Change has been the word of the past few months. Several exciting and new things have happened in our life recently. The smallest of these things is that we re-carpeted the entire house - I absolutely love the new carpet and am thankful that we were able to do it - Thank goodness for a good deal at Lowe's. The next exciting adventure has been the start of a new journey for Matt in terms of work. He gave up his post at DTS to take on the position of Facilities Manager at Criswell College. He now works about 2 blocks from his old job. He just started on Monday and is adjusting a little slowly. There's a lot of work to be done, but I know he's up for the challenge and will really enjoy it once he gets a handle on everything.
Here's a picture of the new carpet...

The last, but not certainly NOT least of our big changes is that we are expecting a baby on December 27!!! I am currently 8 weeks and 2 days. We had our first appointment today and a sonogram. Little peanut is certainly in there and has a heartbeat of 162 bpm. We are so excited! There is nothing like seeing your little in there and.... REAL!
This is a picture of the sono picture so it's a little hard to see. Peanut is off to the left in the little black sac :)

Of course, baby seems to have a large head and a bit of a tail but I'm sure that will all work out :)
