Baby Pics



So if you're talented you can pick out Sam's face in these photos. This is the 4D ultrasound, and it was really cool. In the first one he's got the cord passing over his eyes right above his nose, and his arm up over the left side of his face with his hand on his forehead. Cute little cubby hand already. In the second one, you can see his face in the left side of the picture.
Today things are going to start to be getting back to normal since mom and dad regained power this afternoon. Hopefully by next week we'll all be back to our normal sleeping, eating and playing schedules. This storm has been interesting since I've never seen so much devastation like this in person. This kind of stuff happens on tv, not to Kentucky. It's like an 80-mile-wide tornado came through and knocked down the top half of all the trees. I've not seen much damage to houses though, which is really good. But it looks like some sort of war zone. I wish I had a wood chipper or knew someone who did; my landscaping would be really pretty this spring with wood mulch. As it is, the entire region will be cleaning up way into the Spring.
Alex and Avril are doing well. I think Alex is enjoying homeschooling alright, but next year I think I'll invest in some pre-laid-out curriculum. I don't feel very prepared this semester. I suppose that's alright since it's only kindergarten.
Frank is into his last full semester of college. Hopefully with a few extra hours taken in May/June he'll be ready to graduate in August. The new idea he's come up with is looking for a job in the Fort Campbell/Clarksville area which is only an hour away from our current location so that's alright with me. We'll just see.
I am now 14 weeks away from having the baby, and not quite prepared yet. I've still got a few large items I need to buy, and a house to clean. I'm also embarking on what will be the last carpentry job for awhile, a headboard for my room. Hopefully that project will be done by this time next week then begin shampooing all the carpets. It never is really ever done.
Here are some pictures of a few trees in Calvert.
