A preview of what Dan and I's kids might look like... 

Burk Kids. 

Zachary was great help at putting the gifts away. He was probably the only guy there too. 

My girl friends from UIUC, Judy and Carla. 

Here is my sister and my sister-in-laws at the shower. 

I went home to Chicago for a baby shower thrown by my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws. Here is the top tier of the three tier cake. Yeah, Mo went a little crazy.:) 

My parents visiting the weekend after Dave and Keri. We found some chinese herbal roots for my post-pregnancy recovery. 

Here is one of the Orcas one our boat ride at San Juan. 

Dave and Keri came and visited us...It was nice to have family visiting:) 

Dan and I returning to San Juan Island with Dave and Keri. It was where we got engaged. 

Here is Dan lounging on his Birthday on our balcony before work. He is on-call tonight:(. 

Here I am at 24 weeks, I don't know if you can tell that I got bigger. I sure feel bigger! I feel like i'm stuck on two outfits all the time! But the baby is kicking and Dan can finally feel it now! 

and the birthday boy and girl... 

Uncle Charlie 

Aunt Patty relaxing.. 

Birthday celebration for Aunt Patty and Dan. We had the Solversons over for an Asian feast of duck, california rolls (thanks for Isaac's help), miso soup, tempura, and yummy chinese cake. Here is the Solverson family except Becca (she coming home in two days from France). 

And here is me at home at 21 weeks and counting! The baby is kicking more and more. No specific pattern yet, but we are getting more and more excited! 

Dan with his yummy cheesecake! 

Here is us at the ER Roger's for our anniversary dinner by the Puget Sound.  

I (Jo) have been in Tacoma for about two weeks now. I am really enjoying the weather here and finally settled in our new home. Today is our two year anniversary and I look more and more PG. Dan has been great in helping me with my aches and pains:) He has been busy with residency, but he is really enjoying the people at work and we are finally making friends! 

This the last day of class for me in good old Detroit. Here, I'm with my roommate for the past month and friend, Kumba.  

Lori and Fritz Bocks has been our adopted parents in Michigan. We will miss them tons.

This is Lori, our spiritual mom. 

My going away/baby shower in Michigan. These ladies are from my small group and has played an important part of Dan and I's lives while we were there. They left me with so much blessings and words of enouragement. Truly a blessing from God. 

My family and my sister's new FIANCE. Yes, May is offically off the market! She is getting hitched June 24, 2006.
