The results are in...

This week we had our anatomy scan to check out the twins and make sure everything is looking like it should. Perhaps most exciting, we got to find out the sexes. We are very happy to announce that Amber is cooking up a brother and sister set! Yup one boy and one girl.

We got their first Angels baseball shirts the other day after we found out. We're super excited to introduce them to you all in a few months. They both have their names already, but their names are hush hush top secret until their debut.

In-State Tourists

Friday, August 15, 2008

In between Summer school, faculty conference, and Amber's 3rd wedding of the summer we needed to escape down to San Diego for a few days. We visited our animal friends down at the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld. We explored the lighthouse on Point Loma and the Cabrillo National monument. Next we saw a Padres vs. Brewers game at Petco Park. This is a great, new ballpark built right in the center of downtown San Diego. You should catch a game there if you haven't already. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

An Unlikely Hero

A couple weeks back, I decided to indulge my inner rock star with a purchase of Guitar Hero 3. Little did I know that another in our home would take to the guitar hero like Michael Phelps and water. Amber has officially become the guitar hero enthusiast.

She recently got her own guitar for her Birthday.

OK... so if you haven't played, you need to play the correct combination of "strings" or "chords" by holding down the corresponding colored buttons and then strumming on the strum bar as the timing is right. Amber is currently honing her rock skills to compete in the 2012 Olympics in London.

The Photo Shoot

Wednesday, August 6, 2008

So today we went in for a 15 week check -up and got a couple good pics of the twins. Hopefully you can see the little ones (I've added a few labels to help). We should find out what's cookin' in there at the end of the month.

Unexpected Nostalgia

Yesterday we received an unexpected package from my Aunt Sue. She shipped us off a humorous book for the babies. The special part is that its the exact book my mom sent her nearly 30 years ago when she was pregnant with my cousin Dave. Since she reads our blog, we'll say thanks on here... Thanks Aunt Sue!
