38.5 Week Update

Okay, so no one ever committed to updating this blog every week.  We’re not machines.  In fact, we are very much human and have be working our human tails off preparing for our first baby girl!  (Note: That link will change once we actually have some photos of her in real life.)

We’ve been busy geting her a fun new rocking chair (thanks Judee & Madison) & bookshelf for Lynnea!

Kid #1 Furniture in Nursery

Hello Everyone.  Joy and I were finally able to pick up some baby furniture (crib and dresser) for the little one this past weekend and get the nursery setup.

Since things have been crazy busy with Bradley classes and a huge curriculum of baby books to read, I thought I’d paste some photos of her bedroom for all of you to see.

Special thanks goes out to Jon for his noble effort helping me unload the dresser last minute!  He’s a rockstar and so is his new wife, Chrystal.

Ugly Christmas Sweaters!

So, we fully intended on wearing these sweaters out to a few good Christmas parties this year, but with Seattle’s “Arctic Blast 2008” we’ve been snowbound watching old 80’s flicks on our Media Center and putting together old scrapbooks from Semester at Sea (one day I’ll have to publish my old site from the trip).  Enjoy!

Snow Angels – Seattle Arctic Blast 2008

So, it’s been a little crazy here at the Hutton house!  Joy’s been sick this week, then with the snow storm we both got a little stranded here in Redmond.

Wednesday: We’re stoked for snow … but where is it?!

Thursday: There sure was a lot of  snow last night!  (See snow angel video below.)

Friday: More snow?!  Ugh.

Saturday: We gotta get outta here!  There’s gonna be another storm tonight.

As you can see, with about a foot of snow, we got hit pretty hard. Now that the two of us have gotten a little bit of cabin fever during “Arctic Blast 2008″ we decided to make a break for it outside and make some fantastic snow angels!

I of course had to grab the new camera to capture it.  Note my blood curdling scream.  It is, in fact real. :)

Snow Day

What happened to the snow!? I rushed home from my impromptu dentist appointment (don’t ask) to beat the storm and, low-and-behold, what hit my windshield? Rain. dust-like sprinkles at first and then, as sure as day, rain drops. Big, gross, dreary, normal rain drops.

Jeremy and I are taking a snow day. It’s work from home to stave away the certain death that comes when we try to navigate Edmund (trusty but skittish Corolla) up Education Hill in even one inch of pure white, flaky heaven. We had certain plans to romp and play (during regularly spaced, state-mandated work breaks of course)–even build a snowman! But here we are, typing away on our prospective laptops (teeth intact), and I swear the very last modicum of snow from two days ago is about to slip into oblivion with the rising heat.

The only good I see in the midst of it all is that our gingerbread house did indeed receive the healthy blizzard it was expecting.
