I've already been to the window to see if there were reindeer - or perhaps stork - tracks on the roof, but as there is not yet snow, there is nothing to report.

To say that this is an exciting time seems trite. This is a time of uncharted anticipation and limitless speculation. There are so many variables at play - so many potential outcomes. Fantastic to think that so many questions will be answered in a split second.

How do you take it all in and process as fast as the information and stimuli bombard the senses. There will be sights, sounds, smells, touches, feelings, all vying for a place of permanence; to become part of the 'forever' record. How will my single memory do justice to the sheer magnitude of impulses.

Today is the day where KJ and I cross over the threshold and move from the seemingly insignificant countdown of 'lasts' to the limitless realm of 'firsts'. There will be many firsts today. It is a rejuvenation of life, a time for new beginnings. I'll stop there before I truly take on the sentiments of a Disney movie.

In other news, we got our DSL line worked out today here at the apartment and we have already successfully conducted two different video calls using iChat. Additionally we have carried out real time text conversations both through email and on Skype.

It is a fast moving world and we are thrilled to be able to use this technology to maintain relationships and share experiences. It was also great to see our dogs ears perk up when we asked them if they wanted to go for a ride. Deceptive perhaps, but heartwarming none the less.

I misspoke a bit yesterday when I said that we would be going to the Baby House first thing Thursday, for I later found out that we will be going from 2-4pm. That said, I still believe it is possible to be back at the apartment and to have photos up by 6pm here which translates to 8am on the East Coast.

Thank you all for your loyalty to our journey, your kind thoughts and words, and your love. We'll talk again on the other side. Take Care.
