This year we celebrated my dad's birthday by going to a Badger's Game in Madison, WI. Paul and Angie's family came from VA and Greg and Dawn's family came up from IL and Pete and I joined in the fun. The weather was great...

The weekend before Alyssa's birthday we had a surprise party for her at Hacienda...I truely think she was surprise. Lots of fun was had by all, many friends and family joined us to make it a night of many laughs and good times...

Alyssa surprised that it isn't just dinner with Pete and I

Some of the many friends and familyTate stealing a chip from someoneAlyssa with AaronThe big hat while the wait staff sang to AlyssaLevi having fun with his cars and anyone who would play with him

Well lots to catch up from the past couple of weeks...

and why do I have time to do this on a Monday morning at 8:15 ...well we don't have school due to all the flooding from the 1o inches of rain that the area received in the past couple of days.

Our last drs. appointment we had an in-depth ultrasound. Everything looked good and measured right about where the baby is suppose to be except length...length measured about 3-4 weeks ahead of where the baby is. The doctor said you might just have a long baby, only time will tell. Heartbeat was at 156. Normal but on the fast end. Here are a few pictures from the ultrasound...

Baby facing down, body on left with backbone at the top of the picture, head on the right.

Baby profile, top of the head on the left, nose and mouth sticking up with a hand just under the chin

You can see the whole body, head with a face (that looks a little ghost like) but eyes, nose, mouth, arms and legs

Since I didn't have my cord to download pictures yesterday...I wanted to send one more birthday greeting!!!

Happy th Birthday

plus

Happy Birthday Dad/Grandpa to Be (again)!!!
