Baby Dickson 16 weeks


Sorry this update is a week late but our ever annoying computer died again! Paul has managed to revive it for now but it probably wont last long.
So these are the pictures from our 3rd ultrasound. We were very happy to hear everything is completely normal now! Hurray:) The first picture is obviously its face and tummy, you can see the nose and lips. Everyone at once ahhhhhhh.
The second picture is a bit more tricky. If you look closely you can see 2 legs on either side of the arrow and in the middle right below the arrow is the area in question. The doctor wouldn't tell us the sex because he was not sure enough but seemed to be leaning towards a willy. He was however nice enough to put a question mark and arrow on the scan. He was funny and looked like the dude from "whose line is it anyways" Ryan Stiles. Time will tell. Because everything was normal with the baby we no longer get a 19 week scan and by the time the 26 week scan comes around it will most likely be too squashed to tell what it is. It may be a surprise.
Anyways, Matt I think you will be happy to know that Paul's top 20 names for boys included Bodie! Great minds think alike right.

Always check you kids homework!!!!

A first grade girl handed in the drawing below for a homework assignment:



After it was graded and the child brought it home, she returned to school the next day with the following note:

Dear Ms. Davis,
I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This photo is of me selling a shovel.
Mrs. Harrington


Let that be a warning to us all!!!!!

Cammmmiiiiilllllllllaaaaaa visits!!!

December also brought a very fun visit from Cami, so here are just a few of the 10,000 photos (no joke!!!) that she took while here.


Cami on a bus tour with Edinburgh Castle in the background

Here piggies piggies piggies!!! - Megan and Cami having a chippie.

Freezing in North Berwick (a small fishing village)

Megan and I in front of the forth bridge! I know shocking, the sun is out!!!!


'Not another photo' - Veto was not impressed with Cami's camera addiction!

As you can see, I just have to ruin all good photos somehow!

The (William) Wallace Monument has many stairs to the top - The girls had to stop for a rest!

But they needed it to regain the strength to survive the light breeze at the top that day!!

Cami still smiling after a week of Paul (even more amazing than the sun being out!) You think I am joking Matt and Jody? Just wait you have 2 whole weeks of me to deal with this year!! 8-)

We will update you with more soon, take care, Love us XxXxXxXxX

Happy New Year to you all!

Megan, bump and I are doing great and had a good Hogmanay (New Years in Scotland). However we have a lot to catch you guys up on, so here are some pics of our quick December London trip to start with.
