February 1st, 2010

Duncan knows that some jobs you have to do on your own to get it right!  Even if  you’re a 2 year old Fire Chief like himself!

Sorrowful News

January 27th, 2010

Sean and Duncan enjoy a light moment.  Sean is at 26 weeks now and we are in fullswing preparations for welcoming Baby girl to the family in late April. We do not have a name picked out yet!  A project that I’m sure we will have  completed by April.  We are planing what we are describing as a “celebrate the last time we will ever do this baby thing again party” sometime before April 15.  Otherwise, all is well.  Life is busy, but we did want to send warm thoughts to our Aunt’s Marilyn and Myrtice, and Uncle Jima. We are thinking of you and wish you the best of health!  We also want to wish our cousin Michelle a HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the 5th! 

CHRISTMAS 2009

January 5th, 2010

deckwinterstorm-12-19-09-900.JPGdec192009.jpgWe haven’t seen snowfall like this in quite a while. Here’s outside our home and outside the most famous home in America.  Dec 19 broke a 70 year long record as the most snowfall in a single day in the month of December.  For us, 13-17 inches!  And just in time for CHRISTMAS!

We had a wonderful Holiday Season with family and friends. More pictures will follow soon. We were so busy with holiday entertaining and playing Santa, we are just now able to start catching up to the new year.  We thank everyone who sent us cards and gifts and Christmas goodies.  We feel so blessed to have all of you in our lives.

BABY GIRL MANSPERGER 10 & 20 WEEK SONOGRAM

December 12th, 2009

Well. It’s that ” most wonderful time of the year”!   As we get ready for the Holidays,  we were happy to see how well Baby Mansperger has grown since her 10 week sonogram.  At 20 weeks, everything checks out fine and she looks like a baby now with all her features intact and working!  Here’s more of what happens at 20 weeks:

Simply wonderful and amazing to see how much has changed in 10 weeks!  This will probably be our last Sonogram.  Due date is April 28th, but with a scheduled C-section, Baby Mansperger will probably be delivered earlier than that.

We are so excited now! And I think both Sean and I can attest, being pregnant during most of the Winter is sooooooooo much better than being pregnant during the Summer; like we were with Duncan in 2007.

And we have thought of Girl names, but we are not telling.  Not until Baby Mansperger is delivered into our most waiting arms!

We hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving.  We are happy and feel very blessed to let everyone know that we will be having a baby girl in April 2010!  Sean and baby are doing just fine.  As you see, Duncan has already visited Santa once at the Greenstreet Gardens in Lothian, MD.  We look forward to seeing some of you over the Holidays.  I am planning for Sean’s 40th Birthday in late January to become a Birthday Party/Baby-shower.

Our lil Count Duncan the vampire seemed to enjoy Halloween this year with his cousin Anthony.  In fact, from the picture above, he seems to be practicing his vampire biting skills on himself. :)
