Aunt Mandy's Visit

By -
We were so lucky to get Aunt Mandy to come for a short visit this weekend. Mason LOVES having people visit and has to hold their hand the whole weekend, I hope Mandy didn't mind. We had a great time and Aunt Mandy was so sweet and bought Mason a Build-A-Bear. Unfortunately they had a stroller at the front of the store, so Mason just wanted to push that around the whole time. Then, he saw the computers and it was really over. He cried and cried when he had to get off the computer. He truly is just like his dad, as Mandy put it, "he is just like Dan, doesn't get excited about much except technology." He does really like his monkey, Moe. In fact, last night as we got on our knees to pray, he folded Moe's arms and said, "pray." Tears may or may not have come instantly to my eyes. It was just so unexpected to see a little 19 month old making sure his stuffed monkey joined in for the prayer. I love teaching this kid stuff. Anyway, back to the weekend. We went to dinner and made Mandy try sushi which she was pretty sure she would hate. She loved it. Saturday we went to an early 4th of July parade. It is confirmed, Mason hates big crowds. He had no interest in trying to get candy, so of course, mom was out there fighting off the little boy next to us for some candy. Okay, maybe not fighting, but I wasn't about to let him get the candy intended for Mason. We decided parades are all about the sport. We didn't care about all the salt water taffy, I just wanted to make sure Mason got his share of the candy he will never eat. Mason sure did love the candy though....and so did mom, dad and mandy. We had a great time, just hanging out and hope Mandy gets to come again soon.
Aunt Mandy, Mason, and
Moe at the Build-A-Bear. Thanks Mandy! The fam at the parade. Family Pics with the new addition, Moe. Mason can't believe we caught him with his arm around a stuffed animal...how embarrassing.



Nice job on the pic Dad. The nice misty background makes it look like we were in Paris or something.

A giant hug for Moe

Mason's favorite part of the whole night

Baby time!

By -
So, I had my first appointment today to confirm that baby #2 is on its way. Sure enough, a quick little heartbeat was going strong. We can't wait, well, actually, I think we can. It will be much easier to wait for this one seeing that we have an 18 month old that keeps us very busy, but we are really excited for it to come around December 2nd ish. We are really excited for Mason to be a big brother because he is so sweet with babies these days and seems to actually enjoy them. I am 12 weeks and feeling pretty rotten. I guess that just helps me know that things are going okay with baby. Poor Mason has been watching alot of TV in the mornings and has not had as much play time with mom. It makes me sad, but you do what you gotta do to get by. Deep down i kind of want another boy, so I am pretty confident that it is a girl. Dan doesn't care at all, and I really don't either, but for some reason girls scare me. We are excited to see what we are going to get this time ...

Only Blue for us!

Yes, it's true, we are having another boy. I always imagined having two little boys running around and we are so excited for Mason to have a little bro. There are so many fun things to look forward to with having little boys so close. Can't wait for all of the baseball games, basketball games, guitar and drum lessons.....or ballet lessons if they so choose. Whatever the case, we can't wait to have two little boys.

Presents for Mason

By -
I am just wondering if anyone has suggestions for best gifts for a 2 year old boy. We don't buy toys very often so I always want them to be really good. What are the best toys out there. I am thinking a play kitchen? Play food? I just want to know if there is anything that Mason should not be going without. K- please help.
