Week 29-Here we come!

It was a quiet weekend but Milo and I got out for a walk with our friends Lynne and Piper. Here's a pic of me on the Coastal Trail with downtown Anchorage barely visible over my shoulder. Lynne assured me you can still see the baby bump underneath my puffy. I sent the picture to Jessica who was impressed I can still zip the puffy. :-).

Week 28 photo

Okay, I've gotten several requests so here it is. I'm on my way to work today. Thanks to Monica for the nice maternity sweater (and other clothes) and my mom for sending the green shirt

(and other maternity clothes!)

I'm way better dressed now then pre-pregnancy. :-)

Week 28 beckons--Third Trimester!

We take a break from our regularly scheduled program to show off some hilarious old pics that I found while cleaning out the second bedroom to make way for baby. These ones are mostly from our first season in Crested Butte before we were dating--and obviously eager CBMR employees. Ahh, so fresh faced, so much hair! I believe the one with my mom is the first time she met Cam in the spring of 1999.

Big snows--big belly

We got our first big snow of the season last night. This means a few things--Anchorage drivers will be paralyzed for the next two days like they've never seen this white stuff before and Cam is working late at the ski area because they've decided to open. Tomorrow. He's building a ramp at the top of the chairlift as I write this.

Me, on the other hand, just gets to enjoy six inches of fresh snow. My friend Amanda and I broke out the Nordic gear for the first ski at Kincaid Park. It was a peaceful night on the trails and we had a beautiful evening. Now, I'm back at home with the fire going in the stove--it's feeling like winter!

For the record, that pink strip you see is actually a shirt--and not bare skin. I'm not that brave!!!

Week 25, Going on 26

Cam isn't home tonight but I really wanted to get the blog post out--so you get to see my own iphone handiwork in this week's photos. I'm fresh from yoga practice. That's why I'm so relaxed. :-). Cam is out meeting with his Park crew and lining out all the new features for the season-there's talk of using an old van as a rail slide...more on that later.

Anyhoo, we had a great Halloween with our friends Chris and Theresa and their 1 1/2 year old Sam. Sam dressed up as the devil (although he's really the opposite) and handed out treats to the bands of trick or treaters that descend on the Turnagain neighborhood. My favorites were a homemade slinky, a comet and a trio that included Harry Potter, Hermione and the baby sister, which was dressed up as Hedwig. Too cute.
