FestBlog 2009 (Day 7)

We had a doctor's appointment this morning including an ultrasound. Owen looks happy in there. He's presently estimated at 6 lbs., 14 oz., so he'll probably be a little over 7 lbs at birth. Kathleen has progressed a little towards labor (at least as compared to last week), however there don't appear to be any signs that he's in a hurry to get out of there. So, the expectation is that he'll come about on his due date or maybe a little later.

We had a nice time at Musikfest today, once again. The weather cooled down a lot today - and the humidity was much lower. It was really beautiful. We caught the entire concert by The Doc Marshalls, a band from NYC that plays Texas honky-tonk swing as well as cajun music. We saw them last year at Musikfest and at a concert in town in November, so we were really looking forward to this concert.

We also saw Carrie Rodriguez and her band at Liederplatz. Carrie is a Mexican-American singer/songwriter who plays the violin, mandolin, and guitar.

We met up with some friends of our tonight: Ethan, Jen, and their 2-year old son, Evan. Jen is also pregnant and just found out today that she's going to be having a girl! After watching a little of the Carrie Rodriguez concert with them, we tried to tire Evan out by walking him down Main Street. Evan and a few other toddlers were very entertained by the ragtime jazz band playing in front of the Hotel Bethlehem.
