Dear Baby Cav,
We are so lucky to say that we celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary yesterday with a different sort of gift - you! Our little baby - we saw you just last week at 13 weeks old in a very cool ultrasound. You were kicking your "k-nees" (the German doctor pronounces the silent "K") and were a whopping 6.64 cm. We could hardly believe our eyes and feel very blessed.
We just got back from a trip to Portugal and Sevilla, so we spent our anniversary in Heinsberg. Lucky for us it was (finally!!!) a warm and sunny day. Colin surprised me by having a beautiful picnic ready to go when I got home from the gym. He had grilled chicken, roasted peppers, toasted rolls and made the most delicious sandwiches and caprese for us to share by the lake. He even thought to put chocolate milk in a thermos - I was so impressed! We enjoyed the picnic while Lola enjoyed basking in the sun (she misses it too!) and took a walk around the lake. Really, it was the best sort of way to celebrate our anniversary!
Your first trimester was pretty exciting.
We took you home to California, where you met both sets of your grandparents. You met plenty of aunts and uncles too, and TONS of cousins! By the time you are born, you'll have no less than 18 cousins. That is a lot of built in friends! You even met your great grandfather AND great grandmother! And a bunch of our best friends too. Although most of them didn't quite realize they were meeting you yet...
Don't worry, we'll introduce you again when you are a bit more mobile.
Over the past three months, we've had some good times in Germany and the Netherlands too. We dressed like this for Carnivale...
And this for a fun Charity night at a nearby base for the theme "Once upon a Time"...
Oh no - have we embarrassed you already? ;-) Its no wonder that you are due to arrive on Halloween!
We can't wait to meet you, Baby Cav. You have a fun summer ahead in Norway, Austria, Switzerland and France. Don't worry, we're saving Greece and Provence for after your arrival.
We are excited for this next journey, and love you so much already.
Love, Mom & Dad
