We're having a...

...Zebra, with lots of stripes! Just kidding, that's what we were going to tell everyone and just keep the sex of the baby to ourselves. It's only been a couple hours since the ultrasound and I can't keep it secret any longer
It's a GIRL!! We've got ourselves a little Grace Merrill Rammell. Or as our doc says, 'We've managed to cook ourselves up a girl.' I'm so excited. I'm sure Justin will have something else to say about this later tonight, but I just had to share. A shopping I will go for some cute little pink things, FUN!

P.S. Turn up your sound and listen to our song :)

Random

Here are a few pics (and a movie) of IJ taken over this last week. Between work trips and househunting we have been light on adventure. We did try to have a BBQ out at a lake last night, but it didn't exactly work out ... dinner burned and Isaac would not stay away from the fire.

And, as you can see, IJ and I have some moves!

Mica Mine

We are having great weather out here, and hope you are too! We had to take advantage of the warm sun. Justin took the afternoon off of work and we hiked up Bang's Canyon to an old Mica mine. It was a short trail (2.5 miles) that followed a creek. Mica is used for all kinds of things, like toothpaste. It is like clear flexible plastic flakes growing out of the rock that shine like mirrors. The whole trail glittered! After such an exhausting hike we headed to Famous Dave's where IJ managed to eat more than his parents combined.

So Mischievous so soon?

This morning I was doing some ironing and Isaac was playing in our bedroom. Playing in Mom and Dads room usually means tearing all of my shoes off the shelves and wearing Daddy's belt around the house. It happened to be a little too quiet so I thought I'd go check on him. This is what I found.



I know, he's just playing with my makeup. What's the big deal? Well, after all my eye shadow ended up in a million pieces on the floor one day, I decided it probably wasn't the best toy for him. So, he knows he's not supposed to play with Mom's makeup. Sometimes he'll get it out of the cupboard, realize what he's done, and come give it to me. Not this time. He took it and hid behind the bed to play with it. Who knew this would start so early in life? I'm never mischievous, of course, so I'm claiming he learned this from his Dad.

What happens when we hit? That's right ... we go to the time out chair for two minutes.




Funny how much he used to love this chair before he was mobile. At least he has the empanada maker to keep him company!

We used to feel really guilty for putting him in there, but hey, it works. He no longer pushes books off shelves or bites (well, we are still working on biting, but he definitely bites less).

Jane Austin

We have been watching the complete Jane Austin on PBS these past Sunday nights and have really enjoyed it. Susan (Justin's mom) sent this link to me. I took the quiz and I think the result describes me pretty well. Take the quiz and post your result in our comments (unless of course you put it on your blog).

You are practical, circumspect, and discreet. Though you are tremendously sensible and allow your head to rule, you have a deep, emotional side that few people often see.
