Baby making himself known

DEC. 4, 2004
Here I am at 27 1/2 weeks along. According to our ultrasound from a couple of weeks ago, he has a strong heartbeat, is 14 inches long, about 2 lbs., and growing. Can you believe how big we've both gotten? I'm smiling here because BBLung was bumping around so much he was tickling me. For several months BBLung has been residing in the breech position in the right side of my belly. Let's just hope he flips over in time. Set your clocks - we're in the last trimester : )

End of an Era

"End of an Era" - those are Ric's words not mine. We'll see how long that lasts, but why not leave on a high note. (L) Here he is jumping a fallen tree during an October Michigan Cyclocross Race.
This photo has even made onto www.velonews.com!!! I'm living with a celebrity : ) (R) In a gesture of "retirement" Ric is in the kitchen with his head hanging low, disassembling one of his 4 or 5 bikes; I lost count. I believe he's picked up trail running to burn off that excess energy...

The #1 Reason Why Ric Will Never Return to Chicago...

NOV. 26, 2006 - Their Welcoming Committee apparently got carried away! YIKES!!! Luckily we didn't have anything in the car they cared to actually steal. I guess the thieves didn't have enough to be thankful for this year that they had to break into our car to find something to appreciate. Aren't we the lucky ones? We hope you all had a SAFE & Happy Thanksgiving.
