Out on the Town

As promised, more pictures from our visit. On friday night and saturday, we swung by the sweet corn festival and the farmer's market in Urbana. Eggplants of strange colors and shapes were purchased, as were some rather tasty peaches:



Today, we went to the Monticello Railway Museum, which has several well-restored trains, and a bunch on the way to that condition. As you can see, we had a good time:

The crib is here, and so is the future uncle

S.'s brother is here to visit, and his toes can be seen here (more photos from this weekend will be posted soon). Also making an appearance is the crib, which we finally got from the store and built. Just the installation of the car seat and the whole labor and delivery thing left...



A short video documentary about the crib, including some breathtaking camera work (still learning to use the zoom properly) for your viewing pleasure:

She's a Peanut!

For those who haven't heard the news, our last ultrasound revealed a little bit of news that we'd been missing throughout the pregnancy...and it turns out the peanut is a she, as a plurality of people thought in the poll that can be found below. Sorry, all of you who picked Boy or Monty Python. For the sake of propriety, we'll keep the key photos in question private, as such thing can be found all across the internet if one is really interested. Instead, our first face-to-face encounter with the peanut will have to do:

And while we are at it, a picture of the momma as well, listening to some music at Allerton Park in nearby Monticello, IL:

The Pregnancy Journey Continues...

August 9, 2007 (36 Weeks along) We went to the Illinois Shakespeare Festival on the grounds of Ewing Manor in Bloomington, IL to see Love's Labours Lost. The peanut needs some culture!
