Fire up the BBQ!

Today we had a memorial day BBQ despite the nasty thunderstorms. We just moved everything in the garage where we partied & enjoyed three adorable babies (two couples brought their kids too). Later in the evening the weather cleared up so we relaxed in the hot tub! Very nice indeed! Even the newlyweds, B&M made it!

Family cat

Today we had to put G to sleep. She was my family’s cat that slept on my bed for many years & always licked you hello. She had bone cancer which had made her weak & difficult for her to move around. She was such a sweetheart. At least the process was quick & painless. It was heartbreaking to lose her but at least she’s in a better place now.

Two months

At two months, our son was 14 lb 8 oz & 24 inches! Wow! He’s pretty much out of newborn clothes now…

Road trip

This weekend our son went with us on his first vacation. We went to Saint Louis where we attended my college roommate’s wedding (R&E). On Saturday we had a family caricature done which turned out perfect! Our son was an angel for it. Will try to scan it soon so everyone can see it.

New construction

We bought a new house! Now we have a few things to fix up on the house up so we can have it on the market by the end of June. That should leave plenty of time to sell the house.

It’s an open floor plan of 2500 square feet with four large bedrooms each with it’s own walk-in closet, 2 & 1/2 baths & a full basement. We’re really excited about having a basement & space to grow into. This house is perfect for us. Very spacious, small country feel with room to grow, close to major shopping area & 5 minutes from the highway. It won’t be ready until November of this year. We should have an easy time selling our current house. It’s a great house with a great location.

We looked in our current area but couldn’t afford to stay in the area for the space we want. Too bad, but this works for us.

My 29th Birthday

Tonight we celebrated my birthday with dinner with friends at Olive Garden. It was so good seeing everyone again, especially those we don’t see often like B&S & S. & her two kids. We even met S.' fiance, K! Nice guy. Our son was very good while Daddy took care of him so Mommy could have some relaxation time with friends. Our little boy is the best!

First sniffle

Our son got his very first cold today. Started sniffling & generally fussy. Can’t blame him. Doctor said it should run its course in 10-14 days. It’s hard seeing him so helpless when you can’t make it better. One of the hard parts of being a parent…

Another happy wedding!

Attended B&M’s wedding where we had a great night out with friends. The guys smoked cigars while us women danced til the end of the night. Okay so the guys danced a little!

My folks watched our son overnight so we got our first night sleep throughout the night! We forgot how good that felt…

The wedding was beautiful, the vows emotional & the reception was beautiful! B&M looked great together. My hubby did a great job reading the poem for the ceremony as well.
