Ann and I had nice visits from both of Ann's parents this weekend while they were both swinging through town. Unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of them while they were here. We did have some nice dinners with them both and some yummy homemade french toast. 

Ann had to take an action shot of me making the Tiramisu that we took to a Memorial Day cookout at Josh's place. The tiramisu turned out really well. 

A shot of Ann and I at the bowling alley. Unfortunately we lost all three games that we played against Kim and Josh. I'm sure I won't hear the end of it until we have a rematch. 

Here are Kim and Josh at Josh's place. We celebrated Memorial Day on Sunday with a cookout at Josh's house and then went bowling.

Ann and the Augster at the start of our walk along the river. This was taken in front of the newly renamed Warhol bridge in honor of the eccentric artist. 

A bad picture of me, because I'm standing in the shadow of PNC Park (where the Pirates play) with the Pittsburgh skyline in the background. We were walking Auggie along the river. It was a gorgeous day!  

Our friend Andy came down to Pittsburgh for the weekend to help with an art show at the Mattress Factory. We were on our way to grab a couple of beers and some wings. 

Our friends, Lorne and Kara, gave Ann and I a sushi kit. I took my first stab at making some Crab and Vegetarian Maki (sushi rolls). They turned out to be very tasty!  

You can see Auggie in the foreground playing with some of his buddies in Bradford. These are all purebreds - there's a Boston Terrier (Auggie), a Golden Retriever (Digger), a Newfoundland (Kathe), and a Shar-Pei (Enid). What a crew! 

Here's a shot of Ann at 16 weeks with her first pair of maternity jeans. Most of her other pants have become a bit snug. She's starting to show a little :) 

Ann and I went shopping down in Pittsburgh's strip district for the first time this year. The strip has tons of great stores, especially those that offer very fresh local produce at great prices. Ann took this shot just outside of a great Italian grocery called Pennsylvania Macaroni Company. 

Ann's second appointment

Today Ann had her second appointment. The highlight was that we got to listen to the heartbeat. As far as weight gain, Ann is a whole three pounds heavier than her last appointment, however, the doctor said that she is right on track as far as weight gain goes. After the next appointment, on June 9th, we will hopefully be able to tell everyone the gender. What do you think--girl or boy???

Ann and I planted some flowers around the house today including a few in this little "Brooks" flower pot. Notice the ladybug welcome sign stuck in the soil. Pap's nickname for Ann is ladybug. We thought it was cute.
