The Parmas!

Here are a couple of ultrasound pics of our up-and-coming Parma girl. Emily is 26 weeks along, estimated due date of November 25th. We're so happy to say that, despite a high-risk pregnancy, both Emily and baby are doing well with no complications.

And [here's where you come in] we really need name suggestions. Even if you don't normally post, please post now with your fave girl names (ones you wouldn't mind us potentially borrowing, of course).

Looking at the camera

Bria and Emily are now in Seattle, playing with the Morrisons and having a great time. Grandma Michelle took us to the Seattle Aquarium where we ate fish and chips, played on the whale and saw lots of "Nemos and Dories."

While in Utah, Emily was able to see Rosy's spectacular performance in Seussical! Great job, Rosy!

Bria loves to help Daddy clean the car. She was really rockin' out before the camera turned on. She refused to get out until David was done.

Bria's curiosity [and little bum] allow her to climb into all sorts of cupboards, boxes, bins and tubs.



While she's watching Little Mermaid, of course.

Three essential criteria for a good 4th:
1. Swimming
2. BBQ (and chips)
3. Fireworks

We passed with flying colors! Bria loved the fireworks show. And the chips--but don't worry, they were Baked Lays.

Here's our thriving garden -- looks like we planted too much too close! We've had 1 tomato (delicious), a huge zucchini and lots of cucumbers. And basil, too. I hope we get lots and lots of tomatoes!

"O" means eight.
Her shirt reminds me of Strawberry Shortcake.

Thanks to some friends for offering to watch Bria, David got an early birthday present and we snuck off to an Indians game. They played the Texas Rangers in nearby Arlington. We scored some really close, cheap seats! It's just too bad that, out of the 3 game series, the game we attended was the one when the Indians got smashed. But it was a really fun, nice night. And I got my kettle corn.



Here's Grady Sizemore. Too bad his parents named him "Grady." Shoulda started his name with a B and it'd be much cooler.



A Pronk bar, named after Travis Hafner the famous Indians player. We picked one up at the local chocolateria Malley's (too bad they're not in Texas).
