to the umpire, and retrieve bats from behind home plate.

Munchkin Yoga
I came home from work yesterday and found Olivia and Rebecca doing yoga. Olivia tried really hard to do the moves like mommy.
Fine, (sigh) we have a blog now :P
Since we seemed to be the only ones in the family without a blog, with the exception of Greg (get with it, boy!), I finally set one up for us. One of us will update it about once a week or so, but no promises :)
