Gone Fishin'

In preparation for my impending fatherhood, I have been researching ways to get out of the house ..... or should I say learning skills that I can pass along to my child. This week was fishing in Kernville with our friend Bruce. I had forgotten how nice it is in the mountains, not too far from Bakersfield. Unfortunately I did not know we had to stand in the river to catch the fish and hence the tourist turned up in his best jeans. Alright, the only fish I caught was a bottom feeder but I think I can get used to this fishing lark.

It's not the size that matters

Barry Update

Kristy went for her latest scan on Tuesday only to find out that Barry has a striking resemblance to Homer Simpson. Fortunately the 3D scan revealed a lesser likeness.

Lets just hope he is not yellow

Still a thumb sucker

Along with starting our birthing classes and getting the crib and furniture assembled the impending arrival seems pretty close now. It took forever to find some furniture to perfectly color match our dog. I seem to be enjoying the birthing classes more than Kristy as I get to nip her arms to 'simulate' the pain of a contraction and see if she can tune it out .... I should probably not enjoy the exercise so much or I might need to find a way to tune out some pain.

GrrrrrSpot the dog

We took advantage of long weekend last week and took a trip up to Sacramento. Thanks to Tonya and PC for putting us up and showing us around.
