Christmas is coming!

Keri and I told my Grandparents about our Baby news by giving them their "Christmas Gift" early. We wrapped these new born Santa socks and gave it to them on Thanksgiving when my Mom's family got together. My grandparents love Santa stuff so it was a very fun way of letting them know our exciting news.

The Jingle Bell Jog was held on the 6th of December in the River Market District in Downtown Little Rock. Keri and I were a part of Robinson Elementary's team. Thanks for the registration discount Mom!

Keri and I spent the day before my birthday at my parents house. We had finger-lickin'-good wings, twice baked potatoes, and ice cream cake! It was a great afternoon with Justin and my folks. My parents bought me a Sony Dream Machine and got me this elephant book for my birthday. I really think elephants are cool and the book will be an excellent read for our new baby! The Sony Dream Machine (horrible name for a cool ipod sound system) is already getting a lot of use in our tiny apartment with Christmas music blaring from it's speakers.

BABY HELMICK!

Baby Helmick is expected to arrive on July 9th 2009! He or she is 8 weeks 4 days old as of 12/1/08 and about the size of a large green olive!

Baby Helmick's heartbeat was around 169 beats per minute! Hearing that tiny heartbeat has brought so much joy into our lives. We can't wait to hold and love this little one in 7 months!
