New House

It looks like we are going to have a busy year. Meghann and I have been offerred a great opportunity by school district where I work. Because of the state of the economy the high school's Construction Trades class does not have a home to build this year. So, we are going to take the opportunity to have them build us a house.

We are really early in the process, but things are looking pretty good. Intrest rates are really low, so are lumber prices and we are getting a great deal on land since we will be building on a portion of the family farm. We are very excited and nervous all at the same time. We will probably break ground sometime in June 09 and have the whole project completed by the middle of May 2010. The house will be just under 1800 sqft with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a full basement with a walkout.

New addition...

Jayson and I felt that his siblings were getting too much attention with their new babies over the last few months.....So we thought we would announce that we are expecting another baby in September. This are going well...I am 3 1/2 months along and other than fatigue, overactive emotions and heart burn, I feel very well. There are days I forget that it's happening. I am starting to expand, but unfortunately don't appear obviously pregnant to those who do not know. I can't wait to feel the little one move and get the firm rounded belly so I don't feel like I have to explain the reason why I am gaining weight. :) We just wanted you all to know and we will try to keep you posted when we have more interesting information.

Disney on Ice

1 week after Addie's birthday we (grandparents and aunt, Jayson and I, and the Mousketeers) went to Ft. Wayne to watch Micky and Minnie's Amazing Adventure. We got to experience The Lion King, The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan (to name 3 of 5 movies) on ice. The kids all did great, even the little ones. The adults had a wonderful time watching the kids and singing along.

This was a fun way to extend Adelyn's birthday celebration. It was a day full of great memories and lots of smiles.

Adelyn is 2!

I know, I am 3 weeks behind schedule. :) It has been a little crazy around here the last 6 weeks or so. But first things first....Adelyn is now 2. She is independent, talented and very dramatic. We have some very good times and some very frustrating times but I wouldn't trade any minute.

As you can see Adelyn is happy to be sharing her big day with the mousketeers. She became very fond of Micky Mouse Clubhouse about a month before her birthday. We had a good time celebrating. She is very interested in singing, playing with dolls and "doing things herself."

As you can tell it was a big day. This was taken after the festivities. She went home, took a good nap and was still recovering the next day. We love you Adelyn. Hope your next year is full of even more discoveries and excitement.
