Thanks to my personal event photographer (thanks, Amy!!), here's some photos from the shower.

So we're down to about 6 weeks to go until baby time. Now might be a good time to think about a name for baby-boy-LaValley: so far, nothing. We spent the evening browsing name lists online, and pretty much nothing has jumped out at us. We have a list of names we like, but none we love.

My shower was last weekend, and it was great, got a lot of fabulous gifts, lots of people came, good food, good cake, good times. I'll put some pictures on here eventually.
I've been not able to update this as much as I'd like lately; apparantly, if you don't update your virus protection for a year and half (like I did...well, didn't do...on my work computer) you'll mess up your computer and not be able to use the internet, or any other program on it.
So I can only update when I get my hands on the laptop, which isn't that often. Apparently Joe taking graduate courses is more important than me blogging. Who knew?

Random thoughts for today:

~ I was watching the headlines scroll across the bottom of the weather channel earlier, and it said "Americans celebrate the 6th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks".
Is celebrate really the right word? I'm thinking NO.

On to less political thoughts:

~ Speaking of weather channel, it's supposed to be in the 70's all week. I think fall is finally just about here, and I'm pretty happy about that.

~ Ten hour work days are getting kind of silly on my feet these days.

~ 32 weeks and counting. Are we sure that Davis girls never have babies early?

~ I failed my sugar test and barely passed the second round of it. So no more cake, candy, cookies for me. (Except baby shower cake, right??)

~ Baby shower #1 is this Sunday. Yay!

~ Wiffle ball weekend was last weekend. The guys did, uh, great....well, at least they had a lot of fun! (Hopefully Kyle's team did a little better than Joe's?)

And some photos of our trip up north: We spent Friday in Paradise, Michigan at Tahquamenon Falls, wandered around/shopped Saturday morning in Mackinaw City, then went to a wedding Saturday evening. It was gorgeous up there!

The bridge, by night. Fun to look at, not so much fun to drive over.
