Baby Room

Here is the baby room!!! No baby as of yet...August 15th...which I may say is one day past his due date!!! But The funny story about the baby room is that at first it was supposed to be green with a brown stripe...so we went to the store and bought green and brown paint...we had the green done and then started in on the brown...we did a small section to make sure that it would look good...dang good thing we did cuz after that spot dried it looked plum purple...so it was back to the store to try a different brown...so we came back home with 1 liter of a paint we choose and had mixed ourselves more of a cow brown and painted a small area with that...ugh...that was defenitly poop brown...so back to the store again...this time we bought a tiny little bottle of brown...and it was the best brown so far but when we painted a larger spot it clashed so badly with the crib we knew it wasn't going to work...so...we decided to take a break from painting and to tape up the walls so that when we did find the right brown we could just paint it on and pull the tape....after taping one wall I changed my mind and we decided to change colors to green and blue!!! So we went back to Toom and took the painters tape with us got blue paint that matched the painters tape and voila...This is our baby's room!! I owe a very huge and special thanks to my mom who after 4 trips to Toom ( not all paint related) was still chipper and had a good attitude...which is more than I could say about me (this was week 39 in pregnacny...so I was almost in tears after the last 2 failed paints and to put the tape line up I had to walk away about 5 times so I didn't punch a hole in our concrete walls) But we did it...we love it and now I just can't wait until our little guy gets to sleep in here!!!

Last of the Maternity Photos

On Sunday our friend Cass took some maternity pics of us! She did a fantastic job and I love them!! We both loved this old school look where the color is tweaked a little bit! But my favorite is the one of Ivan looking at the camera...I call this Mr Blue Eyes...and hope when our little one comes he has his daddy's eyes and eyelashes for that matter!!! Ivan was such a good sport thru it all I love him very much and hopefully that translated into the pics!! We also love the heart on the belly pic!! We went to Wittlich, Germany to take these photos and had a blast walking around the walkplatz looking for one special door...which we didn't find but we did find the famous pig!!! Then we came to this park and walked around for bit and then got right to it!! Cass is also going to come and do newborn pics for us as well...I can't wait!! We both feel very blessed to have such great friends with such great talents in our lives!! Hope you all like them!!!

Maternity Photo Shoot

Belly Pics....here they are for all of those who were harassing me about more pics...The only one I can remember the actual weeks on is the white w/ gray sweater that is me at 35 weeks!

More of Eifel Wildlife Park

So here are some more pics of the Eifel wildlife park! Ivan wanted his pic taken with one of the baby goats...thats why he's bending down!
These are the wolves they were feeding them when we got done with the walk around so we headed back over to watch them eat! It was amazing...These are the boars and deer from the last post...we had tons of fun but I was dripping wet with sweat by the time we walked the whole park!! Ivan almost got his head bit off and not from an angry wild animal...but from his wife cuz he wouldn't let her sit down when she wanted too!!! he he he!!!

Eifel park

This is me feeding the goats, and bears at the wildlife park!! It was sooo much fun! Even though one of the goats headbutted me right in the behind! We also fed some boars and deer too! Ivan tried telling me not to hand feed the deer...but I was like whatever I do what I want!! he he he!! This was July 2nd...Ivan got the day off to go and explore the Eifel for work! I'll post more pics...cuz there's some of Ivan feeding these little goats too and those are great!!!
