Brotherly advice

Thank you to eveyone who sent well wishes & gifts for our new family member on the way...one gift was most unique and i'm feeling the need to share. Recently, Chad and Lindsey sent us a baby gift - some cute little steeler booties and a Mini Safe baby handling kit. The booties are adorable, Nate loves them...but the Handling Kit is priceless and hilarious!!! My favorite part is the Responsibility wheel, but I also love all the magnets that show good tips. For example, a good way to calm the baby is by holding and patting its back VS the bad way which is giving the baby a bottle of Jack Daniels or something and a few others like the pics below. As first time parents we can really learn a lot - LOL. The kit really has some good advice, along with a lot of good laughs, thanks Chad and Lindsey.

Between Then and Now...

Nate and I enjoy traveling...some vacations are more relaxing than others, like laying on a beach in Maui or playing golf in Sadona vs. camping, and sometimes we decide to do road trips here in AZ, but where ever we are - what ever we're doing, we enjoy it all.
Over this past fall, we flew back to PA for a Jimmy Buffett party hosted by my wonderful parents and Christa & Dan's Bridal shower. My folks really know how to throw a party, and get all my relatives to come, so the trip is not soooo crazy for us. My brother and I spent the evening fighting over who makes better Margarita's (and Chad having to go to the store to get more Tequilla after I started making them), to fighting over who is a better bowler on Wii. Good times! We even found a moment to go watch the Pirates play...they seriously look like the "Bad news bears", but the stadium is definately worth visiting.
Next we flew to North Carolina for Christa and Dan's wedding. NC is nice, rainy and green. The wedding and all the events surrounding the wedding were beautiful. I just wish I wasn't so tired...it was a long, short weekend :)
And finally, we took a "roadie" to the Univ. of Phx stadium (A.K.A. Cardinals stadium) to watch the Steelers let the Cardinals win. It was not one of my better days, but it was still fun...sitting in the stands, watching the fans beat up on each other...and Nate making fun of me when the Steelers lost. It hurt for a little bit, but I'm ok now.
Our next trip isn't for a couple of weeks....For our 2nd Anniversary, we're planning to go to Green Bay to watch Bret Farve and the Packers play at Lambeau Field, and visit Nate's Grandma. I've never been to Wisconsin so i'm very excited about the trip...a little worried about how cold it's going to be...but excited!

5 months later

We just got back from our doctors appointment and everything looks good. Doc confirmed that Baby Hubbell is a little girl!! So it's ok to start buying pink...but not too much pink :) We didn't get as many good pics as the last time, but here are a couple of good ones.

It all started here :)

Some may know the specific day and time...I'm not that good. I do know that when Nathan and I traveled to California, visiting Santa Barbara, San Francisco and Sanoma Valley we had a great time relaxing and drinking wine. This is where we think it all started :)
