Look at our pretty little family! This picture really embodies how much Brody and Jonathan look alike.

Since it has been so long since I have written I will do a brief update.

Brody is great. Almost sitting on his own. He has recently discovered how good his socks taste. He loves his Mega Saucer (a stationary walker-type with lot-o-toys on it) and his favorite book is Moo Baa La La La. We have been learning how to use a spoon and working on sleeping through the night.

Jonathan's band made the KY state marching finals tonight for the first time in thier school's history. I am proud of him that all his hard work has paid off but would be lying if I wasn't dissapointed that I have to put up with yet another week of crappy hours and single motherdom.

I'm doing well! Work is good- busy but in a good way. I am looking forward to Halloween and showing off my Pizza Baby. Once marching season is over I intend to start running again. Mom will likely be down next weekend for a nice visit which will be great! Hopefully it won't be as long next time!

Kudos to Dan for the rockin picture!

It's Been a year!

Yup, a whole year since we got married, and all we could talk about is all the stuff we have done in the last twelve months! Car, Furniture, BABY, House- really amazing.

We went to Indiana Jones and then went to dinner at this great little resteraunt downtwon. Steak and Lobster and a little bit of wine for me! Oh boy what a treat! Thanks Grammy and Pop for watching Mr Baby Brody!

Some of my favorite Brody Pics!

Easter!

Here are scenes from our Easter Egg Coloring! I did this with Jonathan last year and he suggested we do it again this year, it was a great sucess, everyone really seemed to get into it. Funny how many of them really didn't do this a whole lot growing up- this was always one of my favorite parts of Spring!

From Top left is Billy, Danna, Brad, Jonathan, me and Lindsey. This is us holding our favorite eggs!

3D

So... we had a 3D ultra sound done earlier this week- I was a little freaked out by the whole 3D thing at first- I think Kristen puts it best- she says it looks like a plasic-wrap baby. But I quickly found out that when its your own it's quite different- here this little guy has been moving so much, and these give a good picture of what he is really doing in there!

Happy Valentine's Day! These went over very well. It was the perfect ending to a great evening- Dinner at Los Amigos- not romantic but awfully yummy! Then a trip in the new whirl-pool tub- yes 2 adults and a fetus DO fit! Then these. YUM!

Finally, pictures of our new house! I really didn't straiten before I took these so use your imagination. These were from about two weeks ago and some thnigs have changed...
This first on is our computer/utility area- this is our main entrance, though not our front door. My back is on the back door taking this pic








Below is the other direction- there is a great deck out there and our cars























Kitchen- all new appliances and cabinets- I love our kitchen!












Here is our kitchen back the other way, my back is on the sink.














Here is our dining room- it' a great size- we are currently shopping for a bigger table!

















The living room from the entry in- the front door is to the right of this picture but on the same wall as the window











And from the front door facing in- notice the fireplace. :)











Below is our Bathroom- imagine the ceiling red- yuck! It is currently getting transformed into a white ceiling with Indigo Blue walls. I love it so far!

Our bedroom- the previou owner left the curtains in here and in the living room and it just happened to match our stuff, so great! I wouldn't have picked it out myself, but I am fine with them!

And of coure baby (brody) room! There is still a bunch we will do with this, but I am not going to start bothering with it for a few more weeks- we have the time!

As expected, it never went anywhere, but alas! I did not forget which email I entered this under, nor did I pic an uber-special password. So I am back! Just need to update a little...

This picture is Danna and I on New Years jammin to Murr-Vegas at the Apple!

Changes! New house as of a week ago! Love this thing, I really do. There is not one piece of it that irritates me (that or I am merely blind to it right now) At this point I cannot imagine not always loving this house though I suspect that will happened.

J and I are currently sitting on the couch, drinking coffee (as we started to "diet" today) watching the State of the Union address. Stand up sit down stand up sit down.

Here's to yet another entry!
