6 MONTHS!!!

I had no idea it has been 6 months since the last post! There has been a lot of change and transitions since June. Tim, Conrad and I moved back in with my parents. We started building our house right before Thanksgiving. Our move in date is mid-March. We are looking forward to it! I will post pictures of the house soon!

We also moved my grandpa to a memory care facility right after Thanksgiving. This has been an extremely difficult transition for everyone in the family. It will take some getting use to, although I often wonder if we will ever get use to it. I am just taking one day and emotion at a time.

Conrad is busy walking, talking, counting, running and being ever so adorable. He is now attending King's Way Learning Center 2 days a week. He is thriving! I am very impressed with their program, and I am a tough critic!!! :) He had his little Christmas program last week. He cried through Jingle Bells and then started crying again when his teacher took his jingle bells away to sing the next song. It was hilarious!

We are finally ready for Christmas! Conrad loves the tree and lights in our room. Every morning he wakes up the first thing he says is "Wights, Twee!" We have to turn them on and talk about the colors.

We are approaching Conrad's 2nd Birthday...I can not believe it!!! WOW!

Speaking of Birthday's...my 30th is right around the corner, oh man! Not sure if I am ready for it, although I must embrace it for I do not have a choice. It is coming whether I like it or not.

I ran my first half marathon on October. I finished in 2 hours 30 minutes. Not bad for my first time. I was just glad I finished! It was hard but very fun. So fun, I am doing another one next month. Feel free to come cheer me on. It's around Vancouver Lake. Lord knows I will need the extra support! Thank goodness for Ipods!!!

Other then that we have just been busy with Conrad, building our house and life. I will post pictures soon. Conrad has gotten BIG!!! Hope all is well with everyone and have a wonderful and safe Holiday season!

Busy, busy, busy

The month of May was full of fun, friends and excitement. Tim and I left Conrad for the first time to go to Bodega Bay for a friends wedding. That was a blast. We were able to see friends from College that some we have not seen for almost 7 years! We all stayed in a big house together. It was great to be able to hang out with them and get to know their husbands.



When we returned we unpacked to repack a bigger suitcase and headed to Hawaii. We went with my parents and had a BLAST!! It was full of great food, wonderful drinks, pool, beaches, swimming, snorkeling, shopping and fishing. We have been back for a week now and I already want to go back! Check out the amazing pictures from this month!

Mans Best Friend

Dogs truly are a man's best friend! Conrad is in love with Cosmo. He follows him around, checks his nose for boogies, gives him hugs and pets him (ever so gently). Here is Conrad hand feeding Cosmo, and Cosmo actually taking the food!

This is Conrad's favorite spot. He loves to stand on the couch and watch the two other dogs behind the house. He likes to talk to them and tell Tim and I what they are up to. Oh, and Cosmo helps him with this very important task! :)

Tim's Birthday Weekend

Last weekend we went to Anderson Island with our friends, Fishers and Schmitdt's. It was an action packed weekend. There was golfing, bon-fire, roasting of smores, eating, drinking, games, biking, and more eating. Here is Conrad playing with his friend Jack. They were running and crawling under a bench that we put in front of the stairs. Conrad was also very curious about the fire place. Here he is helping Tim make a fire. And Friday morning before our friends came up Conrad and I were snuggling watching cartoons. It did not last long, so I am glad we got a picture!

I am a little behind!

I know, I know, I have not been good at posting. Tis the season. We have an action packed May so I PROMISE I will update soon!!! Check back next week to see what Conrad has in store for this weekend....oh so mysterious!

Another First!!

We decided it was finally time to get Conrad's hair cut. This was so much fun! Conrad was such a good boy! He even got to eat a dum-dum. He was very busy trying to see what the woman was doing behind him! He looks like such a big boy now. He got to sit on Tim's lap while his locks were trimmed. Don't worry, I kept the first lock of hair that was cut. What the heck are you supposed to do with it anyway? Check out the pictures of Conrad's first hair cut!!
