Why a Pregnant Lady Should Never go to the Grocery Store Hungry

There were other things, but this is a good mix of what I got.

Mmm...

My sister-in-law Tor came down to hang out today. We watched Pride and Prejudice and made caramel apples. They turned out pretty cute (and very tasty!).


To make the swirls, we melted some white chocolate chips. We then put the chocolate in a baggie and cut a small hole in the corner, swirled it on, and voila! The first one turned out pretty junky, but our taste buds appreciated it!
Sorry for posting this picture, Tor, but I thought it was funny!

I'm thinking there might be a couple lucky visiting teachees out there!

Help Wanted!

We need some boy name ideas! We lean toward traditional names (hence Elinor) but are open to any suggestions!

Shark Reef

While we were in Vegas, we went to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. We have wanted to go for a few years, but it is pretty pricey. This time we decided to bite the bullet and just go. We are glad we did! Here are some pictures.

Daddy and Elinor. Not quite sure what face she is making, but it is still cute.


Elinor really liked to look at the fish. The tanks were floor to ceiling in a few places so she could go right up to the glass. A lot of the fish would come right up to her.


My best friend Andrea came with us. Here we are petting a sting ray. They are very strange feeling. We also petted the monster one.

I thought the komodo dragon was really cool, although I wouldn't want to come into contact with one without a think piece of glass between us!

Baby Clothes!

Now our new baby doesn't have to only wear pink! (That doesn't mean we won't recycle some of Elinor's outfits, we just won't have to do it as often!)

Grandma and Grandpa Rowberry got these super cute outfits for Pat.

I LOVE the socks!
These onsies are from Aunt Tor and Uncle Drew. These are exactly the type of thing that I would buy myself!

Thanks guys! We (and the future Mr. Rowberry) really appreciate it!

And the verdict...

A BOY!!!

Happy Birthday Elinor!

I can't believe Elinor is one! Today! I love this little girl and all the joy she has brought into our lives!
