Dragon*Con 2007

We just returned from Dragon*Con 2007 and had a blast! Lots of great panels, cool costumes. I met a group called Fans for Christ that I'm excited to become a part of - there was a service held Sunday morning.

Our costumes this year were: Jayne and Vera (from Firefly/Serenity), Zorro and Elena (didn't end up with any pics), and then I had a couple of faerie/elf costumes.

We enjoyed the build team from Mythbusters and the session with Data, Dr. Crusher and Riker from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The Buffy Horror Picture Show, where the musical episode is acted out with audience participation was hilarious once again.

We had our pics taken with James Marsters and Juliet Landau (Spike & Drusilla from Buffy and Angel), Jonathan Frakes (Riker from Star Trek and Xanatos from Gargoyles) and Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek and Puck from Gargoyles). All of them seemed very nice, James complemented my costume!

Check out the photos in Our Photos under the Dragon*Con 2007 set.

New Anya Pics

Check out the new 9, 10 and 11 month pics in Our Photos. Yes, I was really off my game for Month 9.

Cayman Islands

Okay, I've decided to be better about updating the frontpage of the site! You can also now sign up for an RSS feed to be notified when I make updates.

We were in the Cayman Islands July 13 -21. It was wonderful! I got my scuba diving certification (Sean already has his). The water was 86 degrees with 60+ feet of visibility. God's creation is truly a wonder to behold!

10 Month Checkup

Anya is doing great! Here are her stats:

Weight: 17 lbs, 8 oz (35%)

Height: 29 1/3" (84%)

Head Circumference: 44 cm (56%)

No shots this time!

Doctor thinks she will walk early as she is already cruising and attempting to stand on her own. She still alternates between a commando style crawl and regular crawling and is quite fast! She says Mama, Dada and we think we've heard both "Belle" and "milk".

She's still not really big on food, particularly her solids, but she really enjoys feeding the dogs her veggie puffs.

She waves "hi" (we're working on more sign language) and make sure to tell her to do her "tough potato" next time you see her!

Christmas Time

Anya met Santa for the first time last night! She asked for binkies! :)

2 Month Checkup

Anya had her two month checkup today. She is doing great! Dr. Wieler commented on what a good natured baby she is. She was not happy about her four shots, but seemed to get over them pretty quickly.

Here are the latest stats:
Height: 22 1/3" (50th percentile)
Weight: 11 lbs 11 oz (75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 39 cm (50th percentile)

This is such a relief from when she was only in the 25th percentile for weight and wasn't gaining well! Dr. says not to worry that she's now gaining too much, babies often put on some extra weight at this age to prepare for all the activity coming up as she becomes more awake and more mobile!

ANYA IS HERE!

Argia (pronounced ar-gee-ah) is my Italian great-grandmother on my dad's side.
Although I never met her, my dad's descriptions of her and the love she showed
he and my uncles made a big impression on me. The name is to honor both her and dad.

36 Weeks

Wow! What a difference a few months makes! Take a look at 16 weeks for comparison. I'm huge!

Nursery

Many of you have been asking how the Narnian Nursery is shaping up. Thanks to many wonderful people, it's looking gorgeous! Mom and Dad painted the walls in various shades of spring green to start.

The room is oddly shaped, and opens into a little nook. Walking through the door is like going through the wardrobe into the forest with the lampost burning softly. The trees are a rub-on transfer called Tatouage. Due to the roughness of the walls, they didn't quite go on smoothly, so Aunt Patti used her painting skills to touch them up to perfection!

Continuing around past the nook, we have the changing table and window. The built-in dresser is to the left behind the crib. The butterflies on the wall were made by myself and Grandma Pearl years ago. The mermaid wall hanging was made by one of my co-workers.

Here's the crib and the other tree. An assortment of Narnian animals, including Aslan, Jewel the Unicorn, Mr. Beaver, Fledge the winged horse and Eustace as a dragon watch over the crib. The quilt was made by my best friend Jamie, and is embroidered with lions, crowns and swords with "Princess Anya" on the reverse side.

When is Anya Arriving?

Guess now!
