Blessings on this Thanksgiving!

So, you've noticed that I am not posting very much. It's always my goal. I read all my friends blog and day dream about what I would post if I were posting. I thought about that and have come up with two reasons (er, excuses). One, I used to have a desktop computer that I did everything on. I love a desktop. But when Max came we have to make room ( which i happily did :)) for him so Bye bye went my computer room. Robb sweetly tries to teach me the ways of laptops ( which I used as coasters and kill) then he tried getting the iPad ( really for himself and his work, but for me to try to blog on,too) and I love the thought and the work involved in getting these devices to me, however, I am a desktop kinda girl. I miss my desktop. This typing on the iPad isn't the same. I know, silly to complain about, right. Poor me. It just cramps my style.

Reason numero dos, is that I have been harboring information that I didn't want to blab just yet. Yet, all I can think about is how to say it. So, here goes... We are expecting a sweet baby end of May/early June. I am in awe. I really was nervous if we would be able to conceive after the miscarriage earlier in the year. Then once we were pregnant it was seeing if the new regimen would get us farther than the last pregnancy. Now here we are 12.5 weeks along. I have had several doctor appts and everything seems like it's going well. I have a swelling midsection and the nausea has been non-stop for about 5 weeks. Although, I'll take that as a constant reminder of just how blessed we are to be here.

As, I think about this Thanksgiving and the rest of the holiday season, I feel blessed to be right where I am. That my family is healthy and that we are together ( or will be after I get home from work). So, each of you I am thankful for, too! I hope your day is spent well with family or friends and counting your blessings! Happy Thanksgiving!

Scenes from a Second Birthday!

On November 23rd, 2010 our baby... Now little man turns two! How crazy is that. I lay awake in bed the night before seeing if I can recall what it felt like two years previous. What an amazing day, as has each day since been full of joy and wonder. I am amazed at what this kiddo learns, says, does everyday. We are blessed beyond belief to get to witness this.





So, Max at 2 years old loves fruit and yogurt for breakfast. But, his all time fav is still pancakes. And he will ask for them on a daily basis.

His two loves are trucks/cars and puppies. He has a whole slew of both and they accompany us most places. What is really fun is how his imagination has really emerged over the last month or two. Now playing with trucks or puppies is very playful and bright. He makes them talk and copies what he has seen.

He loves to read and sing songs. He is starting to direct songs to..like instead on the wheels on the bus he wants the wheels on the tractor or the wheels on mommy's car. It's pretty darn cute.

He talks a mile a minute! Although, if you are just meeting him it might take a few minutes for him to warm up. I love his sweet baby voice. And the way he says please when I ask him how to ask nice. He turns to put his cheek on his shoulder and give an angelic "please".

I could seriously go on and on but here are some pictures from his family birthday party last Saturday!









I know this one is blurry but I love the intensity!
