Hoppy Easter!! (yes, I meant "hoppy")


Hoppy Easter everyone!


Please tell us that spring is right around the corner?


We are getting dumped with snow up here! But I better be careful of what I wish for because the heat of the summer is right in front of us.

Speaking of the heat... Larry and I are working on the house and reconfiguring things to accomidate the baby and future guests. We will be looking into some options to add cooling options to our old house so we don't have to use window air conditioners around the baby.

Option 1 - Central Air to 2nd level
Option 2 - Installing cooling in the attic - Like shown here: http://www.unicosystem.com/
Option 3 - Updating the house with duct system and full AC and New Heating.
Our guess is that option 1 will be the lower cost solution, but what is the right thing to do? ;)

If you have any suggestions or know of anyone that can help us with this decision, please let us know.

Things are going pretty well otherwise. Larry is still doing physical therapy for his back hoping that he can avoid surgery; Easter was great! Good food and great company!!

The baby is growing and am I... no worries... just bummed about getting so big!!!

Love to all!
Joy & Larry

The ultrasound was AMAZING!

Sorry for the late posting for the ultrasound pictures... we were pretty busy with the St. Patrick's festivities this weekend.
The ultrasound was amazing and everything is looking just perfect for the little one. We bought a new video camera - very nice one - in hopes that we could tape the session, but they would not allow it. We will ask our Doctor to see if she could do another one in her office that we could tape so you all can see the movement. It is amazing!!
We are still unable to tell the sex of the baby, but the technician put her best guess in an envelope for us to open at a later date. Larry and I will try hold out until our anniversary...June 2nd. ;)
Baby design is underway... still determining a theme... Pretty exciting. We are moving everything around in the house to get ready for guest rooms for visiors. We are very exicted to have Larry's family come visit us again!
