Congrats to Curt!

My wonderful hubby has received word that another manuscript of his has been accepted to a journal for publication! Translation: He is a smarty and did great research that is worth publishing for the good of the fish world. Way to go Curt. Along with him taking care of our family he is working hard to continue his academic pursuits. I am so proud of him!

Bring It On!

We are ready to get the show on the road. The room is ready, Curt found the baby monitor (no small task), anything that could come in contact with the babies mouth has been boiled and sanitized, the car seat is installed, diapers are purchased, food is made in the freezer, bags are packed and I am ready to be done! Bring it on! I have reviewed Babywise and my labor book (which is a total joke) and feel as prepared as possible. All we need now is a baby and boat load of batteries for the baby technology.

I Love You Doodle Bug!

Mug Shots

I didn't do it, and I am not a pit bull, I swear!

Another Edition of Kids Say the Darnest Things

Funny story from a couple nights ago while Curt tucked Ali in to bed:

Ali: "big house daddy..."

Curt: "what did you say?"

Ali: "big house daddy..."

Curt: "Ah Ali, that's sweet"

Ali crawls into her 'big girl bed' and lays in position, Curt starts to cover her up with a blanket, Ali pushes back up and turns her head around to look at Curt and with her head shaking no and a disgusted look on her face she says very directly...

Ali: "this is NOT a big house daddy"

and she turns around without saying anything more and goes to sleep.

Retirement: It's never too early to save...

This holiday season has given way to me seeing some "moneys"come my way. I recieved some cash, a piggy bank, a debit card (its pretty pink & purple) and a purse. I first considered going to Walmart and splurging on lollipops and ice cream, but thought better and decided it was time to save. Dad took me to the bank Saturday to start a savings account. Here I am getting ready to go. This is where I do business. It's a member of FDIC.
I waited very patiently and made some friends with some older ladies and a baby. Each time someone moved I said, "It's Ali's turn!".
It's official...I am now a bank customer. Now when my new piggy bank is full of "moneys" I can dump it on this nice ladies desk and make a deposit. Thanks for the special Daddy-Daughter time!

Happy New Year

Hey everyone. We must apologize for falling off the blogging wagon. It has been awhile since an update. I'm (Curt) not the regular posting person, so I'll let Sara update you more fully. Just wanted to let you know we didn't give up on the blog and thought I'd post a few holiday pictures. Happy 2009!
