The big 3-0!

First of all, welcome to any new visitors that are probably here because you got our "we've moved" photocard in the mail. We'd love to hear how you're doing, look at our profile to get our email address and send us an update :).

I usually let Brian take the reigns on posting to the blog, but as you may or may not know, this Thursday is his 30th birthday! Boy he's getting old :), I'm sure he'd love to hear all about how ancient he's getting this week so send him a note to rub it in!

As far as updates on our house, we're settling in pretty nicely. We have a lot of our things unpacked, and this week we have painters in to get rid of the bright white walls and replace them with some "crisp khaki" throughout the common areas. We had them paint the nursery too, it's a blue, we'll post pictures on our picasa as soon as we have everything back together. Keep checking back for updates, we have a doctor and ultrasound appointment this week, so we'll post and let everyone know how little Zach is doing! At the rate he's kicking we might have the next David Beckham on our hands!

Finally registered...

We went out last weekend and did the baby registry thing at Target and Babies R Us. Thankfully Christine had put together a nice list of things that we need/want, so it was only a slightly daunting task. It's still a little unreal shopping for this stuff for ourselves and not as a gift!

Here are links to our registries -

Other than that we've just been unpacking and trying to get things settled in the house. We'll have some painters coming in next week to do some work for us during my week off in between jobs. Once that's done we can start hanging things on the wall and getting all that stuff back where it belongs.

More news

The unpacking is progressing this week. The first ceiling fan has gone up, hopefully a couple more will be done over the weekend. And after a bunch of hassle, we have our phone and internet service back on after the original guys that came out last week weren't able to finish the job.

Also, I have now given notice to Honeywell that I will be leaving effective June 13th. I'll be able to take a week off to get a lot of stuff done at the house, then will be starting work with Marathon Data Systems working on their PestPac software on the 23rd. I'll be able to work from home, which will be nice after commuting at least 70 each work day for the last 7+ years. And it opens our options up a little for child care when Christine goes back to work at the beginning of next year.

Baby on the way, new house, new job... what else can we change? :)

Whew...

After a busy weekend of moving we are in the new house! There are still a couple of odds and ends of things that are left and the pool table won't be moved until this weekend, but everything else got done. Thankfully we had a lot of help from friends and on Saturday and Christine's dad came in to help Friday and Saturday. We couldn't have gotten it all done without them! Now the fun begins with all the unpacking, putting up ceiling fans, etc.

Now that we've officially moved now we can start getting things ready for the baby. We've hardly done any shopping and haven't registered anywhere yet. We're going to have to start doing that this weekend.
