Zenit ET: February 2004 Archives

 Yuko and I went out to take a look at a house that is for sale. Unfortunatly it wasn't what we had hopped it would be, but is anything in this world, except maybe love? Well we are going to continue the search for a house that we can afford and Yuko will like. The cold is back here in Minnesota and it looks like we will warm up again in the upcoming days. It is a dangerous time of the year for catching a cold. When it warms up here in the lower 30F range it seems time to break out the shorts and have a beach party. Well I am a big believer that they should close up the state in early November and only reopen in May.

In other news, we are down to two days to go until we go and have the ultrasound at the doctor's office. I am really ecited and I know that Yuko is also. We have waited a long time and we want to know! Yuko and I are hoping the baby will be in the mood to let us tell just what kind of baby we are going to have.

This is a orchid that Yuko and I found when we made a trip to the Minnesota Zoo. It was taken with my trusty Zenit ET and Helios 44-4 58MM lens on expired Kodak 200 color film.

 Here is another picture of my cute niece, Jillian. She is so cute, but I am thinking that she is going to have a hard time beating our baby, if it turns out to be a girl. Every day is one closer. Yuko and I have an appointment on the morning of the 17th to see the doctor for our first ultrasound and a check up. The doctor told us that there might be a chance that the baby's legs could be in the way not allowing us to see what kind of baby we are going to have. I have an answer for that. I will spin Yuko above my head, WWF style and then we will try again. In other news, the weather is getting nicer. It was almost above freezing today. I hope the snow will be on the way out for our drive down to Des Moines to see the folks and take care of some business.

 Well it has been a tough week for me between the nasty snow storm we got and the daily commute to Eagan to the training center. Last week it was the terriable cold and now snow. I am asking myself, "What was I thinking when I moved to this misserable state?" I really should have moved south to a warm clim... I have really latched on the idea of a co-worker of mine, they should close up this state and not let anyone back in until May or so. I think she is onto something here. Well anyways, here is a picture of my niece, Jillian. I took this shot during our Christmass visit to the folk's house. I can't wait until I can meet our own baby. Yuko is getting bigger and I have felt our baby many times. I think we are going to have a kicker.
