And to bring you to now. Here we are at Easter this year. We had just finished a great meal at Pereni's with my mom. Dad had to work:(
Well maybe I will get better at the blog thing. I had attempted several times in the past to update but blogger never works for me. I'll try doing a better job. I realize just a picture or two is all that is needed. Happy Spring!
Then there is a cow hide rug on the floor. Purchased in Abilene but I was told came from an Italian cow!!
A shot of the wall with the window. Not a great pic due to the sun coming in. Nancy Jones, a friend and co-worker made the 4 canvases on the left with his name. And the rocker that we had recovered was given to us by my sister-in-law, Carrie. There is a cute fish frame above the rocker that I have great plans to put a baby pic of Matt, me and then Ryan. We shall see if that ever gets done!
The changing table/hutch. 
The wall with the closet.
A close up of the canvas that my friend Amanda made of his first pictures. I love it. Matt is not a huge fan because I think it weirds him out a little that my sonogram pictures are up for the world to see. I assure him that these will only be out while he is a baby. 
The best sister ever! Thank you for everything!
Melissa Brown and her sweet boys, Zane and Vander, came from Dallas. Thank you for coming and helping unload everything at my house. You are the greatest. I guess we will have to wait until next year to go chill at Hawaiian Falls!
Me with Dave and Julia Galloway's sweet baby girls, Ellie and Gracelyn. Watch out Ryan!!!
Easter morning. 24 weeks. 
We are getting very excited and are eagerly waiting Ryan's arrival this July! I am working on paint color for the nursery and am hoping to have it done soon. I will definitely post pics once it is finished. 
Baby at about 9 or so weeks.
Now we don't get to see the baby until March 16th when we find out the sex. However, yesterday we listened to the heartbeat and it was in the upper 147-151 range. Such a beautiful noise! I think I may have felt the baby move the other night but who really knows at this stage. Thank you to all have who have prayed for Matt and I and this sweet baby. Continue to pray that all goes well. Look for a post on March 16th to find out what we are having!!
The first evening we rode the trolley down to Fisherman's Wharf. Here we are being the typical tourists taking our picture with the pirate statues. 
The traditional Trolley picture. That was a neat experience riding on the trolley and smelling the burning wood from the brakes. I was also way impressed with how they manually turn the trolleys around on this wheel thing in the ground. Definitely a much see when in San Fran.
Matt and I went to a superb restaurant called Scoma's and had some delicious crab cakes and fish. After dinner we walked around the wharf some more and then saw the Ghiradelli sign and could not resist taking a bite out of it!! Yummy.
Race day was very chilly! Note: I still have my long sleeve. Usually I never run in long sleeves, but I was cold. At the end of the race you are given a Tiffany necklace handed to you by a fireman in a tuxedo. A great way to end a race! Here are me and Kristin. Sisters and best friends. I am so glad we got to experience this together.
A good group shot of everyone on the trip. Matt, me, Kristin, Mom, and sweet Sydney. She was amazing the whole weekend and I am for sure loved by her! 
And of course, my biggest fan!! I love him so much! He probably completed at least a half marathon while supporting us! Thanks!!!!
After the Marathon we drove to Sausalito to have lunch. My uncle went to seminary here and it was beautiful. 
Then on to Napa to tour the wineries. We went to Roche Winery, a small winery that only sells there wine from there. It was neat getting to taste different flavors. 
Matt on the wake board. He looks pretty cool!!
Me on the skis. I love being on the water!
Cary on the wake board. He is a pro!
Here are my sister and I with our cute hubbies!!!
And yes, Matt got to do some bay fishing. Fishing is what makes him super relaxed and super happy. Next to spend time with me of course! He caught this triple tail bass. It is very rare to catch this fish in the bay so it was a neat catch. 
We took it home and cooked it along with some other fish he caught and surprisingly it was very good! 
This has been a long time coming. Our fourth of July was great! Our best friends from Dallas, Jeff and Lisa, came in town for the weekend. Also my sister, Jason, and Sydney were in town. And to top off the fun, the Kilmers stayed in town for the celebration. It was so good to be with the people I love!
