Stacy Pregnant Pictures

We really haven't taken many pictures of the pregnant Stacy. Here are a few from early November.

Ultrasound Pics

This is the 20 week +/- ultrasound pictures. And from the look of it... we're having a son. Enjoy.

I'll use the "lay-zer" unless... the World pays me one meeeelyon dollars!

Our boy appears to have a finger up near his mouth. The

Europe Vacation 2004

We were originally going only to Hamburg, Germany to attend the wedding of a good friend (to a Hamburger - sorry Philipp) and ended up wrapping some vacation around it. We spent a week on Lake Como in Italy. We then spent a few days in Hamburg for the wedding. We wrapped up the trip in and around Amsterdam. Despite being cool/cold most of the time (Stacy can only think of 5 times she was actually warm), we had a wonderful time. Being gone 16 days, we were glad to get home.

Lake Como, Italy

Our first destination was a little village named Varenna right in the middle (vertically) of the lake and facing Bellagio, Menaggio, Tremezzo, and other interesting towns. It was sunny for a few days but cloudly and cool the rest of the time with some rain/drizzle for mood. We mixed our time wandering the towns, walking in the hills, eating lots of yummy autumn Italian food (pumpkin gnocchi - yummmmm), and relaxing in cafes.

Approaching Varenna

This is a view of Varenna from the town just South. The Yellow villa just
under the steeple is the hotel (Hotel Villa Cipressi) in which we stayed.
The greenery all around the Villa are the botanical gardens.

restaurants are centered.

Exploring Varenna - Alley Stair

The town rises steeply out of the lake and many of the "streets" are simply wide
staircases. The steps are also quite slippery when wet. This is my attempt at an
"artistic" shot.

Exploring Varenna - Camo Tree + Sundial

They had these sundials in several locations in each town. Unfortunately,
there wasn't much sun during our trip so we only saw one work once. Also note the camouflage tree.
