We’ve been receiving various inquiries as to the status of the baby. Needless to say…we are wondering as well. It still just seems to be hanging out and moving around. After a snow day today, it continues to be happy where it is. More updates to come 🙂

Kalona Cheese Factory
With Teresa in town, we decided to experience one of the most popular sites in the Iowa Corridor: 
the Kalona Cheese Factory. While we were visiting, there was a constant stream of people for the infamous cheese curds. We were lucky to see how these squeaky balls of goodness were made. Check out the video: Making Cheese.

St. Paul Porter
This past weekend Teresa and I brewed up a delicious looking batch of St. Paul Porter. It was a kit from Northern Brewer and has a dark color with lots of hops. It smelled delicious and hopefully in 4 weeks we’ll be able to taste the goodness. Until then, here are some pictures to enjoy.

Nursery Tour
After months of slow preparation, all is in order for the baby. The car seat is installed, the crib is assembled, and the changing dresser awaits. And the UPS lady is dropping of the diaper pail liners as I type. Here’s the mini tour of the new nursery:

Diaper Sprayer
As we gear up for the cloth diaper experiment, Elise found a sprayer online that attaches to a toilets water line. The premise is that you can spray off any nasty stuff. Well, not wanting to spend $50 on a glorified kitchen sink sprayer we decided to build our own. After learning (the hard way) the difference between fitted iron plumbing (FIP) and compression we finally got all the items we needed. Granted it took us three days and four trips to Menards. However, approx. $20 later and many hours of frustration we finally have the Poop Sprayer!

FYI: The baby’s due date is January 22nd.
