Puppies!

In a completely unrelated event to Erin's pregnancy, one of her aunt's dogs just had puppies! They are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and may just be the cutest things you see this week. Victoria is the proud mother of seven new little guys and gals. I guess this makes me an uncle!

Her aunt was nice enough to send along some pictures of the litter, so here they are and enjoy!

Gah, it moved!

I have to be honest, feeling one of the babies move around under my wife's skin is a bit alarming. Maybe I've just seen "Alien" one too many times, but when I put my hand on a heretofore smooth bit of unjostling skin, and then something slides under my palm like it's reaching out to me, well, what can I say?

On the baby front, I can report they are moving around now, and judging by Erin's lamentations, engaged in a heady game of one-on-one soccer, perhaps involving her bladder or maybe a liver. Apparently all we're requesting right now is that kid #2 on the right just stop using her lower rib as a jungle gym. Otherwise Erin is doing well and is still at this point mobile. I think we have another ultrasound around the beginning of November, so stay tuned for updates to our picture gallery around that time.

On a personal note, my work softball team just finished the season with a record of 4-2, thus clinching us a berth in the championship game for the first time ever. This is an exciting development, as in all previous years we've been scratching and clawing for last place.
