I found out today that Annette and Stephen are expecting their second child November 1st! Congratulations to them! All of these babies popping up around me is giving me serious baby fever! Of course I've had it for months already but these two new pregnancy announcements are throwing me right over the edge. I mean, come on, how could you not want another one of those?!? (looking to right at Annika's picture) She is so cute and precious and would make such a terrific big sister. Of course, Kris and I can't even think about more babies until the bone marrow donor situation is resolved. Patience, grasshopper, patience.

This morning Annika ate her first bowl of cereal like a big girl. She ate two small bowls without spilling anything! Of course, on her third small bowl, she decided she was done eating and dumped the entire contents on to her high chair tray. Then she put the bowl on her head upside-down. After Kris took the bowl away, she ate some of the cheerios off her tray before declaring she was officially done. This was accomplished by her shouting "Out!"

It's another beautiful day here. I think we may take a walk outside at lunch time. Working from home on Wednesdays is absolutely wonderful. I've gotten a bunch of work done today and I've had tons of snuggles already! Life just could not be better than it is today.
