Hmmmmm............

Hmmmm.....Trying to think of what to say to everyone! LOL. Seems like it's been a while since I wrote but can't think of anything new going on. Colton is almost 1 year old now, and we are in the stages of planning a birthday bash! It will be March 9th we have decided that but not a place or time. With as big as our family is I have a feeling we will have to have it somewhere other than our house. Can't imagine where I am going to put all the birthday toys as all the Christmas toys are spilling out of his room and into what is now a "toy nook" in our living room! I have told my mother to restrain herself so I think she got the hint! Chris' brother is in town for the weekend so we are getting to enjoy some nice time with him. So sad that he will have to go back to AZ all too soon. Colton really seems to enjoy having his Uncle Matt around.
Please keep Chris in your thoughts and prayers as he is going for his 2nd interview with Brandywine Country Club. Another change, yes, but we are hoping this one is more permanent. Once Chris gets another good, steady paycheck coming we are going to have to start house hunting because this house is very quickly getting way too small! Hoping the next house we buy is "the one" because I HATE MOVING!
Colton is starting to pick up language rather quickly now. He says mama, dada, purple, apple, hi, and hey. It is amazing how quickly he is starting to do things now. Time has just flown by, as I have said a few times already. I can't this baby is going to be one in just over a month!

Happy New Year

Well 2008 is upon us! Can you believe it? 2007 was such a huge year for us, after lots of trying and a little help we became parents. Having a child is not easy by any means and although you love them dearly, man can they be a challenge at times! As many of you know Colton, after 9 looonnnnggggg months, is finally sleeping through the night which is a huge relief. We enjoy him so much more now that everyone is getting some much needed rest.
Did you all make your New Years resolutions? Here are mine: loose weight, be patient and enjoy every moment with Colton because you only have each day once and they are going by at lightening speed, start to recycle, and take time for myself and not feel guilty about it.
In a mere 64 days it will be Colton's 1st birthday! I am having such a hard time remembering where the last year went. He has gone from baby blob to a smart, inquisitive, adventuresome little boy. I am looking forward to what the next year will bring.
Hope you all have a fabulous new year!
