Guess What?!?

Here is a definitive picture showing the sex of our unborn baby...


















Just in case you can't decipher the picture above (it's taken from behind, like he is mooning us...) here is the card the UltraSound place gave us (note the "you-can't-sue-us-if-we're-wrong" language).














We opened the card at a wonderfully romantic dinner at Canlis~

20 Week UltraSound!

We were thrilled to see a healthy (and rapidly moving!) baby. The technician did a great job capturing detailed images. Here are a few:

Right Foot (5 toes!)














Hand and Arm

This is a picture of his face (kind of looks like Skeletor doesn't he?)















Here is another sweet profile-- this is his chest and head

Lola Enjoying the Colorado Snow...

We had several feet of snow during our visit to Colorado. Lola loved it as much as JJ, who was able to ski 7 days at Vail and 1 day in the backcountry!

Piper surprises JJ with the BIG news!

September 10th, 2008
JJ was about to leave for a 2 week tour of Scotland with his rugby club and Piper convinced him to take Lola down to the beach for a "swim."















Little known to him, Piper had gone to the doctor's office and gotten a blood test and had just found out she was 5 weeks pregnant!












Piper surprised JJ with this cute card (which of course she had on hand in her card box!) and a mini bottle of Piper champagne from our wedding over 5 years ago!














Needless to say, we were thrilled and completely excited about the unknown and exciting adventures ahead of us!

Here We Go!

Piper and JJ officially launch into the blogosphere together with Absolutely Abo!

The idea is to have a place to share with everyone the voyage of our lives-- especially as we embark on our next great adventure-- Baby #1!
