Garlock Family Party

Lots of puzzles, snow, family and food!

The igloo we built in Grandmas yard - the roof was finished on Christmas Day.

13 Week Ultrasound

Just thought we'd share some pics with you of our little baby. I had an ultrasound for some routine genetic screening they recommend between 10 and 13 weeks. However, once we were in there, i was measuring over 14 weeks, which i guess is out side of the "testing" range. But, regardless, it was awesome to see my little womb dweller. We saw a lot of the profile and other views, but for some reasons, these are the only pictures we made out with. The top one is a back view with her/his left arm bent over it's head. The lower is of a bum and leg shot. I have a few more of the gender area, but we'll leave those for later when there's no, or at least a lot less, percentage of mistake.

An Update... finally

So, it's been over a month and in between the nausea, remodel of our basement, Halloween, and now Thanksgiving, I couldn't find a minute to sit and post. Today's the day, I guess. So, here are some pictures to share of the kids Halloween.. kind of funny to post these over a month late :)

Vampire Vixen

Professional Ninja - minus his swords

I suppose I should comment on the much anticipated release of Twilight. Did I like it? No... Did I like it the second time? Much better (i know, i saw it twice already:) I don't know if it was the 230am delirium, or the fact that my expectations were through the roof, but for someone who usually can find enjoyment in any movie... my first viewing was rough. I actually laughed almost the whole way through it at the ridiculous facial expressions by "Edward" and, the whole meadow scene... don't get me started. Anyway, Amy and I decided to give it a second chance after everyone else we talked to either liked or loved it. I must say, it was much better the second time when my expectations were through the ground :) A big thanks to the girls that lost sleep along with me, all for the love of Twilight.

Oh Yes!

EXPECTING!!

So, you're supposed to post the test picture, right?
We are SO excited to announce that we are expecting...FINALLY! I made this t-shirt to break the news to John...after about two hours of dinner and video games, he finally noticed what my shirt said! He was so excited...It's been over a week since we've found out and it's still feeling a little surreal! I've never been so excited to gain some pounds!!

Camping Trips with Dad

Each of the kids got to go one on one with Dad on an overnight campout. Here are some pictures from both weekends:

Notice in one of the pictures there is a tree that resembles an elephant. The kids have since named that campsite: Elephant Grylls - partly for the tree, and partly in thanks to the great Bear Grylls.
