Ultrasound Photos

Ok...so I'm not very good with seeing what there.
Here are the only ones I get out of the many.
Everything looks fine and we are still on for October 30 due date.
Here's her little arm & fingers
Well, it's labeled, but cool leg and foot shot
Her profile, and little hand
This is what I call, "the bad choice of sitting on the copier at the office Christmas party sans underwear angle".
Shows we have a female...tech says so.

Huge Announcement!

We're having...
a GIRL!!
(Her first tailgate outfit from my mom & dad)
We went this morning and invaded her space.
Still on for the due date of October 30!
Steve is excited, but sweating...another set of big brown eyes.
He's so in trouble!

Leaving Hunting Island

We were greeted with a spectacular storm
just before we crossed over the drawbridge.
So we, of course, stopped for a while and watched
Fabulous lightning displays in distance

Favorite view of Steve and Louie walking together

A little further south from Charleston is Hunting Island State Park.
We drove over for the day, loved it.

Working...

Steve doing the wrap up interview with Zona for the show. Had just
taken trophy out of box to check it out.

Packing Up

Good thing we don't count on Lou. Getting ready to head to
coast...pack, stuff, tie down our junk. And this is why we call him
"snuggle bug".

Louie...Louie?

Last night on way back Louie was muffled barking in backseat...thought
throwing fit under seat like he does. Turns out he got his head stuck
in box!! Curiosity made the Jack look stupid. Pretty funny...

Day Four, Lake Murray

Not to get all Dickens, but great and horrible day today.
Biggest of highs and lows.
Chris Bath(right) was at blast off, like so many other times this morning...
He helped parking the trailers, and various other behind the scenes jobs.
The jobs that make everything run smoothly.
He was a always there with a smile.
He had a heart attack, and died shortly after take off was over.
Very blessed we had the opportunity to know him.
The show must go on...but we'll miss ya.

Very cool photo that was on BassZone.com...so I had to borrow it.

As you can see, it was a little wavy!

Another borrowed photo, Bassmaster.com
