Merry Christmas

With me being 35 weeks pregnant, Daniel and I decided that staying here for the Holidays was a good idea! So, we enjoyed a very quiet Christmas here at the house with all the animals!!

Gator... how cute!

The pups... our 3 plus Booboo (the Boxer) who is a good family friend!

Ike was so funny... he was like a statue!

3D Ultra Sound

Here are some pics of the 3D ultra sound we had done! It is becoming so real... yikes!!! I am 33 weeks when we had them done!

We started our Thanksgiving Day off with a 10k Turkey Trot and it was awesome!

This year, Thanksgiving was held at our house and my entire family was able to make it to Norfolk! Needless to say, we had a full house and it was a BLAST!

Thanksgiving Madness (cont.)

While Megan and gang were in town for Thanksgiving, we made a trip to the Va Beach Aquarium! It was the first time I had been to the Aquarium and I think I just as much fun as the kids did!

Maddie and Meg at the Aquarium!!

I felt like we were in the movie "Honey I Shrunk the Kids!" Look at the huge snake just in front of me!!! Unfortunately, Jack was not that thrilled!

Maddie and Jack!

Being dorks... but it was fun!

Halloween and Wicked 10K

So, we celebrated Halloween by running the Virginia Beach Wicked 10K with some great friends! The route was nice and flat, right on the boardwalk in VA Beach! Most people dressed up in costumes or in our case, were some what festive!

Army 10 Miler in DC

I finally got Daniel to DC... his 1st visit ever!! We went up for the weekend and did some quick sightseeing, but our main purpose for being there was to run the Army 10 Miler!!! There were over 30,000 runners and it is now my most favorite race ever! I was 23 weeks pregnant and felt awesome! Dan was sweet enough to run with me and it was experience I will never forget! We hope to make it back next year!

The day before the race at the Washington Monument... the race route took us past all the big monuments... it was awesome!

The reflection pool... standing at the Lincoln Memorial!

We made shirts to make the event more memorable! This was actually after the race! We finished in 1:30, I was happy with that!

Before the race with a group of ladies that I work with and the Pentagon in the background!

Dan's Birthday- Camping in OBX!

To celebrate Dan's 26th Birthday, I surprised him with a camping trip to the Outer Banks!! We were able to enjoy a long weekend on the ocean and had perfect weather. We were even able to take the pups and they had a blast!!

Our 3 mutts enjoying the KOA dog park!

The entire family on the beach... I am 21 weeks pregnant here!

One of our early morning walks!

Our little cabin... no we didn't sleep in a tent... I thought a cabin was appropriate considering I am pregnant!

Guess What!!

We're pregnant, I am 12 weeks along and am feeling much better than I have the last few weeks! Ironically, my due date is Jan.31st... the day after my birthday!!

Daniel and I are obviously very excited and can't wait for the newest addition to arrive!!

Little Baby McGourty!!

Looking down on the baby!


Baby's big belly and little crossed feet!

Another shot looking down!

Ulrich Family Reunion

At the beginning of June, the ENTIRE Ulrich Family got together for a huge Family Reunion up in Philadelphia! Daniel and I were able to drive up for the weekend and see how the Family has grown!!! My Grandmother now has 30+ grandchildren and 17+ Great-grandchildren... and at least 6 additional great-grandchildren on the way. Everything went great, although the weather didn't cooperate... fun was had by all!

T-shirts were made for each family- we were obviously lime green!


My mom and dad!

Some of my cousins, my aunt and the root of it all... Mommom!
