Baby Kuder!!!

We're expecting an addition to our family at the end of October. We are really excited and feel so blessed and also a little scared about this new responsibility. I had my first ultrasound last week and was amazed to see how developed the baby is, especially considering it's only 3-4 inches in size!

Ultrasound at 14 weeks

Since I'm sure people will ask -- no we don't know if it's a girl or a boy yet. It's still too early to tell, but we think we're going to wait and be surprised when s/he is born! It is amazing though to think that even though we don't know the sex or what he or she looks like all of that is already determined...God knows all the details about our child...how amazing!

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Psalm 139:13-17

Some recent pictures...

Well, it's been a while since I've updated this site and my friend Nate (a consistent blogger) requested some new posts! The first link is of Daniel surfing near our house. He got a surfboard for graduation and is learning to fit in with the surf culture of Atlantic Beach! The other link is some pictures from a trip I took for work to Nuremberg, Germany.

Disney Marathon

I said it last time and I'm saying it again, and I mean it this time (I think) -- "I will not run another marathon". At about Mile 20, I remembered why I said I would never do it again...but, I made it to the end on my feet -- Thank God!

Meeting Owen

I went to Pennsylvania in December to meet my very dear friend Melanie's son, Owen Charles Keath. Isn't he adorable?
