Gotta Love Calvin!

Taco Night at Casa de Nutz and Crackerz

On Saturday, March 24, we had a taco night for our good friend Larry (who will be going on a short deployment).

It was a small taco night (~28 people) compared to others...but a good time. As soon as I get the pictures downloaded from the camera, I'll share them with you. Until then...here are a couple.

Chris, Crackerz and Nutz
Larry and MJ
(They're both from exit 8A in NJ.)

Doctor's Appointment

I've hit the point where I'm going to the doctor every two weeks. Today was one of those visits.

So far, I've gained 21 pounds...according to Dr. Groves, "You're right on track". Crazy Crumbs has already turned and is in the head-down position. I had no idea babies turned this soon...okay, it's not that soon...10 weeks to go. :-o Both CC and I are doing well...I do have serious heartburn so food doesn't really appeal to me right now. However, I am eating...just trying to stay away from the spicy foods. How does raisin bran sound? :-)

More next time...

St. Patrick's Day

Some friends had a St. Patty's Day party on Saturday...of course, Nutz and I couldn't miss it.

To see all of the pictures go to my photo album.

Work in Progress...

Nutz has been busy working around the house. It started with painting Crazy Crumbs' room, tiling the guest bathroom, and now painting the guest bathroom. It's only taken us 4 years, but we've almost got all of the rooms in the house the way we want them. :-)

Here are some pics...

Nutz says we'll start potty training Crazy Crumbs immediately after her birth...NOTE: toilet in her room.

Can you identify the babies?

Here are two baby pictures...Nutz and Crackerz. Can you tell which one is Nutz? Crackerz?

Congratulations!

Congrats Chris, Amanda and Katie on your newest addition, Sean!

New Picture...28 Weeks, 6 Days

Yes, I've been a real slacker. Here's a picture taken Friday night before we headed out to dinner.

Academy for Parents

This is hilarious! Thanks, Nutz.

Nesting...Men?

I've heard that women start nesting when their pregnant...but men? We recently tiled our master bathroom and it looks great! Well last night, Nutz decided it would be a good time to start our guest bathroom. Mind you, I'm very appreciative. However, this is where I've been showering for the past month. The shower is much bigger and gives me more room to shave my legs and something to hold on to so I don't fall during the process. It will be interesting to see how I do in the small shower until he's finished.

Let's hope that he finishes this bathroom faster than the last. We both got the nasty flu last time and went without a toilet in our room for over a week. Needless to say, it wasn't fun! :-)

Thanks, Nutz for getting this project done. I have several more when you're finished. :-) I love you!!

Gotta love this little girl!

This will be Crazy Crumbs!

Important Poems -- NOT Baby Related

Thanks, MB...very funny!

WOMAN'S POEM
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong.
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks.
I pray he's gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind, Knows what to answer to
"how big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me to no end, And always be my very best
friend.



MAN'S POEM
I pray for a drop dead gorgeous
deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs
who owns a Bar on a golf course,
and loves to send me fishing and hunting.
This doesn't rhyme
and I don't give a shit.

It's getting close!

I guess this whole baby thing is for real...we're signed up to take some classes. The first class we'll take is a six-week course, "Prepared Childbirth." I hope they don't make me watch "the movie." I'll be sick. The second class is one night and it's "So You're Going to be a Dad." It's for dads-to-be but they invite mom to attend. Should be interesting. For those of you who know Nutz, the classes can only be filled with lots of entertainment.

If interested, Crazy Crumbs will be born (if all goes well) at Sentara Leigh and they have a really cool virtual tour. You'll need to use Internet Explorer in order for it to work (at least I did). If Nutz has his way, he'll be tailgating in the parking lot. I can see it now. :-)

Crazy Crumbs Nursery

Several people have asked me what colors we're putting in Crazy Crumbs' room. Here's a picture of the bedding that we'll be using (this was taken off the website and is not a picture of her room) and the cool ceiling fan and lamp. We've painted the walls a pretty light green (almost lime) and hung white sheer curtains. I'll take some pictures and post them for all to see.

Talk about literal translation....

Thanks, Marybeth. I needed a good chuckle this evening.

Circumcised
(this is priceless!)

A teacher noticed that a little boy at the back of the class was squirming around, scratching his crotch, and not paying attention. She went back to find out what was going on. He was quite embarrassed and whispered that he had just recently been circumcised and he was quite itchy.
The teacher told him to go down to the principal's office. He was to telephone his mother and ask her what he should do about it. He did it and returned to his class. Suddenly, there was a commotion at the back of the room. She went back to investigate only to find him sitting at his desk with his penis hanging out. "I thought I told you to call your mom!" she said. "I did," he said, "And she told me that if I could stick it out till noon, she'd come and pick me up from school."

Mystery friend...

As my pretty wife snoozes on the couch, finally, after a very long day! The crazy lady got up at 230am and stayed awake until just after dinner 8PM. Anyhow we have been chatting the past few days and Crackerz loves chatting about her friends, of which she has many. She also thinks that I know them all, have been introduced to them all and know all about them.
To make a long story short, she and I am at a loss as to the "Amy" that is a regular here on the blog. Amy in my opinion is a popular friend name for Crackerz. When I scroll through her cell phone and ask her who some of the people listed are, she says, "you met her or him back when I was really hammered, she held my hair back when I was yacking or hooked me up with some really hot guy!" That is Crackerz for ya!! So Amy, tell me a great story about Crackerz, I am sure our daughter will get a chuckle over it when she is old enough!

Congratulations!

Congratulations Sarah, Dave and Ben on your new arrival, Elena!
