Pickin’ and grinnin’

Shannon and I are now past the half way mark with the baby. If I am not mistaken, we are now in the 22nd week. Things seem to be going well. A little discomfort here and there, but at this point nothing unbearable. (touch wood!).  We now have the babies room nearly cleaned out. Still need to remove a couple things, but we are nearly ready to paint and fill the room with baby stuff. And man, is there ever a lot of baby stuff.  Shannon and I went to ‘Babies R’ Us’ to register for baby items. Partially for any baby showers, and partially just to get an idea of what we need to buy. A bit overwhelming when you see just how many things you could get.

Well, at long last (after a 10 year hiatus), I am finally getting back to a hobby I once loved. Playing guitar. As those who knew me in highschool, I spent a great deal of time trying to tame the six stringed beast. I wasn’t very good, but I really enjoyed playing. So after years of me saying ‘I have to start playing again’, I took the plunge, took my old electric guitar in to be ‘set up’ and bought a small practice amp. Only other thing I really want is a good acoustic guitar. It would be nice not to have to plug in all the time, and also, its nice to have both types, so I can play any type of song I want. I will keep you informed on my progress 🙂

And lastly, could the beetle actually be on the road this year? Yes, it’s almost looking that way. It is going into the headliner shop tomorrow to have the headliner, seats and windows installed. Once that is done, with any luck, it will only be a few more weeks until it is road worthy. I imagine the car will be there for no more then a week, so hopefully next week at this time, I will have some more updated pictures.

 Here are some updated galleries that I had put off uploading until the server was behaving again. Looks like its finally good to go.
