We're moving again

I am so surprised at how quickly time flies when you have a child. I can't believe my last post was September 2009! So much has happened since then. I didn't even blog Ethan's first birthday! Eeek! Of his first steps! Eeek! Such a bad Mom. For the record though he had a great party and did start walking at 14 months. At 17 months, he is still not talking but definatly knows what you are saying to him. He has the head shake - No! down really well.

Since my last blog, I was laid off again and recently changed careers into Finance. While I am still getting used to it, the pace is much slower than expected. I don't think I will ever be happy! Ha!

Kevin and I found our dream home and we recently put our house on the market. We are building a new house which won't be ready until May (Kevin says June, the builder says April). We have a frame and a roof but no walls yet. I am so excitied as to how wonderful it will be. All the kids will have thier own rooms. Kevin and I's room will be far away from those rooms! All will be well. I hope some day I will get the pictures off the camera and onto the internet.

Family Photos

We finally got everyone together and over Christmas had our first family photo shoot. It was evening so we don't have too many of Ethan smiling but they came out great.

Happy Halloween

Ok, there is one problem with buying your baby stuff at a consignment store. The stuff that was purchased for the winter was done in August. So the adorable Tigger costume that was supposed to fit a 12 month old baby was way too small. But I put it on him anyway because I am him Mom and it is my job to torture him. He did take the little Tigger and put it in him mouth and shake it just like Gilly taught him.

And what would Halloween be without Kevin and I's pumpkin renditions. This year we took on each other. Doesn't it look like Kev?

Ethan's 1 Year Old!

Hanging out at home

Just us hanging out at home. Ethan being silly.




My favorite picture. Although it looks like he it trying to kiss me, he was actually trying to bite me.

Ok, so it has been a while since my last posting. The pictures below were taken of Ethan at 9 months.

This one is for Grandpa :)


This one is for Daddy.




These are his "faces" portraits that I love!
