Our Baby

We finally had our first ultrasound at 20 weeks and it was so exciting to see our baby! He decided to cooperate with us and we found out we are having a boy! It's so amazing to actually see your baby on the screen, to see their heart beating and to see them move - no words can fully describe the feeling. It's awesome to see how God "knits it together" and forms a life. Here is the first picture of little baby boy Finzel:

My Wife's Belly

So, I know some people have been asking for pictures of Danielle's belly (which, as a side note, must be a girl thing that I will never understand). Here are some pictures of my beautiful wife's cute pregnant belly!

This was taken today -- 5 months (21 1/2 weeks)

Azura

My cousin Azura is pretty much the cutest little girl ever...i can't seem to get enough of her cheerful personality and adorable smile! I pretty much want to steal her and claim her as my own child. Here are some pictures to prove her cuteness:

Our House

We just bought our first house in June of this year and we absolutely LOVE it! Even though there is a lot we want to "fix up" and change, we love being able to decorate (ok, i love being able to decorate...Mark doesn't really care that much) and have a place to call our own. For those of you who have been asking, here are a few pictures of the Finzel homestead:
