Casa de Baby Shields...

It was a pretty crazy day around our house today. We got alot accomplished in the baby's room, and around the house in general. Here's a picture I took of the baby's room today. Not very exciting, but it will be much more complete within the next two weeks. Next week we get the new carpet (baby's room) and duct cleaning (whole house), after that I'll be able to put all the furniture in the baby's room, which will include putting the crib together. That ought to be a fun time... I've heard a few war stories from other Dad's about putting those things together. Well anyways, until the next baby's room update...

Disclaimer: I have no idea if this blog title is "proper" spanish, I never took that class. oh well.

Work in Progress...

So I haven't posted a blog in almost a month now, and I'm sorry to say there won't be a picture posted with this entry either. Lauri, Baby, and I have been pretty busy over the last month. That's what the picture I was going to post would have shown. We've moved into our new house and we're working on settling in now.

Let me tell you, moving is for the professionals... That will be the last time I try to move all of our belongings without hiring a moving company. We owe a HUGE thank you to our family and friends for helping us with the process (Mom and Dad Shields, Mom and Dad Zabor, Jess and Tony, Lindsey and Ryan, Matt and Chrissy, Meghan, and Jim). Especially Matt, for letting us use his trailer and doing so much work with us. If anyone out there needs an irrigation system for their house, get a hold of Matt at Michigan Irrigation , they do good work.

Lauri and the Baby will be taking it easy from now on while I do all the hard work. We had an unexpected trip to the hospital on Saturday night (which is why I didn't have time to get a picture posted yet), thankfully everything checked out ok with both Lauri and the Baby. On the bright side, we did get to take another look at the baby via ultrasound, and wow has it grown (the last time we saw an ultrasound was on Haloween)! We've also done a test run to the hospital for when the baby is ready, hopefully there won't be any police officers out on that night either :) ... Oh and sorry to all my family that was over on Saturday night for both the scare and having to cut the party short... We'll have to do it again some time.

So maybe later today I'll be able to get some pictures posted. I have a shot my Dad took of Lauri and I finally relaxing in our new house after a long move, and one of my brother's dog - Rocky - from when the two of them came over last week to help me with a few things and check out the new house.

Big Day - Part 2

Here's part two of my previous post, finally. I've been taking some heat from a few unnamed sources on how I haven't gotten the pictures of the house on the blog yet. So here they are. It needs a good bit of T.L.C. throughout, but what house wouldn't. That's the "fun" part of owning a house, making it your own, or so I've heard.

Oh yeah, and this was my birthday present from Lauri, we found out our offer was accepted on my birthday. Thanks Lauri!
