Visit from Aunt Marla

well things have been pretty quiet up here. just truckn along from day to day. baby dj is growing and moving like crazy. every evening dave n i sit on the couch and at about 8:30 baby puts on a show. he moves from side to side and kicks. we have four weeks to go and counting.

bday ~ we did a small get together for my bday in sept and went to outback for a little appitzer dinner. the cheese fries are even better when your pregers!

a. marla's visit ~ we owe her a big thank u! we have been with only one car since i moved up here. dave's has been in h'ville since he entered the military and he really hasn't had a need for it with it just being himself. but with the addition of me and soon to be baby dj and the move out to annapolis one car has been a strain. so, a. marla decided to make a trip of it and drove dave's car (w/o ac) from austin through oklahoma (for a little of her own visiting) and on to annapolis. and now we have the luxury of two vehicles and i will never take it for granted again!!! a. marla actually arrived a day early so we went for a nice dinner at a restuarant on the water and she was able to relax with a little maryland crab and some wine! the next two days we spent doin some shopping and just relaxing. dave served as a tour guide over the weekend since i was working. they went to bathesda and saw the national navy medical center (or something like that), the barracks where dave works, and the naval academy here in annapolis. monday we went to the national sailboat show that was being held here over the weekend. we got to walk on and through some of the nicest sailboats. and let me tell u, it realy is like a house on water. although, i dont think i could actually live on one.

dave n i on a catamaran (sp?) at the boat show. this was dave's favorite boat. they had port holes in the bedrooms, which meant u could see the water and all the fishes below!

a. marla served as a great tour guide and new all the ins and outs about the different boats

we got to take a tour of this 75ft charter boat. it was crazy huge!

we stayed to watch all the boats pull out. it was pretty cool to see how they all were able to manouver around each other to get out. way in the back u can see the big scooner with its sails up, he led the parade of boats out.

all in all we had a great visit!

last but not least ~ as usual we have to give every1 an update on bronco! he is now 8months and just an overgrown puppy. he loves his outside time, but the doggy beach is now closed. so we have to find other ways to wear him out. this past weekend he was reunited with his toy from when i first got him. i accidently left it in austin and of course a. marla brought it with her so he was once again in doggy heaven!

and this would mr. moose!
