Here We Go

Well the busy time of the year is upon us and the big changes to our lives is here as well. First marching band has started and I am so excited for my band. Last night we marched our first halftime of the season and it was simply amazing. I know that it was the best this marching band has ever looked this early in the season. We looked and sounded as good as we did at the end of last season and that had been the best season ever in school history. This year is going to be a great one and it all goes to the kids. I really have the best students around. Yes every band director says that and yes we all do mean it. I absolutely love working in Lennox with these wonderful kids. We have this Saturday off but then start our competitive season next week with a parade in Menno on Friday and on Saturday we go to Luverne and to Brandon where we should do quite well. The remainder of the season will take us to Sioux Falls, Orange City and we finish in Vermillion. If you get the chance you should come out and see us at one of these competitions.

The other great change of course is with Baby Kosmo!!! Man he is getting big and I am getting impatient. I know what your all saying, Bob is getting impatient-that's something new! And I respond with--I Know I am always such a patient guy I don't know what is happening to me! CRAZY!!!

Here is what has been going on with the baby. Chels had an appointment this week and she is measuring 40 weeks but she is only 35 weeks along! So they have scheduled another ultrasound to check things out. They assume it is extra fluid, but it could be an extra large baby. (That is there nice way of saying he could be fat like daddy!). So we are going in on Tuesday morning to find out. Chels is really starting to get uncomfortable and is ready to meet this little guy. I can't wait to meet him. This whole process has really changed my views on things for the better, I have really grown the past 8 months and I know there is only more growing to come. Every day I look at Chels and realize how lucky I am to have married such a great woman, she is going to be a wonderful mother.

We are almost ready for the baby to arrive, we still have to get a bassinet but we can't find one that is cheap enough that we like. The ones we like are of course the most expensive ones out there, go figure! We also need to get some diapers and that may be about it. I am sure there is something else we need, but we haven't been parents before so we have no idea. Heck, I haven't even changed a diaper before! I'll bet that is going to change in the next month or so. As you can see from the pictures, we also have found some OU clothes for Kosmo! We found it all on one auction on Ebay and am so happy with it. It just arrived yesterday and we are even more excited for our son now. We now have an OU outfit to take him home from the hospital in. This boy is going to grow up being a Sooner fan!!! The first picture is what he's coming home in.

Other than that life is pretty normal! Ha, like anything is normal during a pregnancy! We'll keep you all posted. Keep your eyes on the blog as it will be updated with pictures as soon as I can get them up from the hospital. They have wireless so I will update the site as much as possible and I'll post some on facebook as well.
