Final 4 (three, two, one...)

With plenty of NASA themed advertisements, we decided to get tickets for the Final r hosted in Houston. Timing was perfect, knowing that once the little one arrives we'll have more difficulty going to some events like this. Despite the uneventful final against Butler and UNC, the semi-final game with Butler and VCU made it all worth it. We were up high (as you can see) but still able to see all the action.



The last few months have been mostly spent on preparing the house and yard for the summer so that we can spend more time with the new addition to our family once he/she comes. We fixed some stucco, tore down trees, ripped up roots (thanks to Erik's parents) and built a retaining wall for the flower beds. We then replanted a new vegetable garden and a few trees/plants that won't clog up our pool drains as much (thanks to Marin's parents). Our fruit trees are looking good and we have 6 tomatoes plants already starting to blossom. All that yard work isn't too bad since the pool has averaged 82 for the last few weeks.

Marin is having a fantastic pregnancy with very few of the uncomfortable symptoms. Spending time at the YMCA and in our pool has helped significantly.

Until our next post, you'll find us on our back porch or in the pool enjoying the weather.
