WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

We have a serious issue on our hands and we need your help. Hannah has been hitting the bottle pretty hard lately upon hearing the news that she's going to be a big sister in the near future. It hasn't been the "made from concentrate" stuff either, but she's pounding the 100%. Yesterday Hannah hit rock bottom as you can see in the pictures below. Her drinking buddy Pink "pup-pup" Puppy can also been seen in the pictures as they are generally inseparable. Please help us in anyway you can, by writing letters to Hannah, talking to her on the phone or coming over and holding her on your lap as she dejuices.

Thank-you and God Bless,

Travis and Kristina
Concerned Parents





P.S. You can also see in the pictures that Little Red Riding Hood has also been affected by this tragedy. She has stopped going to see her Grandma altogether.

We are proud to announce...........

Andrew Powell Rhodes will be arriving sometime late May, early June according to our 20 week ultrasound. Needless to say we are super excited, especially Travis, to have a little guy running around our house. Hannah is going to be a great big sister to little Andrew. Our heads are spinning now, though, since we have more girl stuff than we know what to do with and no boy stuff. Thankfully Kristina has lots of great friends willing to throw her baby showers!!

I've put together a flash slide show of the ultrasound pictures and some pictures from our dinner where we found out we were having a boy. If you can't see the slide show just email Travis or Kristina and we'll be sure to either fix it (if its a group problem) or email you the pictures separately.

The dessert was deep fried cheese cake. I'll let the awesomeness of how that sounds sink in for a second..................

It was extremely delicious and our waiter did an excellent job of decorating it with the blue ribbon.

BIG Day Tommorw

As the title says, Friday the 17th is going to be a BIG day for our family. It's the day we finally find out if our next baby is either going to be Lydia Catherine Rhodes or Andrew Powell Rhodes.

Our plan is to go out to dinner at our favorite restaurant, Mikuni's, as a family with an envelope containing the doctors prognosis as to the sex of the baby. We then will hand the note to our waiter or waitress and instruct them to bring us out a desert with a blue theme if its a boy or a pink theme if its a girl. This is how we roll.

I will be sure to post a blog as soon as we get home with the good news and hopefully some really great ultrasound pictures to boot. To commemorate this glorious event I've put together a short film of Hannah during her first 48 hours on this earth to get us, and everyone else, all pumped up into baby mode.

Hannah loves her Bubbles!!

Here is a somewhat long clip of Kristina and Hannah enjoying bubbles in the kitchen together. I tried to edit out some of the slower parts, but there was just so much cuteness going on that I wasn't able to shorten it by much. I hope you all enjoy!!

The firsT

I'm up way to late at the moment, but I wanted to put up the first post of our newly created family blog. I'm going to use this space to keep friends and family up to date on the "haps" of our "fam". Mostly it will be used to post videos of Hannah because I'm pretty sure that once she was born interest in either Kristina, or more importantly, me has reached an all time low.

Hopefully we can keep it up to date on a fairly regular basis. If you haven't heard from us in awhile just start bugging me (travis) and I'll get on it.
