It's beginning to look a lot like

...a baby is coming!

You may wonder why start this post with a picture of Jack? Well, just keep reading. It seemed only fitting to let the world see our first "baby" and the teacher of many of our parenting lessons on patience and the art of laughing at, I mean with, your children.

We can hardly believe it but in just 9 short weeks, baby Sebastian will be here. With one minor kink, we have finally gotten the walls painted! Donald attempted something that even a well-practiced mother may be intimidated by: he painted the room while in charge of a 2-year old and a golden retriever. Now, let me just say over our 5+ years of marriage, he has become an excellent painter. But even Picasso may have had trouble balancing our two "little ones" and a paintbrush. Anyone who knows our dog Jack knows that he is a 90 lb. baby. If he could crawl in your lap, he would. He is always one step behind and apparently this is even true when you're on a ladder. Donald took a step down and there was Jack and the paint tray! Blue paint on the carpet and the newly painted crib. Thanks to Jack, Sebastian's carpet already has its first stain so it's all ready for spit up!
