Hello!!! As you can see I have been busy uploading pictures today!!! I hope everyone enjoys them!!! It is truly a perfect day today. The sun is shinning, its not too hot, and not too cold, the trees are starting to turn all sorts of beautiful colors, and the smell of fall is in the air. I love days like today...This morning Baxter, Bella and I went for a walk around 7:30...it was perfect! There was hardly anyone outside and the sun had just begun shinning...we walked for about two hours today!! Needless to say both dogs are pretty much dead on the floor sleeping right now!!! Oh what can I tell you this week?! Well I have pretty much re-gained most of my energy that seemed to be gone the first couple of months of my pregnancy. All I seem to do lately is clean, it is like something inside of me has possessed me to make sure every spot of my house is spotless (I even went through all my make up today and wiped every individual thing down, crazy huh?)...I have read that can happen to some pregnant women!! Obviously it has happened to me, poor Paul...I am anal enough as is, now I am really anal!!! Oh well :) As I said before, it has been truly beautiful around here lately...I love fall! I even went and bought pumpkins today!!! I think Sept., Oct., and November are my most favorite months of the year...OHH!!! Exciting news in New Ulm this week...WE HAVE A DRUG STORE!!! Haha, thats right our first Walgreens opened up this week!!! I am so excited!!! It opened yesterday, and I can't beleive I haven't been there yet- Don't worry though, I am going there as soon as I finish this :) Can you tell I am supper happy about this Walgreens!!! Haha...its the little things that just make me so happy!!! I have my third doctors appt. this week, and I am pretty sure I am going to have to give blood again...I hate those needles so much!! Hopefully I won't ball my eyes out this time...I am such a baby when it comes to needles...oh well. Tomorrow begins my 16th week of pregnancy, and I am just starting to show a little...I am pretty sure I lost some weight recently, however I am starting to gain some back in my belly...but thats supposed to happen. My Doctor was worried at my last appt. actually because I had lost 4 lbs, since the visit before, which was only two weeks before that!!! Have no fear, I am eating though- I just working out alot more, and not drinking beer...It helps!!! Every day I get a little more excited about the baby and a little bit more nervous about the delivery... But like my Mom and I said today, if thousands of other women have done it, I can do it too (I hope!) Anywho, not too much new with Paul, he is off in Edgerton today coaching his high school bowling team today. Once he gets home we are off to a wedding dance...for those of you who know Chad (our manager at the bowling alley/bar where Paul and I worked) is getting married today. And it just so happens the reception is at Kegel (the bar I worked at)- So that should be alot of fun, not to mention I can still watch my Michigan Wolverines destory the stinky Minnesota Gophers. GO BLUE!!! Tomorrow I have to go to the Twins game with Paul and a couple of our friends....Like I told Mom today, I should put on my Tiger sweatshirt for the occassion, however I am afraid I might get killed by other fans...Well I hope all is well with you guys!! Miss you all dearly and think of you often!!!
With Love, Renee, Paul, Baby, Baxter and Bella

Our First House
Here it is guys! Paul and I's first house together...I do like it, it is so much better than my apartment!!! I have made it into a cute and cozy home...Baxter and Bella, love having a yard to run around in as well...
New address:
Paul and Renee Holm
321 South Jefferson
New Ulm, MN 56073
As you can see I spared you the bedrooms. Our room isn't complete yet (and its messy) and the baby's room right now is my "catch all" room until I find a dresser for Paul and I :)
Also, don't look at the dog toys on the floor or the sick husband on the couch!!! Haha!!!

Sorry I can't show you more pictures from the wedding and Las Vegas, there are just so many I would love to show you, however I don't want to bore you with pictures either!!!

Our first Blog!!
So I got this idea from the Ehlke family, and thought this would be a great idea considering most of our friends and family are spread all over North America as well!!! This way we can keep in touch with everyone using our blog...
Since, it is already getting below 50 degrees in Minnesota I figured I would update you on all the happenings of Paul and I's summer...It was a busy one!!!
As most of you know, our wedding was June 3, 2006 in Michigan, and to be completly honest I couldn't of asked for a more perfect day. (It did rain-I am still waiting to get rich!!!- But it did not spoil our day) It was a perfect day, I (almost) made it through the entire ceremony without crying, but knowing the sap I am...I balled...But the reception was a blast, I have to give my Mom credit for getting Mark from Alexo's to do our catering, that was the best wedding dinner I have ever had- (well the couple bites I had was amazing!!!) The dance was a blast, our DJ even told us, that our friends and family knew how to party!!! So way to go guys!!! The day after the wedding- Paul and I headed to Las Vegas for our honeymoon...What an amazing city!!! I had never been there before, however Paul had, so it was kind of nice because he knew what we shouldn't waste time on seeing and what we should see...and of course we spent plenty of time in front of the pool. You got to love sitting at the pool at nine am. with a margarita in hand!!! LOVE VACATION!!! So despite us not winning the big jack pot or anything, we did have a wonderful time in Las Vegas. Shortly after returning to Minnesota we purchased our very first house!!! It is an older, two bedroom house- but perfect for what we need right now...The couple that lived there before us had just re-painted and put in new carpeting so there wasn't too much that needed to be done immediately...Gents, we did get a house with not only a one stall garage, but also a three stall. Paul has big plans to insulate the three stall and build a tool bench and bar out there this winter...I told him to put a TV and a couch out there as well and he would never need to come in the house!!! Haha!! Anyways, so after we bought a house, a week later Renee found out she was pregnant!!! Within 6 weeks Paul and I got married, went on our honeymoon, bought a house and got pregnant!!! Apparently we work fast!!! Haha- No we had planned to have a baby, however we didn't think it would happen so fast, but apparently I am pretty fertile!!! So sometime around March 20th there will be a little Holm running around!!! Watch out world!!!
Other than that, Paul and I have spent the majority of the summer unpacking and making our house a home!!! Two weeks ago we did get to hear the babys heart beat...A sign of life!!! It was so exciting!!! But that brings us to now...and its starting to get cold...I thought Paul was nuts this morning when I saw him with his winter coat on, but here I sit in a turtle neck sweater!!!
Hope all is well with all of you- We will keep you in touch as to what is new with us!!! Take Care! ~ Renee, Paul, Baby, Baxter and Bella ~
