Pow-wow, MSU Bozeman 2010
A notable, colorful and energetic Native American event with singing, dancing and socializing. It was great to meet up with the folks from the Bozeman Camera Club, too!
Making Baby Hats
Mall Park
Once again, springtime has arrived in Bozeman. We stopped by Mall Park on our way home, went for a walk and took a few photos.
St. Patrick's Dinner 2010
Jessie made a superb corned beef with cabbage, carrots, onions and celery. It is definitely one of my favorite stick-to-your-ribs meal. She also (upon request) made her famed mashed potatoes champ style. Not only that, but she went a little above and beyond with some very green potatoes... which I wasn't aware of until they were practically on my plate :p
Festive!
Jessie is Making Booties
Lately, we spend extra time every weekend planning for the baby. Today, we got some cute clothes (one outfit with some fun Asian pandas) and brewed up some ideas for the nursery. Jessie also spent some time crocheting booties - yay! They look awesome so far, I'll post some pics when they're finished.
20 Week Ultrasound
We had our 20 week ultrasound today and the verdict is in - we've got a little baby Dugas girl on our hands!! Jessie and I are super excited, and are really appreciative of everyone else that is sharing in our bundle of joy.
Watching the ultrasound at this point was really amazing.. it's like real-time video of our baby being active and just well, doing stuff in the womb. Her legs were crossed, she stretched out a bunch, and in this shot she was having a fine time sucking her thumb (she must take after the baby Jessie).
We'll be in the delivery room before I know it!
20 Weeks
Time is really flying by, and we've just landed on a big week. Not only are we roughly half-way to delivery, but we also purchased a bag of diapers today (marking our first official newborn-related product purchase).
Later this week, we'll head over to Bozeman Deaconess hospital to get an ultrasound and hopefully learn the sex of the baby. Jessie's been dying to find out, and I'm somewhat curious myself. She's been doing really well throughout her pregnancy and has not had any noticeable sickness or legendary *wacky cravings.
Attached is a photo of Jessie coming along at about 20 weeks.
* Jessie claims to not have any cravings, but she is definitely eating foods from her childhood that I've never seen her eat before... hmm!
I strongly disapprove of people linking to sites this way
Philly Cheese Steak Macaroni & Cheese
You've gotta taste it to believe it. This pasta dish brings back the flavors of the warm Philly cheese steaks I grew up enjoying. Thin macaroni gets a generous layer of seared, hand-shaved steak and a mixture of grilled onions, bell peppers and mushrooms. The plate is then topped off with a hot layer of provolone and white american cheese sauce.</drool>
Pupusas de Queso
Pupusas represent the national food of El Salvador. These warm, stuffed Salvadoran flatbreads are based on a simple mixture of masa (corn flour) with warm water. Inside pupusas de queso, we used a fresh mozzarella cheese that melted perfectly.
