Update 9-29-08










Okay--so I'm successfully the worst blog-writer. Ever. I admit that. I've also proclaimed in the past that I'm a myspace dropout so I guess I should have seen this coming.....




On with life we go! Let's see what's been going on lately--




First, I have to ask each and every one of you to say a prayer for my grandmother and our family. My grandmother, who lives in Colorado, passed away Wed. She was 94 and had lived a wonderful, full life. We know she is with God now and much happier. We will be traveling to CO this week for the service and to see the fam. Wish us the best and we'll post pics of the beautiful mountain scenery.




As many of you know, and some of you may not know, I have recently decided to leave my job. I officially left at the end of August. Work was beginning to take too much time away from home and I just wasn't happy with that. For those of you taht know me fairly well, you know I'm not one to stay at home. This left me figuring out what part-time job I could take to occupy myself and keep Drew in daycare (he LOVES it there). I decided to work a few days a week at his daycare. This was a huge leap for us and I'm glad to say it's working out perfectly! I love working there; I'm close to Drew, the people are great, it's easy, relaxing work and, at the end of the day, I leave! No strings attached. It's perfect.




We've been pretty busy these past few weeks. Drew is learning more and more each day. He's got quite the vocabulary now, and can sign several words. He never sits still and is already showing signs of starting the 'terrible twos'. Yikes. He's still absolutely adorable and so fun to be around. Matt and I are really enjoying our parenting lives. I'm attaching pics for those of you that haven't seen him in awhile. Yep--look at all of that hair!




Our latest accomplishment--Drew's now drinking out of a straw! Yes, that's all it takes to get us excited now.




Our friends Sam and Rachel continue to raise a beautiful girl (Greta, above). Drew's still not quite sure about here, but I think he's coming around. Rachel loves to dress her up in various outfits and put those adorable bows in her hair. Too cute!




Take care everyone and yes, I'll try to write more often

Good work on the update! Can you email me the Greta pic. That flower is seriously bigger than her head. Am I a ridiculous mom or what?
