Greg and Jess got to take a break from the kids and stay a few nights out in the desert at the La Quinta Resort. It was gorgeous and relaxing, but we missed the kids!

Happy Anniversary to us! It’s been five years, and here is what we have to show for it. One curly headed little man, and another little man on the way! Jess is ready for baby to come anytime now, so we tried to get some last minute pictures with Liam. He fits nicely right underneath Mommy’s ginormous belly :)

Second part in our Austin trip with Dan and Jimmy.  We tried to hit as many hot spots in Austin as possible.

Another night on the town at world famous Stubbs BBQ with Dan and Jimmy which we followed up with a trip to the Spider House, one of their favorite watering holes.

On our last day in Austin we went to a park in their neighborhood and let Liam play around.  Of course he met a girl and she fell for his charms.

Finally, our last couple nights we spent at a brand new resort, JW Marriot in San Antonio, that had a huge water park with lazy river that Liam loved.  Jess was there for a conference but the dudes got to just relax.  All and all it was fun, and I couldn’t get enough of those Texas skies.

We’re on a long weekend trip to Austin and San Antonio, partly for Jess’s work and partly for fun to hang out in Austin with her brothers.  We flew out Friday morning, March 12th, and went for some good Tex-Mex at Trudy’s near University of Texas.  Saturday morning we took a stroll through downtown and went to the huge state capital building.  We then took a stroll around the river, which was extremely crowded which is because this weekend is the beginning of South By Southwest Music/Film festival which means tons of people, traffic, and good music.

We took Liam to the zoo last weekend and had a good time. Here are a few shots from our trip. Liam loves the playground, and Greg is teaching him how to cross the monkey bars. Our little guy will be 18 months on MONDAY!! I can hardly believe it.

It was a very nice day today in San Diego, mid-70’s, but we decided to make a trip up to Julian to do some light hiking and maybe catch a glimpse of snow.

Great panorama shot I put together overlooking Anza Borrego Desert in the distance.

Although most of the snow was gone, it was still a beautiful day and we had a great time walking around downtown Julian grabbing some lunch and of course a delicious apple pie.  Later we let Liam loose in the countryside and he tore it up.

We first stopped by Lake Cuyamaca, but there was no holding Liam back from the water so we had to jet.  He just wants to get right in and start swimming with the ducks.

Ready for the Super Bowl Festivities... Go Colts!!!

Little late on this post, but here are some pictures from our second leg of our Christmas tour.

These next ones are Liam and Cole at the Dues where we hung out with Steve, Candy, Mike, Monica, Brad and Natalie.

Our last stop was to see Julia and Rick which meant Liam got to hang out with Aliya.  Liam loved all the Warren girls.

Liam took part in his first Halloween trick or treating as well as his first costume party extravaganza at our friend Pete's house and surrounding neighborhood...

For a detailed look at his historic journey check out his route in spooktacular Point Loma.

He was Nemo, from "Finding Nemo", and we were Dr. and Mrs. P. Sherman from 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. Or for the people who have no idea what I'm talking about, the scuba divers from Sydney that took Nemo away... If you haven't seen the movie then it will really make no sense to you.  So our costumes were really lame, but he looked great thanks to his outfit that my sister Stephanie bought for him, thanks Steph.  Besides being incredibly tired and somewhat blasé about the whole thing, he ended up really enjoying Pete's party and was a hit with the "ladies" (older girls dressed as princesses, you know who you are.).

We made the trip back to Indiana to visit family, and a catch a few Phish shows. Liam stayed cool in the heat in his baby pool at Grandma & Pa Roberts, while Mommy and Daddy melted in the lot at the show with Brad and the Dues (it was 95 degrees and humid)! We then headed North to the Lake House where Liam met his Great-Grandma & Pa Brown for the first time, and had lots of laughs with his crazy Uncles. It was a short trip but we all had fun :)

Liam's new favorite thing to do is stand up under the dining room table, right in the middle where no one can reach him unless you get down there with him!

Just a quick update on our busy bee Liam. He is standing and "cruising" along the couch, and crawling at amazing speeds. He's found a cheesier smile, and likes to make an angry face now too. We went hiking a few weekends ago in Encinitas, and then took a road trip up to Palomar Mountain and visited the big telescope there. Liam loves being attached to daddy :)

Aunt Christy was here visiting over the weekend, so we took Liam to the zoo. He was a good boy and was awake for some of the day, but then slept through the rest of the time :) He's getting bigger every day!

Greg and Jess celebrated their 2-year wedding anniversary last week - can't believe it! Daddy has been feeding Liam a bottle every night and giving mommy a break. Jess's friend Erin came to visit this weekend and got to spend some time with Liam. We all went out to dinner for some good seafood and had a good time!

