Help us find a name.

We came across a website that allows us to put in some baby names and lets you vote on them. These are names that we have just thrown out there. We aren't sure if we are really behind any of them, but we would appreciate your inpute. Go to this site. http://www.babynames.com/namelist/9595239. We are doing good. It sounds like the Target here is doing some shifting around of leadership so we are not yet sure were that will leave Falene. Her job isn't at risk, she just might have to move to another department. I also just finished my last session of doing practice interviews and hopefully should be doing the real thing next week. We shall see. Falene is doing good. Tired as always though. Bob and Dermit are doing really good to. Bob will turn 3 at the end of this month on Adams birthday and dermit will turn 1at the end of the month as well. He is close enough so we say he has the same birthday as Adam and Bob. We hope all of you are doing well. We love and miss you. We are excited about the prospect of seeing you all in a couple of months.

Love
Chris & Falene

It's a boy?

Well we found out last week that we are probobly going to have a boy. The nurse got a quck shot so she wasn't 100% but she was pretty sure. Falene and I went up to Milwaukee on saturday. We had a great time. We got to hang out with Mike Skrivseth and Jared McDowell as well as visit with the Semrads and Palicks. The only pictures we ended up taking were of the house. They cut down the big trees in the front and added some landscaping to both the front and the back. Falene thought it was really pretty there and wouldn't mind if we live there. We shall see. I have been having pain were my heel and arch meet on my left foot over the last few months. I've been able to bear with it up till this point. I played basketball last night and after a few minutes it just started to hurt really bad. I'm kind of having some trouble walking today. Luckily I have a 3 day weekend so I am going to get some rest and put it on ice so hopefully it will loosen up for me. If I had tyo guess I would guess it is Plantar fasciitis. Falene is doing good. She is tired as always. The baby is constantly kicking her. It was exciting, I got to actually feel the baby kick for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Sorry we havn't posted anything in a while, nothing new has really been happening. We hope everything is going good for all of you. We miss you. Hopefully we can have something else to write about in the future.

Nothing

Hey just wanted to report that there is nothing new going on. lol. Sorry we are boring. Just keeping busy with work. So sorry. Falene is doing good. Nothing new to report from her. Hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you later.

School

School started this week. I went to my first class and realized right then that I can't do school and work at the same time. Since I have to work, I will be delaying my school until after the baby is born (only 6 months). Don't worry that I won't finish school, I'm still accepted to Palmer just pushed my date back. This will actually work out better for us in the long run though for a few reasons. This wasn't expected but neither was becoming pregnant after we had been trying for 4 years. We both feel good about this and feel that it is what is best for our family. It also allows us to get excited about being pregnant instead of it being another stresser. Were are doing good. Nothing has changed but school. I already feel a lot less stressed. Falene is still doing pretty good. Hasn't been sick really at all. She just gets really tired and needs to rest after coming home from work and being on her feet all day. Hope everything is going well for everybody. Glad to see that mom had a great time on her cruise.

New Phone Number

Just wanted to let you know that the new pnone number I listed below doesn't work so sorry if you have tried to call us. Our phone numbers are still the same as they were in Idaho.

Expecting

For those of you who don't know yet, Falene is pregnant. She is now a little over 3 months along. It was a little bit of a surprise after we moved here to Iowa. The baby is due April 27Th. Falene is doing very well. She hasn't been sick at all. She does notice that she gets tired easier, and likes getting extra sleep. She had a doctors appointment today and she got to hear the heart beat. Everything is looking good. We are excited but it hasn't sunken in yet. Other than that nothing is new. Same ole boring stuff. Work is keeping us busy. I start school on the 30Th. I will miss my vacation from school. Hope everything is going great with all of you. Here are some ultrasounds when Falene was 9 weeks along.

Hey

Sorry it has been so long. Life has been crazy starting work. For those who don't know Falene also got a job at Target as a Team Lead. She makes $4.5 more than me an hour so that is nice. Other than that nothing is new. More news and pictures coming soon.
