i can't believe it....my baby is 2!!!!
we have pics, but our computer died...so, until the new one comes in....you will have to wait.
she is definately 2, with her continued independence, tantrums (sometimes resulting in us leaving places), imitating everything her brother does, and wanting to be ever so helpful with everything i do. she is talking non-stop, has taken to dolls, barbies,"her babies" and makes sure that we are changing them and bringing them everywhere with us.
her stats: 25 lbs (30%) and 35inches (80%)....so, tall and thin...just what you want for a little girl!
i will upload pics soon.....
until then..we are preparing for halloween!!!!
Hello from East Grand Rapids, Michigan (used to be Baltimore) Please check back once and awhile for updates on Braydon, Brielle & Beckett, our adventures as a family and the many changes that continue to happen in our lives.

October.....
yes..i have been slacking and I am going to use the pregnant excuse. i sleep whenever i get the chance therefore forgetting all other things that i usually do. the baby is almost 17 weeks now, and I am feeling really good (minus the exhaustion and headaches) and i have started to show some....makes us all excited. brielle now refers to my belly as where the baby lives, and braydon has determined still that the baby will be named, Beaver. :)
we have been busy.....and it just keeps going, but this is my favorite time of year and although Maryland temps have not reflected a sense of fall...i love fall!
this weekend we have 6 families coming over for a "camp out" where they will sleep in tents in the backyard, sit by the fire, roast marshmallows and whatever else we can do to wear out 4 yr olds and 2 yr olds....pictures to follow.
we head to Disney World, and Boca Raton, FL in 3 weeks (for my grandma's birthday) and then back for Thanksgiving.....
Brielle turns 2 this coming monday.....can you believe it? all going so fast.....
cheese
more cheese!
i just loved the picture...it sorda makes you think there is peace in the house. :)
the boys left for the weekend, so Brielle and I headed to the Baltimore Science Center.

fall 2008, random photos....
we are in september....
braydon loves school....i knew he would be fine, although it took a few days for him to realize he would not go back to the same classroom as last year. he is changing fast right now, and it is so much fun to watch! brielle is enjoying some more 1:1 time with me, and is talking NON-STOP!!! it is wonderful. the baby is now over 12 weeks and has started to treat me a little better, still some sickness here and there but much better than in the past 3 months! We have a lot of fun things planned for this fall, i will stay on top with pics as much as possible...enjoy your September! We are hoping for some cooler weather soon, it is 79 degrees here today. :)

outer banks...
we had a great time!
we only lost one day to the tropical storm...not bad, and it was kinda fun to see the big waves and the wind! otherwise, we had blue sky, 85 degrees, perfect amount of breeze and good times! another good vacation and with that another summer comes to end....crazy how fast the time goes.
we started school this week...i will get to those pics later...braydon is very glad to be back at the Christian Preschool for the second year, and Brielle has asked several times if she can go...next year i tell her..next year!
I am almost 12 weeks into this pregnancy....and starting to feel better, each day is different but at least they are not all filled with sickness anymore....
We are looking forward to fall, and the activity that it brings with it. Braydon starts soccer next week, and Brielle has already started gymnastics....

hmmm.....lack of posting....
okay, so..i have really been terrible lately about putting anything into the blog.....to be honest, i have not even thought about it. we have taken pictures, plenty of them but i have just done nothing about it. you could call it laziness, forgetfulness, or neglect....or, could it be that something else has been taking up my time causing me stay away from this computer and my daily addiction of "checking my email, facebook, shopping, etc."
have i created any curiosity....
well, there is reason....
i have been feeling a little under the weather....you know..that exhausted, nauseated, i am going to heave at any moment, no food looks good (nor does it smell good) kinda feeling that really only happens to me when one certain thing is going on in my life....
yep...I AM PREGNANT!
and, Yep...i have been really sick! :)
due date is: April 3, 2009...
we are really excited!
so..i promise when i start to feel better and when the computer screen does not give my stomach the twirlies...i will post more pics!
