First Post: A Test of My Skills

Greetings,
This is our first attempt at posting to this blog. We will probably be using this website to show pictures once Ender arrives. Before you ask, no, the kid will not be named Ender. After much badgering, I did convince Ashley that Ender could be the kid's womb-name; once born, the name will never again be spoken.

As a test, here are some pictures. First, the finished nursery. The two pictures probably aren't the greatest...I'm certainly no photog. However, you should be able to see Ender's crib, his dresser, a nice comfy chair, and if you look closely, you should be able to see a pretty nifty closet organization scheme. Now, if I were to ask you what the most expensive thing in the picture was, what would you say? Men would probably say the furniture...sadly, not true. It amazes me how much curtains cost...

The other pictures are of our kitchen that is being remodelled. Yes, it will be done for Ender's arrival. In fact, today we now have running water, a working stove, and a dishwasher (other than the two of us). We are awaiting on a support piece for the island (you can see it's the unfinished piece close to the fridge.).

Finally, I included pictures of a pregnant Ashley, Auburn, and Dudley because 1) I know how much pregnant women like to be photographed, and 2) what post isn't complete without a picture of a dog! Don't let the one-eyed pug frighten you. You can sort of see Ashley's belly, but she's very adept at avoiding profile pictures. She's standing in our sun room, which had served as the staging area for the kitchen remodel.


For those that don't know, Ender's due date is 29 November 2007. We can only hope he's not early, and heaven forbid, Ashley go into labor during the Auburn/Alabama football game! More to come as Ender's arrival approaches!
