Cowboy Up

Ryan recently spent a stint in Montana on his parents ranch to help them out as they came home from the horse racing season. He painted, did repairs, caught a bear, broke some horses, and grew a few inches. Here are some pictures of his trip (yes, those are Wranglers).

We also spent Thanksgiving on the Ranch which was wonderfully relaxing. We definately ate a lot of good food, and Katie's belly has been a little bigger ever since. I haven't had the nerve to post a belly picture yet despite the requests from family and friends, maybe soon if I have a weak and irrational moment. Hope you are all enjoying the snow!

The Reveal

Alright, the moment we have been waiting for. Our good friends threw us a small party where we as well as all the guests were suprised by the gender of the baby by opening up a present. So, here is the picture story of the night . . .

And

IT'S A BOY!!!

It's A . . . .

Stay tuned for exciting news. Last chance for gender predictions.

The Thinker

I know we mentioned before that our baby was going to be really smart based upon the size of head in comparison to the rest of the body, but check this out: We had another ultrasound done recently and our baby was deep in thought in the "thinker" pose (not to mention the well developed brain in photo 2). Talk about intelligent! Ok, so maybe he/she was just sucking their thumb, but even figuring that one out at such a young age takes some skill. Enjoy the photos!
