Gumpy & Angela Go Skydiving!!!!!

For Christmas last year we all pooled our money together and bought Gumpy, Matt's Dad, a gift certificate for skydiving.  So, on Sunday, we all traveled to Baldwin, Wisconsin to watch him take his death-defying leap!  Angela, Matt's sister, also jumped, too!  This was at Skydive Twin Cities, where I jumped 9 year ago!  Now just to get Matt to do it!

 Daryl with the plane - he loved watching it take off, but was a little scared of the noise at first.

 "I'm ready!"

 "Here we go!"
 Making sure it's good and tight!

 Here they come - flying ants!

 Gumpy - living the dream!
 Landed safely on the ground - taking a breath and thinking about what just happened!

"We did it!  What an amazing experience!"

Baby #2 - 12 week ultrasound

I had my 12 week appointment today.  It was supposed to be a normal check-up, but the doctor had trouble finding the baby's heartbeat, so I got an ultrasound, too!  Everything is looking good, and the baby is doing great!  He/she was very active, which is probably why the doctor had such trouble hearing the heart - he/she wouldn't stop squirming around!

 Smiling for the camera - you can also see the brain!
