Hello Everybody! Here is Sean and Gramps enjoying some licorice. It was Sean's first and he loved it. Of course he decided to hug Gramps after this picture and get Gramps white shirt all pink and sticky. It was great! Brian, Sean and I just took Sean to Little People Portraits and had his one year pictures done as well as some family shots. They turned out really nice and I am glad! Wallats are on there way!

Well, Sean's birthday is right around the corner. It is amazing to me how quickly a year goes by. So much has happened....WOW!! Brian and I are beginning to look around for a new house. One with hopefully one more room because otherwise we will have to move all our office furniture to our bedroom, so that the office can become another baby room. I totally thought that we would be in this house longer than that but life changes so quickly. We will not be looking to put our house up for sale or anything like that until another year due to the way we structured our loan (like I said, we thought that we would be here a minimum of 3 years). But, the cool thing is that their is another development that we like that is literallly down the street from our current home. The model homes are not done yet to look at but I already know the community and have been in one of the homes because Laurie's sister in law lives in the home that we are hoping to get in about a year and a half. It is the same crazy deal where you have to wait on a list and such and then pick you lot and home etc.... So we did the whole pre-approval thing and are currently number 15 on the list. That is really great because if this is where we plan to eventually more we will have a lot more choice than we did with this particular home. In this community we started out as number 50-60.

I like the warmer weather we have been having lately. I hope that it gets better and that we can start seeing spring. Sean is now at the age that going to the park is a lot more fun. He love the swings. The other day the baby swings were taken so I sat on a big one with him in my lap and swag a couple of times. I was immediately sick. Mom doesn't like the swings too much! I had my fist sonogram appointment about a week ago. The new little one is officailly a gummy bear right now. He/She literally looks like a gummy bear with this beautiful heart beat! So cool! For any of you who live wives tales...the heart rate was high...166. Well, Sean is taking a nap right now so now is the time for me to get any cleaning done. Talk to you all later!
