When will Connor be born?

So we did this with Anja's birth and to continue with the tradition, I put the following poll together with my favorite website, that's right, Mr. Poll.

Anyway, I know the moon phases were a big hit with Carrie's due date so here they are for you below. I actually think Tom and Michael won using that method.

FIRST QUARTER
AUG. 31

FULL MOON
SEPT. 7

LAST QUARTER
SEPT. 14

Anyway, here is the link to the poll. The poll only allows for a vote for ontime, early or late, soooooooo, in the comments of this blog and through phone calls/emails/etc. I will gather everyones guesses and post them as they come in....

That being said vote and guess away!
PS - Actual due date is September 1st.

It's been awhile, or so they tell me...

I understand that the fans have been checking out the site and not finding new posts to read. I am really sorry about that guys...

So, alot has been happening since last we wrote, first things first though, I need to thank Mom and Dad. Since I started school full time, I lacked the funds to keep xenson.com running, they quickly stepped in to supply the necessary capital.

Anyway, on to us. This past weekend was a very busy weekend for us. Friday I woke up and went fishing with some of the guys from school. We went out on a charter boat and fished for Cod. I was the only one to catch a keeper but never ate it...ok don't ask why.

Saturday, Jessica and I woke up to beach it for the morning. Crane's beach was the beach of choice and while there were green heads there, Jessica was smart enough to pack the bug spray which kept them on our neighbors instead of us :). We came home and while Jessica took Jax to the park for some swimming, I stayed at home to work on school work.

Sunday we went to Lisa's Cape house on Chappaqoit Island and spent the day down there working on our tans and relaxing, it was hard work! Jessica was nice enough to drive which allowed me to read and get the rest of my work done. I was surprised to find that there was very little traffic on our trip home.

THEN, IT WASN'T OVER! Julie came to Boston on business and spent some time with us last night looking at wedding pictures and drinking wine from our new crystal. Funny thing about that wine, it tasted much better from that glass :).

Finally, my first semester in school is now over and I am happy to report that all is well. The second semester is well underway and things seem to be going just as well for me. I couldn't do it without Jessica working hard to keep paying our bills.

If you ever come to Boston, drop us a line..hopefully I won't have an exam and we can grab a drink of dinner.

Long Weekend

Hi to everyone. We are back to the daily grind today after a beautiful and relaxing 4 day weekend. Rich started his next summer semester today. Econ, Statistics and Accounting, better him than me! I am back at my desk trying to make it through the day. Saturday we drove to Rome. We met up with Jared and Jess and headed over to the lake. After a few hours on the boat we headed in for dinner at Charlotte's Creekside out on their deck. Sunday we lounged in the morning and then met up with Jared and Jess and went to Sylvan Beach for lunch with Dad and Debbie and played some sweet arcade games. Sunday night we christened Jared & Jess's new house with theit first dinner party which finished off with homemade peach shortcake, mmmm! Monday we went boating with Mom and Chuck. The weather was perfect. I took some driving lessons and learned how to dock that beast of a party barge. We stopped off at Kik and Teds dock to say hi since they were home too. Scott brought his little beagle Lucy out for a while and she was so good! If only Jax hadn't discovered swimming, he would be a much better boating companion. That night we had a July 4th picnic on Mom's deck and then headed back out on the boat to eat our flag cake and watch the sun set. Tuesday morning we collected wedding and shower gifts, packed the car and headed home. We unpacked and went to Wellesley for a bbq at our friend Lisa's and then went to watch fireworks in Newton. We made it home from those just in time to watch the fireworks on the Charles in Boston. We could kinda see them from our living room windows. We also were watching on TV and had the windows open so we could hear all the booms. It was pretty cool and the fireworks were impressive as always.

It is back to Rome this weekend for Kimberly and Dave's wedding! It will be fun to be part of their day while remembering all the fun and excitement of ours. We are actually considering an anulment so we can do it all over again :). We also hope to return to Rome to find the Malibu Maxx as good as new! Hope everyone is well. Love you all.