Jess's Aunt and Uncle came to visit Liam this weekend. We all went for a walk down the pier and had a great time holding baby Liam. Liam also went on his first walk in the Bjorn, he didn't mind it an fell asleep :) He's still being a great little baby!

Here is the latest pic of mommy-to-be, and a few shots of the baby's room. The doctor says everything is coming along normally. I think we're ready!?!?!? No turning back now for sure!

Jess's friends had a shower for her this past weekend, and "Aunt Amy" came down from San Francisco to join the fun. Then we went to dinner with Pete at the Hibachi grill - yummy! Only 5 weeks until the due date!!

Jess is due exactly 2 months from today - September 17th. Baby's definitely getting bigger, but the prenatal yoga helps a lot!

Greg and Pete took on the the task of filling in the loft upstairs in the baby's room. Here are some of the pictures of the project, which left the house in chaos for almost a week. Turned out great! Now we just have to paint and decorate before little Roberts arrives!

Greg turned 30 on June 28th - so we all went out for dinner and beers (and water for Jess), then we headed back to our place for a little Rock Band on the XBox. Stay tuned, more pictures of the expecting parents rocking out!

Our friends Luke and Kathleen rented some GoCars for a birthday stroll through downtown San Diego.  The cars are basically modified scooters with three wheels and go about 35mph.  We had about 8 of them and our gang took over the streets of San Diego.  Watch out Hells Angels...

Jess had her baby shower with family and friends at Greg's Aunt Kathy's house in Noblesville. Uncle Dan and Uncle Jimmy both got to see their prego sister and were pretty fascinated with her growing belly! Baby Roberts got lots of great things. Only a few months left until he arrives!

The 3 of us flew back to Indiana for Jess's good friend Christy's wedding. It was a beautiful day, and a lot of fun! Grandma and Grandpa Gray also joined the festivities and were able to spend time with us at the rehearsal and wedding. Here are some pics of the pregnant bridesmaid!

Jess's parents came out for Memorial weekend to see their pregnant daughter for the first time in person, and to celebrate Jess's birthday. Baby Roberts got some cute little outfits (Go Cubs) and also a little brown onesie that looks just like daddy's work shirt :) We went out for a nice brunch at the 94'th Aero Squadron restaurant so Jess's dad could check out the airplanes. It was a quick visit, but we all had a great time!

Jess and I went to New Orleans last weekend for my sister's graduation from Tulane university.  It's the first time both of us have been there since Katrina and it was interesting to see how much things have progressed.  The graduation was in the Superdome and we stayed in the French Quarter just a few streets off of Bourbon.  The trip was fun, although preggers was on the sidelines and couldn't earn any beads :(

James Carville and his wife were the speakers at the graduation which was very interesting, but slowed down once they started to announce all of the names one by one for several hours.  We used the time to help us think of baby names, but it didn't help too much.  Here are some of our pictures, you can see them all on our flickr page.

Jess got her big ultrasound today and we finally know the gender!  Yes, the Roberts bloodline will live on :)  I'm sure you were all worried.  We had all of the checks done and it looks like he is going to be a healthy baby weighing in around 8.5lbs.

Pete and I went to the Red Bull Air Race at the San Diego Bay today.  This was the second time that we've gone and is always interesting to see how crazy these guys are.  We stood on the downtown side this year and we were able to see most of everything without actually paying to enter the "viewing" area.

Today we went to the Earth Day fair in Balboa Park downtown.  It was like a phish show without phish... I'm sure some of you will understand.  Anyway, lots of drum circles, solar panels, multi-colored trash cans, activists, and stinky hippies :)   Jess's friend Amy was in town for just the weekend and we decided to check the fair out before dropping her off at the airport.

Jess and I took a much needed night out last Wednesday (April 16th), and went to the sold out Eddie Vedder (pearl jam) show at Spreckles Theatre downtown.  The show was the last of a small tour that he did to help promote the "Into The Wild" dvd release, of which he did the whole soundtrack.  If he haven't seen the movie or listened to the soundtrack both are worth picking up.

We had our 17 week visit today and all is still good.  The next visit is the big one because we find out the sex and get a lot of time with the ultrasound machine.  Here are some pics of what Jess looks like now...

I think she is beating me now..

Well we are 4 months in and somebody's pants don't fit...

It's time to go shopping.

Jess went solo on this trip, as I was stuck at the gas station with a dead battery (good ole american cars).  All of the tests that we got the results for looked good, no third leg yet.

Yep that's right Jess is pregnant and we've got our first ultrasound to prove it...

Well we broke a record this year with 3 preggers on the ski trip!!! My lack of pictures this year sucks, but I know Mr. Dluzyn has some. I'll work on getting those soon. Click on the images and you can see the full size on our flickr page.

This first map shows where most of these pics were taken. The second is where our place was. Click on each to see the pinpoint.
