Here we go!

Last chance for a quick look back, and then onward we head!
As many of you have heard, Corinne is measuring very, very large, and they have estimated the baby to be between 10 and 11 lbs. Obviously we're aware that these are estimates, and may not be precise, but WOW!
For those that haven't been out to visit us, this is our beautiful blue bedroom. We love it.

And this is our nursery. It's a pale gray with pink and white accents. We spent a long time designing it and finding each piece on craigslist or at the goodwill (then refinishing and adding new knobs etc.). We love to spend time in this room because it is very calming and serene, at least for now!!!

Corinne's done such a great job during pregnancy -- patient, long-suffering, calm. I'm so proud of you babe!

We have discussed at length all the options for delivery, and with the understanding that there is a very good chance that our little girl might top 10 lbs, we have determined to move forward with a Cesarean. Our little one will be born this coming Tuesday, around 10 am eastern! She better be a heavyweight!

Thank you to all for your prayers, support, and advice. We appreciate it.

Yea you're almost there. I too agree that c-sections aren't that bad. Just get up and walking as soon as your doctor says it's o.k. You will feel a lot better faster. Good luck on Tuesday, can't wait to see her!

OH my gosh! I just read this and realized... that's RIGHT NOW!! Or, rather, a few hours ago. Does that mean that your sweet little one is HERE? Hooray! Can't wait to see pictures. Congratulations you two!

Hey Broadbents! We've been thinking of you since your note to us which we got while traveling in Asia. We hope everything is going well with your little one, such a special time. Congrats and hope to hear more news and see more pics of her. We were hoping Wilfred and Linsey would be in your ward- yay! We'll be visiting them someday so we'll get to see you then. For now, take care and enjoy this new journey!

At the beach in San Francisco
During our Christmas visit to CA, we went to Baker's beach to take some photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Welcome...

Yes, yes, we realize we're jumping on a bandwagon....but come on, it's just so much fun! How else can you turn yourself or your family into instant celebrities?! Or make everyone else think you have a perfect life...

Anyway, welcome to our newest addition! It doesn't cry or need attention. And no diaper changing. Whatever we tell it to do, it does (until the computer crashes). And we can sleep in on Saturday.

Well, life is good. We live in Connnecticut. You know, the place about which Glenn Close's character in the Stepford Wives said, "Where in America could a whole town of robots go unnoticed? Connecticut!"

Allan is working as a Landscape Designer and Corinne is working as a Singer/Dancer/Actress! We have the greatest church ward this side of the Mississippi - lots of big active families and our chapel is only 2 miles away. Allan serves as the 11 year old primary teacher and Blazer leader, and Corinne is the YW Personal Progress Leader. There are hundreds of young people in our ward, so it's busy!

Browse our recently added pictures, slideshows, and posts. We'll do our best to keep it updated.

There is a big balloon parade put on by UBS, and they set everything up just outside our balcony -- cool!
