In the Home Stretch...

It's been a while since we've updated the blog- so much has happened here. First and foremost the story of the past month has been the WEATHER! Holy Snow! We have already gone well over our allotted snow days and the school system has taken away two days of our spring break to make up for it. Mandy had her baby shower in the middle of a blizzard. We are so thankful for the gifts and that people actually braved the weather to get to Kathleen's Tearoom for the party! We wished everyone could have been there!!! Huge props to Andi and Lindsay for getting it together. I especially want to thank Rob and Bill for shoveling snow all morning and for not dropping dead of a heart attack while doing it. Eventually Bill was overtaken by common sense and flashed a 20 at a passing snowplow driver and the job was done! Mom and Jessica paid the price for being in Asheville during a blizzard. Their flight was delayed by about 8 hours at the AVL airport but eventually they made it back to the D. Mandy's Mom came in the next day and has been here for the past week shopping for Nolan and getting more stuff ready. Mandy is now in her 8th month and the reality is closing in. Final preparations have been made to Nolan's room and we are trying frantically to go over lists and make sure we have everything we need for the baby boy. In short, we are both very thankful for our friends and family and we feel blessed and excited for what is to come!
