The Due Date Wait . . . and Wait . . . and Wait
To pass the time while we wait for Harvey to decide it’s time to get the show on the road, Lindsey and I spent the weekend drywalling the garage ceiling and organizing for summer.
Everything we do now is a “could be the last ____” before Harvey arrives! We’ve had a great last supper with Mom, Dad, Katy, and Taylor at Copper Falls, and then enjoyed watching Michigan defeat Syracuse in the Final Four to advance to the National Championship game for men’s college basketball. This morning, after our last church as just a couple, we had a tasty last brunch with Peg and Dan at Patisserie Amie. Of course, it could be another week of “lasts.”
Looking ahead in non-baby news, tomorrow is the first day of Masters week – our favorite golf tournament of the year. We can never get enough of the lush green grass, limited commercial coverage, and Sunday afternoon back-nine shootout.
Have a wonderfully exciting week, and be sure to watch some golf!

Warm and Foggy Weekend
We went to our first PathFUNDER tonight with Christopher Walter and Christy. The theme of the event was “an evening in the woods,” and it was executed wonderfully. There were birch tree artifacts everywhere, and, with permission, Lindsey absconded with a centerpiece! It was great to see former teachers and other familiar faces.
Church was interesting this morning. The children’s message was about maintaining balance in life. And the sermon reiterated that notion, and gave us the following acronym as a means of checking our balance.
SWEEPP. Sleep. Work. Eating. Exercise. Play. Prayer. If we are conscious of maintaining balance within and among those areas in life, then we should be doing okay!
After lunch at the Town Plaza with Dan and Peg, we went up to their house to meet Christy and pick up the baby stroller. Here’s a pick of us learning how to push it!

Pot Pie and Cards
Lindsey made an excellent chicken pot pie, one of our favorite dishes lately. Dinner was followed by brownies, coffee, and a rousing game of Liverpool Rummy with our guest of honor, Grandma Rogers. We even arranged for Yogi to keep her feet warm!

Wings of Wow!
We zipped back out to Maple City this evening for the Cedar / Maple City Lions Club pizza dinner. The entertainment, if you will, was Rebecca Lessard of Wings of Wonder. She brought along a red-tailed hawk, a screech owl, and a great horned owl. They were incredible raptors, and it was fascinating to hear Rebecca talk about their nature and personalities. For example, the great horned owl has a stuffed pink pony that it keeps around, while it shreds other stuffed animals. It was a tremendous presentation.
Last weekend, we celebrated Grandma Lanham’s birthday by going to her house to eat her tasty food! Later in the afternoon, I went for my first ride on a snowmobile ever! That’s a long time ’round these parts. Cousin John took me back and forth through the farm fields on his handlebar-heated, super cushioned, speed machine. We were up to 60 miles per hour in no time.
The big focus this week is the baby shower this coming weekend. We’re hoping for some warmer weather, or at least some sun to shine through and melt our piles of snow. We want next winter to be Harvey’s first, not this one! In other baby news, I’m really enjoying our “Bun in the Oven” tea each night. It soothes me and quites the little guy.
Here’s a selection of some photos from our past week.
