Another Clark/Walker/Anderson

It looks like we aren't going to be able to make it to Clarkmas this year. We will miss you all dearly and if plans change and we're able to make it we certainly will. With that being said, we won't be able to make our announcement in person, so I figured the Blark was as good a place as any. We found out we're expecting baby #2 in June. We're super excited! Clark of course doesn't really know what's going on, although we talk about the baby all the time. He loves babies and points them out every time we're in a store. He doesn't even have to see the actual baby, just the infant car seat is enough. He gets so excited and says, "baby, baby, mama, baby." Hopefully this is a good sign for when we bring home a baby of our own :)

Here's the only picture we have so far of our little one. It was taken three weeks ago at my first doctor's appointment. It kind of looks like a little cocoon, but in the last few weeks he/she now has arms, legs, and facial features. It was awesome to see there actually is a little baby and to hear he/her heartbeat so loud and clear.

At last I'm in!

I've been trying to figure out how to get onto the blog, and I've finally managed it. Life is difficult in this 21st century for a Luddite such as myself, but it's done and I can now chatter away at will.

Murry and I are heading off in a couple of weeks for south Alabama to spend Thanksgiving with the Bentleys. We always have a fine time, and I'm sure this will be no different. We'll be staying with Bud and Sharon in Pensacola, so there will be walking on the beach for us. Eat your hearts out the rest of you.

The kitchen remodel planning continues apace. In fact a contractor is supposed to come by this afternoon to discuss the project so he can give me a bid. Stay posted.

Bass Lofts

 See the gym floor - they put residences in the gym.  Apparently they have very tall ceilings.

Courtyard behind the bleachers.  They've created this cool little pedestrian street and people have their patio furniture out there.  It's very community oriented and cool.  I'm sure it's been the scene of countless high school transgressions over the years.

 "hey, who are you and why are you taking a picture of me outside my condo!"

 signage on the steps leading up the gym. 

"hey - you again; and how'd you get inside.  We will cross our arms and judge you.  Well, ok, you seem to be a good guy, take your pictures and stay with us.  We will go buy retro t-shirts and puma tennis shoes.  And wear our sunglasses when it's not very sunny outside." 
You can see the sloped ceiling under the bleachers above.  the ceilings at the tall end were about 18' and then more like 7' over at the short end.  Very cool place.

Hey folks - long time no post.  I took these pictures back in the spring/summer when I went to visit a friend in Atlanta who lives under the bleachers of the old Bass School, of which I believe several of you Blarkers are alumni.  Enjoy.
