The Baby Shower

The baby shower was held at Skyland Pines and turned out great! Thanks to everyone for all your support and great baby gifts. I also want to give a big thanks to Christie's mom (Grandma Marcia) and my mom (Mo Mo) for all their hard work in putting the shower together.

I showed up at the end to help with the presents (that's how I do it :) and found myself in a state of shock as I realized it would take multiple vehicles to get all the presents home. WOW! -- We are so lucky to have so many great friends and family -- and what a huge positive impact this will have as we begin our life long journey as parents. I just can't thank EVERYONE enough for being a part of this amazing experience with us!

Special thanks to Susie Linquist, Jane McHenry, and Grandma Marcia for providing the pictures.

7 More Weeks!

Life has been busy at the Linquist household. We have been working hard on finishing up our year long remodeling project in our basement as well as getting other things in order before our little one arrives. Our calendars have begun to read more like long novels then short to do lists. The nursery furniture is getting delivered on Thursday and soon we will have the baby's room ready to go! With only 7 more weeks to go (and possibly less), things have gotten pretty hectic around here -- but Christie is doing great! and we are getting more and more anxious as the days go by. She's almost here!

Baby Pool Update

Good luck to everyone who has bought squares in the online baby pool. The pool is already up to $134 -- with more money likely to be added during these last few weeks!

If you haven't already bought your squares, time is running out. . . . only 7 more weeks are left until the projected due date. There is still time to get in on the action, just go to http://linquist.babypool.com and make your picks before it's too late!
