Settled in Kansas: 9 Months and Counting...

We are finally settled in here in Kansas, and closed on our house in Houston yesterday. We will really miss it, and all of our good friends there! We've only been in KC for 2 1/2 weeks, but it seems like much longer - perhaps because I am carrying a watermelon around on my front!

Earlier this week, I officially reached 9 months. Baby Cami is due Nov. 12, and we are ready for her (or as ready as we can be). As the photos indicate, our childbirth classes have been very enlightening, particularly for Chris! While he denies it, I feel he truly enjoyed wearing the empathy belly :). We take our hospital tour tonight, and I am very interested in exploring what they call the "nourishment room". Once the baby comes, my gestational diabetes should fade quickly, and I will get to taste the sweet goodness of the holiday season, at least in moderation. We'll make sure to post some pics of the little sweetie soon after birth!

Chris is enjoying his job here with Office Depot, where he is developing contracts for education and government business. I have mostly been trying to get our things organized here in our temporary location, my parent's house, and searching the area for a new home. We've also been able to spend lots of time with family, especially my nieces and nephews, who can be very entertaining. So that is life in Kansas - we'll keep you updated about the birth & more!

We're Moving!

Yes, our time in Texas has come to an end and as of October 1st we will be living in Kansas City, Kansas! Chris took a promotion at work and we are thrilled to be living so close to Carrie's family.

Pictured on the right is our life over the next few weeks. We are still anxiously awaiting Cami to come into our lives and we have quite a few things to take care of before we can pack it up and head out of town. Still, we're really excited and glad to be in Kansas.

A Pregnancy Photo

It dawned on us today that we have taken relatively few photos of Carrie's pregnant belly. With her recent growth spurt, it has become pretty big, and we though you might all want to see it. Ta da!

Air Peaches

There is no greater controversy in the Diggins universe right now than the one centering around our cat Peaches. This photo makes him look acrobatic and downright lovable. However, the truth is he like to bite and has taken to destroying our furniture. Can he learn to change his behavior? Will he be safe around the baby? Only time will tell.

80's Fashion - lookin' good!

As per request, I am posting a couple of pictures from a recent 80's birthday party we attended. Chris' mullet wig is quite possibly the most repulsive thing on the planet - a drastic change from his normally handsome and stylish persona...

In the Beggining....

With three months to go until little Cami arrives, we need a place to store millions of baby pictures - welcome to our solution!

Carrie and I would like to greet you and hope you have a blast catching up on all things Diggins. Please feel free to enjoy our vacation photos, silly moments, musings on life and all the family news thats fit to print. (Also the occasional college football prediction - I'm a solid 56% A.T.S., so pay attention.)

Here's what our situation looks like in a nutshell (somebody please help get our situation out of this nutshell!): We're living in Houston, Texas and it's hot. Carrie is now six months pregnant with our first baby, a girl that we will name Cameron Michelle (she prefers Cami for now). We're trying to get out and see the world before the blessed event, so tons of vacation photos to follow. We will also post our opinion on a variety of topics (wait for Carrie's television reviews and political rants, in addition to my recipe of the month). Glad to have you with us. Take Care!
