One of us is 30...

Trent's 30th birthday came and went last Saturday and we combined the event with the annual pumpkin carving contest. It wasn't quite the same as some 'key players' were missing, but it was great that some of us were able to get together nonetheless. Trent's pumpkin was a prime example of what a 'career man' he has become lately (see picture). What a devoted employee! Amie put us all to shame as she 'freestyled' her way to this year's coolest-looking pumpkin. It is quite obvious that Amie definitely got all of the pumpkin-carving skills in the Dowell-Chomik family (sorry Rickshaw)! My parents also played and did quite well considering that they finished carving in under 5 minutes flat!

As for me, well, I have only 4 sleeps left as a pregnant lady. I am looking forward to meeting the newest Hasse on Monday (and also looking forward to the day when I can once again touch my toes!)

2 more weeks...

Maybe it is the fact that I have too much time on my hands, or maybe it is the fact that having a baby seems to be a subject of interest for A LOT of people, but I have decided to start a blog. This will be a way for us to keep our loved ones informed about what is new in our lives and is a little bit more personal than facebook (I think). We are looking forward to the arrival of our little one on November 3rd, (although mom wishes that it would come much, much before then... like, NOW!). Anyway, hope you enjoy following along on our upcoming journey...
