Hellos and Goodbyes

Happily and sadly, with many smiles and tears, we said "Auf Weidersein" to Jenny and Greg this month as they begin their adventure living in Munich Germany for the next few years. I'm excited that they will have this experience (and we will get to visit them soon!) but sad that they will be so far away and not able to visit when our baby girl is born. We celebrated together at Dawn and Chris's with one last dinner to wish them well and had fun telling stories and taking goofy pictures. We will "see them again soon" via skype, so this is not truly goodbye!

The girls rub my belly for luck.

The boys imagine life without each other.

On the "hello" side...We have been welcoming my parents more often to our new house in Adamstown. They keep reminding us that it is SO FAR away (a little under an hour) but I think they will soon come around to the fact that we made a great decision to move to Frederick County and we would never have found our dream home (or afforded it) in Montgomery County. They seem to be very impressed with what we have done with the house so far (and I promise to post before and after photos soon), but I think they are most proud of becoming grandparents...and I can't blame them!

It's a Girl!

So I suppose it's time to break our online silence. We are expecting our first baby in January 2011 and yesterday we had our big ultrasound! Baby Tippets was very hyper, but they seemed pretty confident that the baby is a girl. We will know for sure in a month because I have to go back for the images that she wouldn’t pose for.

I guess it's my fault...I made the mistake of having a chocolate croissant for breakfast, so apparently the baby responds to chocolate the same way I do! I've never had anything very sweet in the morning before. The technician also said that she only got one picture of the defining area because the baby only opened her legs once. She made a joke that Dad will be happy to have a modest little girl. However, that is not enough to stop Jon from wanting a shotgun. Watch out boys! =)
