I know, I know....




I know, I know - it has been a little while. Thanks Rachel for the nice email that in your sweet way got me off my tush and typin again :)


So - What's New? Here's the short version:


*Two weeks ago we had Brady babtized (pictures above)- it went really well with my brother and sister-in-law as Godparents


*We have started a new daycare and the kids have been there between two-three days a week while Ryan works. I am back to work full-time and Ryan is working two-three weekdsays and every weekend - saves money on daycare and allows us to spend more time with the kiddos.


*Allie has been in gymnastics one night a week and both kids have been doing ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) one night a week with me. This is keeping us busy but the kids are loving the extra activities.


*Brady is talking a ton now....especially the word "WHY". We had him assessed for speech but now he appears to be just about on target for his age...YEAH :)


*Brady will be joining a toddler group on Fridays to work with an OT and speech therapist through our school district's early childhood special ed. department. We are thinking this will continue to strengthen his skills.


*Brady continues to grow...in height e is but not in weight. He is a VERY busy little boy and thus burns off every little calorie - were still trying though with extra oil, pepporoni and penut butter at every meal...what I would do for that problem...


That's about it for now - sorry for the delay in posting - I promise to do better! Hope all is well with all of you.

So, so glad to give you the extra push!! Always love to see updates. Brady looks adorable and very happy!! Baptism is very special. I'm glad the day care situation is working out and that you can spend more time with the children that way. Hoping you update again soon ;o)

I've been checking in often too, so I'm so glad to see the updated post. I enjoyed seeing the photos and many congratulations on the baptism of Brady. I'm so glad that his speech is really picking up and that the kids are enjoying daycare and the other fun activities you have planed for them. We've been thinking about gymnastics too for our little one come spring. We didn't want to start too much all at one time.

We too have the same experience with height and not weight. And our daughter eats way more than our son. Wish I had her metabolism.

So glad you and your family are doing well!! Much love coming your way.

Great Pictures, everyone looks so happy and healthy. I have been so introverted lately, but let me know if you have time on an upcoming trip to the cities. Would still like to meet you! Although, I won't be available MEA weekend! Darn work meeting out of town. Why did they have to pick that weekend?!

I am so glad that you checked in. I've been wondering about you. Glad to hear Allie & Brady are doing good. I love the new family picture.
