Baby is a........

....nother GIRL! We had the ultrasound today and all looked good except she mentioned something looked a little irregular about my placenta but the baby looks good now, so they'll just add two more ultrasounds to make sure things continue well. Jason saw it first, before the ultrasound technician said anything, and he said "Oh boy!" since he saw it was a girl and he was in for being outnumbered, and the technician said, "Actually, it's a girl!"

I'm 5 months along now and feeling great! 

30+ new photos are shared in our album here.

Father's Day

There has been a flurry of activities since we last posted.  Sorry for the delay.  We've updated a few photos in our family album you can see here.  We spent two weekends in Ellensburg, and one weekend in Edwall. We have been on 4 hikes so far this year, making an effort to our goal of 12.  We helped Jill's Gramps move to a new home one weekend, and another weekend we had to do research for buying a replacement to our faithful Explorer (Edwardo) that just had it's transmission go out.  We have also been busy doing stuff around the house and activities with our church.  Jason has recently transitioned to a slightly different position at Boeing that he is looking forward too.  This weekend we ventured over to visit the new American Car Museum in Tacoma.  That was pretty cool.  Evelyn is growing up so fast and her little personality is starting to come out more and more.   That is all for now, more later you can be sure.

Easter!

We had a fun day today celebrating Christ's resurrection. Brett & Angela came over for a ham dinner and we also had a little egg hunt for Evelyn. We had to convince her to pick up eggs and put them in her basket at first, but once she found out there were little treats inside, that motivated her to keep going. What a silly tradition she must have thought--why do these eggs have food inside them and why are they outside? It was quite fun to watch. She'll probably expect them to be there again the next time we go outside:) Here are more pictures.

Kitty & Laughing Videos

Evelyn is chasing Patches, the resident kitty at the nursing home where Great Grandma Klein is staying. She got quite a kick out of following kitty around!

Evelyn's First Independant Step

Today is Jill's Birthday!  My lovely wife appreciates all the well wishes, cards, calls, and face book messages you all sent.  We are all blessed by your love and friendship.  As promised to a few, I want to share these videos captured yesterday.  Evelyn just decided she was ready to walk all by herself.  None of this holding on to people's hands stuff!

This last week Seattle made national news due to some unusually high amounts of snowfall and followed up with an ice storm.  Some on the radio and at work were calling it Snomaggedon 2012.  I worked from home on Wednesday, but managed to make the commute the last two days of the week without incident.  Jill took this pretty picture to the left on Thursday.  That pretty ice caused a lot of damage.  Lots of trees and bushes were broken by it's weight.  This caused many communities to loose power.  One of our friends we visited today still doesn't have power and no word when it might be restored.

Without further adieu, here are the promised videos:
