21 weeks

Today was a great day! We went to our 21 week appointment and had an ultrasound. It was so amazing to see Bagel waving and dancing! We are very Blessed and love him/her so much!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Bill and I had a great time with Bob and Julie coming to Seattle for Christmas. It is always great to see family and spend time relaxing and talking.

This is my Christmas Eve dress for church, thanks so much to my friend at work.

Christmas 2009 Newsletter

Bill and I have had a wonderful 2009 and look forward to the exciting adventures of 2010!

Bill and I rang in 2009 in Leavenworth, WA with some friends. We enjoyed the German Christmas town, great food, shopping, and skiing at Steven’s Pass. This is were I decided skiing and snowboarding are not for me, but we all had a great time.
After living in downtown Seattle in a 787 square foot apartment for two years we decided to rent a townhouse in the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard. We have really loved living in Ballard and being able to walk to the grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants and a movie theater. We are really looking forward to buying a house in the next several months in Seattle.
In May, Bill and I went to Victoria, Canada for a long weekend to attend Bill’s Rotary regional conference. What an amazing city with beautiful buildings, flowers, shops and food! I was able to learn a lot about Rotary and was really glad we attended this year.

Bill and I were blessed to visit family and friends in Terre Haute, Indiana for a week in July. We enjoyed hanging out with everyone. Our parents were also able to visit a couple times this year so that was a true blessing to have them here, were we always spend time with great laugher and food.

As we quickly approach 2010 Bill and I are extremely excited to let you know that we are expecting our first baby May 20, 2010. God as truly blessed us. I will be leaving my job at Big Brothers Big Sisters in March to be a stay at home mommy. Bill continues to love Amazon where he stays very busy on a variety of projects. I am very proud of him and admire his hard work and determination.

We hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday! Many Blessings,

Bill, Sara, and Baby Bagel Nagel

"Toasting a Bagel"

Bill and I are 13 weeks pregnant! Our due date is May 20, 2010. We are so excited for this new adventure in our lives. We went to the doctor this week and our baby's heartbeat is 154 beats a minute and is growing healthy. It was so awesome to hear his/her heartbeat for the first time. Also she/he waved at us and is all smiles. Praise God for Baby Bagel!






All smiles for us!

Paper mache in Gas Works Park

The amazing view of the city we love from the park!


One night nothing was there, the next day these paper mache figures were at the park. Gotta love the creativity in Seattle!
