After a crazy Colorado week we flew home. This is what it looked like:
Tag: Travel
We had a THREE HOUR LAYOVER in Chicago. Lucky for us there’s a Children’s Museum in the airport. Moxie rocked it.
Moxie and I took our first trip without dad to go visit Buffalo, NY. Well, we were excited about visiting Buffalo and stocking up on sponge candy but we were actually there for Courtney’s baby shower. Denise and Terry Lee were great hosts and made Moxie and I feel right at home. We fit in at the Lee house. Courtney is the most beautiful pregnant woman I have ever seen and Buffalo is a cool town. We ate delicious food, got to meet the crew, and, of course, celebrated Baby Ricci.
We are looking forward to meeting little Mr. Firetruck. End of this month!!
Well, many of you know the McGregor-Dorsey-Lee clan is going on an adventure. We are headed to Florida. After reading about newborns and DisneyWorld we figured out that the Magic Kingdom is the best place for us to hang and that babies are really good on rides. We are going to test that. Many suggested getting ear protection for babies as they can startle quite easily. Moxie is sporting some cool ear muffs:
She’s not 100% sure how she feels about them yet. Everyday we put them on her for a little longer. Pretty soon here she will be wearing them full time. Everyone better start learning sign language.

| Pulled pork secret ingredient |
For the last few days Moxie has gotten to hang out with Kiki. She has been helping all of us stay sane and really well fed (ask her about her pulled pork recipe). We are sad she is leaving tomorrow. Next time hopefully Glenn and Kai can join us too!

| Unfortunately, Jess let go of the stoller to take the picture. We still can’t get the Pili fur out of the Britax wheels. |
Hi Friends and Family!

| Jess would later give birth to a 4 of diamonds. Was that the card you were thinking of? |
As we await (not so patiently) the arrival of our daughter we thought we would get our blog up and running. We want to share our adventures with you but weren’t sure the right medium to do so. We considered phone trees, beginning with our moms and letting the information branch out from there, hand written letters using carbon paper, email updates, and an MTV reality show. After serious review we figured out this blog would be our choice. Anyway, please check in with us every once in a while and see how things are developing in our neck of the woods.
In the news: Little Missy Colorado’s due date *was* August 23rd. However, here, today August 28th she still remains snuggled comfortably in my gut. Our new working theory is that she is actually an elephant and will need 22 months to gestate instead of the measly nine human babies need. Actually, our midwife practice will induce labor at 42 weeks so worst case is this child will be born around September 6th.
We are all set for LMC’s arrival. We have our hospital bag packed (mostly) and the various numbers programed into our phones. We will let you know as soon as something happens.
Well, welcome to the blog! We hope it won’t be too terribly boring.
Jess and Strider
