Catching Up!!

2008 is happily upon us and it's left me asking, "Where did 2007 go?". We haven't updated our blog in six months! I guess we'll start 2008 off with the speed readers recap of the 2nd half of 2007...

Summer was great, although it didn't really feel like we got much summer here in the Pacific Northwest. On one of the few nice days we took a day trip to the coast with our friends Laurie and Kira for a little digging in the sand and playing in the ocean.

Summer also brought one big milestone for Jayden, Potty Training. He mastered it just two weeks before his first day of Preschool. (Nothing like making mom sweat whether or not he was going to be able to start preschool.)

Toward the end of summer Tony and I celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary and earlier in August we also discovered that we were expecting our second child!

Fall brought all the usual celebrations, Halloween and pumpking "hunting". A Thanksgiving spent at home, nice and peaceful.

We paid extra attention to celebrate our last Christmas as the three of us. We made a trip to the zoo for Zoo Lights (in 30 degree weather!), Christmas Tree "hunting" (Tony actually managed to cut the tree all the way down this year), baking cookies and assembling gingerbread trains.

Don't even ask about New Years. Whatever happened after 9:30pm is a mystery to us.

So now the New Year has begun and we've begun a new year of excitement and joy. Our little boy is due the first week of April, although he will more than likely be born before April Fools Day. Big Brother Jayden has already attended Big Brother class, and loved every minute of it. He's very excited about the new addition and askes each week "Why my baby "brudder" taking so long to be born?" I can't wait to see the two of them together and all the adventures that will surely follow.

We will be sure to keep this blog updated now that we've rounded the crazy holiday season and have an upcoming new addition to celebrate.
