Now for something completely different...

At long last, finally here!! Not the babies, silly. That's tomorrow... No, I mean the table Katie and I have been working on for the past few weeks. I finally got enough motivation (read: babies are coming tomorrow) to finish the table. So here it is:
SmallTable

BigTable

Like it? Me too! While I'm at it, here are some pictures from my field trip to NASA last week.



NASA MC1
The Apollo mission control!!!!! We got the VIP tour and actually got to go into the room instead of looking at it through the windows like the other tourists. This was where it all went down - I even got to sit in the Flight Director Gene Kranz's chair (you know, Ed Harris in Apollo 13). This was the highlight of the trip. I tried not to press too many buttons...

NASA Tank
The Neutral buoyancy lab. Where the astronauts practice their spacewalks. Those hoses at the top go to an astronaut currently training for her next mission. We got a cool tour from one of the divers and one of the astronauts. Stinkin' cool!

NASA MC2

Shuttle mission control. This is for the shuttle missions after liftoff. There wasn't a shuttle in space at the moment, so they were practicing scenarios while we watched. Also cool.

So, more pictures coming soon: they will be waaaaaay cuter! So excited!!!
