Finally!

So, maybe we are bad parents. Or maybe we are just procrastinators. Or maybe we just knew that if we waited, we would get the perfect shot. My vote is for the later. ;O)

We FINALLY got some professional pictures taken of Eric. We were able to take advantage of a "warmer" day and got some awesome shots. Here are a few of our favorites.

World Traveler

The Hokies won the ACC Championship (thanks in part to his good luck Baby Hokie shirt), so now he is off! Next stop...North Carolina!

TOK

While we didn't find out if it is a boy or a girl, we have officially come up with a temporary name until we meet this little one (compliments of Grandpa Darwin).

TOK...The Other Kid

Poor thing. Already taking a back seat to Eric. Now I understand how these battles between siblings get started.

Below are some pictures from our 18-week ultrasound!

The baby is facing down in the top one and facing up in the bottom one.

Thanksgiving 2008

We had an awesome time in Maine at Matty and Dena's for Thanksgiving. Doug's parents drove out from Wisconsin (22 hours!) so we had the entire Lohse/Bachman clan present. It was a lot of fun. I honestly don't know what we did to entertain ourselves before Eric came along. I have posted a slide show of my favorite pics on the main page of the blog.

A few highlights...Eric had more sugar on Thanksgiving than I think he has had cumulatively in his entire life. Pumpkin Pie and Cranberries are new favorites. Here is just a glimpse of the repercussions of our actions.

On Friday we went all drove into Bath to cut down a Christmas tree. Eric found an apple tree and a tractor that he got to drive. As a result, we have our first non-"D" word (Apple) and Eric is into steering wheels!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving!
