Horton Thanksgiving 2007

Mom and Dad Horton joined us for Thanksgiving this year. While I had big ideas of things to make, we decided to take it a bit easier this year and go with the no-so-traditional lamb dinner. Yum! Everyone cooked and we finished the meal with Edna's Chocolate Souffle from the Fearrington Inn in Chapel Hill, NC.

New Diagnosis

As most of you know, we are expecting little Potoshnick to arrive in February. Due to some scheduling issues, and because everything appeared normal, we pushed back our 20 week ultrasound to week 24. However, we received an unexpected ‘diagnosis’ during our appointment this past Friday…twins! Yes, it is true, we are soon to be the proud parents of two babies! Though completely unexpected, in hindsight, knowing that we are having twins makes sense (no wonder Nicole’s belly seemed to grow overnight!). We are elated and a little overwhelmed with the news, yet so thankful that Nicole and the babies are healthy.

From here on out, ultrasounds will be done at the hospital and apparently, this will be a regular thing. We had been planning on not knowing the gender ahead of time, but I think that since we've had our 'surprise,' it may be a good idea to know what is coming!

New House

While we are still living with Pish's folks, we are now official residents, er, home-owners again. While processing what needs to be done before moving in, we decided to gut the kitchen. The demolition started last night around 8 PM and continues today. Pish is doing a great job and I, Nicole, am doing a great job of resting...

Istria, Croatia

A view of the city of Rovinj.

Though I can't recall the name of these flowers, they were all over the coastline.

Roman ampitheatre in Pula.

We stayed at a cozy farmhouse outside of Pula, named Skabe. Owned by the same family for many generations, they grow much of their own food and bottle their own wine. We had a chance to try Croatian specialties, snack freshly picked cherries, taste the homemade grappa, and sample the prosciutto.

Our favorite beach...

There is a bun in the oven!

Croatia Trip

We just got back from Croatia. Here are a couple pictures.

This is a beach on the Istrian Peninsula that we hung out at for a few days.

This the city of Dubrovnik, in southern Croatia, as seen from the city wall.
