Here is our new nephew:
Dalton Robert Snyder
he came into the world on Friday
February 27th at 7lbs 11 oz and
21" long. Isn't he beautiful!!!
This is my favorite picture of him
so far. He looks like a little ticked
off elf in that hat! I love it and just
cannot wait to get to meet him. I so
wish that I could have been there. :(
Val and Trav and doing great and just
looooove being parents. I can't wait to
get our boys together when they come up
in May. My mom will be in heaven!!

39 week belly (covered)

here's a covered belly pic
for those of you with a weak
stomach! haha
I'm also in my jammies with
no make-up on so I look even
more tired than I really was.

39 Week belly pic

Here's my big ol' belly
at 39 weeks. As you can see, I'm
looking pretty tired at this point.
I'm ready to hold my little guy!!

Changing area

This is our changing table area.
My dad made Val and I each a dresser
when we were little and so I decided to
use mine as the baby's changing table.
~Perfect for not having to bend over with
a sore back! We also matched our crib (which
my mom and dad bought us for our baby shower)
and our rocker to match the dresser.
~Note the "fake" baby on the table :)

"Practice" baby

I bought this doll to teach
Jason how to change diapers on
and to practice putting in the carseat
and swing, etc. He did pretty good for
never having had ever tried to change
a diaper before. Of course I don't think
our little guy will be quite as still and quiet.

Getting ready for baby

here's the super nice
Peg Perego carseat that
Jasons mom and dad bought
us for our baby shower.
Super safe with side impact
and everything!

Bodey-Bear is back!!

Our Boogie is back home
after "bootcamp" and is
doing really well. The whole
vibe of our house is more
relaxed now that he doesn't feel
like he's always competing for
the "alpha" dog spot.
We are so happy to have our
fur level back up to 5!

Still 1 missing

Here's 3 of my little lovers, Bodey is still at "boot camp", one more week to go until he's home. We went to train with him yesterday and the stubborn little bugger kept getting the crap shocked out of him. He did behave and listen much better though. I just can't wait till he gets home so the "furry 5" are 5 again. :)
Look at Moose's paw on Ny's back. Cute! Even Nilla has been snuggly. They are probably afraid that they are next for "boot camp"
