19 week sonogram

Well, we just had our 19 week sonogram, and the baby checks out great. All the measurements are right on for where he/she should be. The sono tech confirmed major organs are present and look good. So we're counting our blessings that everything is going smoothly so far.














...now I know what all of you want to know...is it a boy or a girl?


...sorry, but we all will have to wait a few more months to find out. :)

Alaska Vacation 2009 - Part 2: Moose Pass

Once in Moose Pass, Jaclynn baked a blueberry cobler. The Breakfast of Champions.
Moose Pass is a small little community, but really nice and peaceful. Below are some pictures from "around town."

Here's the Inn...with live dancing at the bar on Friday nights...and no, I wasn't able to get Jaclynn or Lorri to go with me.

Alaska Vacation 2009 - Part 1 - Blueberry Hills

I know...I know...we're behind with our blog postings, better late than never. Here's a few (well quite a few) pictures along with a summary of our vactation to Alaska last year.



A co-worker and friend purchased a vacation home in Moose Pass, Alaska and invited us up to play tourist, so we just couldn't pass up the offer (Thanks Lorri!). And what a fun time...we've got a lot of stories. We started the trip by heading north from Anchorage to get a view Denali (only out-of-towners call it Mt. McKinley...just in case you were wondering). On the way we spent the night in an out of season cross-country ski lodge in Hatcher Pass.

Here's our cabin in Hatcher Pass. Unfortunately, a rain storm rolled in just as we arrived so rather than hike in the cold and rain we played board games insides the lodge and relaxed.

We soon realized that the ski lodge was surrounded by wild blueberry fields so we spent the afternoon hiking around the area and picking up blueberrys....really good blueberrys.


The Next Day we hiked around an old mine just up the road from the ski lodge. Got a quick peak at Denali and started the drive to Moose Pass.



Jaclynn has an uncanny ability to time her blinks with the snap of a camera...but don't we look like a good couple anyway?
