Lots of fun stuff coming up soon. Next weekend we might be getting a visit from the Abraham grandparents, the following weekend I will be in London for 3 days training the Euro Trek people all about Project One, two weeks later Mom will be visiting from AZ, the weekend after that Heather is flying home to MI, etc. Before you know it, summer will be here. Which would be welcome right now with the temps we are currently experiencing...

Ramblings
Life continues on here in the Abraham household. Little Annie B is now almost 6 weeks old...crazy! She's starting to sleep pretty well at night, only getting up once or twice. I'm sure Heather appreciates that. :)

Another New Arrival
It hardly seems like it's already been two weeks since lil Annie B came into our lives. She's doing great...starting to sleep a bit longer in between feedings, which I'm sure Heather appreciates. We've had plenty of visitors already...a couple sets of grandparents, Auntie Alane, and of course Auntie Tonia. Heather posted some new pics up on her blog.
I got a new toy as well last week. They're projecting another record year of snowfall here in WI, and I was getting really sick of shoveling. So after our first big snowstorm, I went and bought myself a new snowblower.
It's pretty small compared to the old Ariens that I remember growing up with at home, but I am impressed with its throwing power. It has a really good power-to-weight ratio, and it greatly reduces my driveway clearing time. :)

Visits
Our visit to MI last weekend was fun. Had a big Tday meal at the Josef family farm and got lots of goodies at the baby shower. We even had some nice snow coming back home...it wasn't nearly as bad as last year though, just some delays going through Chicago.
This past week has been busy at work and home. The house is starting to come together...continuing the prep work for LBA (little baby Abraham). We brought in reinforcements for this week, as Tonia is paying us a visit from AZ. I picked her up at the airport yesterday, and she is here until next Friday. We already put her to work. :)
Here are some pics that Auntie Alane took a few weeks ago while she was here:

Birthing Class and Swollen Doggie
We had a fun, short visit with Auntie Alane last weekend. She helped us put plastic on our windows and came to watch my hockey game. During the week Heather and I worked on the baby room. Finally finished moving the office downstairs into the sunroom.
On Saturday we went to an all-day birthing class at the hospital. It was very informative and nice to work on all the breathing techniques, etc. It was crazy, but we were easily the oldest couple in there...it looked like half of them were still in HS. Insane.
On Sunday I skipped the last cross race of the season. I had been neglecting my riding since it got cold, and I wasn't in the mood to bust out the bike again. So I called it a season. I see that I still finished up 3rd in the Cat 3 standings despite missing the last two races though, so that's pretty cool. :)
We are going to the Josef house in MI for a combo T-Day celebration and baby shower this weekend. Should be fun, we just have to hope for nice driving weather on the way there and back...unlike last year!
We had a bit of a scare from Vontoux tonight. This morning he had to get his distemper shot since we are kenneling Willa and Vontoux during our trip to MI. He was fine all day, but around 9pm he started vomiting and his face started swelling up. His right eyelid was so swollen he could barely see, and his lips were all huge and hard. Vet-tech Heather gave him some Benadryl and iced his face down. He appears to be doing better now, so hopefully he's back to normal in the morning.
I'll leave you with a picture of cute pregnant Heather, 8 months along.
Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving!
