Bumps R Us

Here you have it folks.  The 14 week bumpy.

This was the day I finally had to crack and buy sexy, sassy jeans with an elastic panel.  Turns out, I could wear pants like that forever, especially during Holidays.

Estoy Embarazada....and that doesn't mean embarrassed.

There is a 100% chance that one of the two of us is PREGNANT.

This person is about 14 weeks along and is due August 2nd.  Any guesses?????

We are so excited we feel like this:

And our baby is already so cute and looks just like us.  This was his or her 10 week debut:

Check out those arms and legs!

Many more updates to come....and yes, we'll finally start using our blog regularly....

Love, The 3 Bobloochies

Costa Rica

We decided to take a break from our Wii Jeopardy addiction and spend some time outside! We were fortunate enough to enjoy the east coast snow storms 2000 miles away in Costa Rica while watching them on TV.
We had a great time with J-Po, Steve-O, and Justine!



When weren't sitting around drinking beer and gorging ourselves with fresh fish, we terrorized monkeys!


We didn't mess with these guys!


We almost got attacked!


But we survived...




And we capped it off with a relaxing dip in the hot springs.

October

First of all, we did not do this:

We decided Marathon Training was not for us when we decided to take a "lovely run" on a 95 degree day, and Steph started crying on Register Avenue.
But we did....

See the Legwarmers for our friend Kim's birthday.
And, then did the Race for the Cure with Ben's mom the next day....feeling a little "under the weather."  Steph thankfully did not throw up.

Our friend, Leigh, came to visit for a couple hours and we took her to the wonderful Samo's. Although she did not wear Ben's favorite "I love Cats" sweatshirt, she did wear a lovely tribute to the Nation's Eagles.

The Post's came to Baltimore!  And we went to Gettysburg...I'll have to upload a picture later (like when I'm not at work...) 

We also joined a "Haiti Learning Group" learning about the history and culture of Haiti, and hopefully participating in a trip to Haiti in the next year.  This is really exciting because Steph has been to Haiti a couple of times, and we had wanted to visit Haiti together while Ben was living in the Dominican Republic, but it was never possible.  It's been a great thing for us to explore our love for the international community, and do something together again we really care about.  Currently, we're on a $2 a day eating challenge for the class...it's been a great experience.
This is a picture from when Steph visited Haiti to see the Citadel a couple years ago:

Steph went to Michigan as well, very very last minute, to see all her old friends and roommates from Hope College.  5 year reunion, we're officially older.  She also got to see her dear friends Biz and Julie.

Annnnd....Steph loves Halloween.  So we carved a legit pumpkin this year (although last year's was amazing too).  And we checked out the Great Lantern Parade in Patterson Park.  It was well worth it, and we're already planning on joining in next year...let us know if you want to be a part of our lantern team! 

I think we're semi-caught up now. 

September

We are horrible at actually updating our blog, although we love having it.  I'm sure it will get a little more interesting come winter time when we're treking through Costa Rica with the Post family...

Here's what we did in September:

We killed some mice, Boblooch style.

We went to Michigan and stayed at the Post's Cottage on Burt Lake.  Grandpa Post came and played a couple rounds of Salad Bowl.

We visited the Fort, we hadn't been there since we were kids.....We played with guns and Ben drew a mustahce on my face with a piece of charcoal.

It was great to see Justine before she left for Nicaragua.

Ok....we'll talk about October next.

constantly improving...

Last year:

This year:

the long haul is over...

I have officially finished my last assignment, ever, for grad school.  Tomorrow I will get the sweet satisfaction of going to my last class ever and handing it in.
Last night as we were running we congratulated ourselves, as couple, for getting through this crazy year of grad school.  It took both of us, and we're so proud and relieved that it's OVER!
