I love reading blogs of friends and family and since Teri and I do have a lot of stuff going on in our lives these days we thought we'd give it a try. I figure I can fill tons of postings on preparing for Baby Vincent's arrival and other related things.

The last several months around our house have been crazy busy as we've simultaenoulsy prepared for the baby arrival and the shower. Some of our bigger projects included painting his room and furniture, getting new carpet and replacing the front patio railing. We are so lucky to have so many great friends and family that pitched in to help! By the time the shower date got here we had amazingly finished everything and were ready for the party!

Saturday was a wonderful night for Teri & I. My latest count has 63 guests attending, again we are so lucky to have everyone in our lives. By the end of the night the nursery was packed full of great baby stuff, all of it too cute for words! We also managed to raise a nice donation for the Operation Smile organization - thanks to everyone who participated!

I'm first, I'm first! Yeah. I'm so glad you are doing this. I wish I had been there for the shower. THANKS for the cool donation idea for Operation Smile.

I love you!

Well it looks like everyone had a great time and that Vincent got a lot of nice stuff. I wish I could have been there. I will see you three in June! I am glad that you started the blog, it is nice for the rest of us.
