Barton Creek Greenbelt

We hiked around the Barton Creek Greenbelt this morning. I think this is part of the hill country of Texas, not sure, but we definitely were up on some hills.

Its a girl!!!!!

Here are ultrasound photos of our new daughter. Zoe says she wants to have a tea party with her little sister. We are thinking of names right now. Yea!

Rick Steeves

I went to see Rick Steves speak at a local bookstore. He host a travel show on PBS that Ive watched for years. It was great to watch him speak, he is very political when he is off camera.

He just finished a show about Iran. He said the reason he did this show is to try and show the west what the people of Iran are really like. The corporate media has been so busy dehumanizing Iran, that he wanted a chance to show how they (the people of Iran) are just people, like us, just trying to live their life. We shouldn't confuse the people with the policies of their government.

Peacocks in the Park

We went to Mayfield park here in Austin to check out the wild peacocks that roam around. They have lived there since the early 1900s.

Big Smile!!!!!

Nikki at 18 weeks pregnant

We should find out in a couple of weeks the sex of the baby. Then we can start figuring out names. Nikki is doing very well.
