He's a Spicy One!

So here we are...months later. But I wanted to share this video anyway! Dylan was born in May and is quite the little rascal already. Haley loves him...sometimes a little too vigorously. :) You can always see up-to-date pictures at http://lerwickcircus.smugmug.com if you get frustrated by the lack of updates to this blog!

It's a BOY!

So it isn't the best picture, but we'll just have to wait until May for a better one. :) At our ultrasound today (22 weeks) the little one looked happy (I think!), healthy, hyper, and male. We're all pretty excited...hence the long, long overdue blog post! You may pass the word that I've finally updated it! Thanks for checking in!

Biker Chick

So yeah, we are making good use of the Greenway while we're here!
Ready for her first ride.
A few difficulties with the little helmet...
All set.
Trying on Mom's helmet in hopes that we can go back out. :)

Whew!

Ok...questions first. Yes, we closed on the house and moved and everyone got well. :) And yes, the new house we are building is in Rocking Star.


We left with the last load of stuff 15 minutes before the new owners took possesion...nothing like cutting it close! The 2 week closing would've been a little crazy anyway, but we ended up celebrating Haley's first birthday, "entertaining" a house full of company and all getting sick that week before the closing. So it was an absolute zoo. But we all lived through it and are now happily ensconced in the little place where Tim and Myrna lived while they built their house. :) We love it here...there are trees and foxes and we're right on the Greenway. It is also quite handy to be close to everything in town for a change!


This was just a couple of days ago when Haley decided that she should sit on Nora's lap. Little goon.



The girls posing at the little play area on our Greenway route.


All ready to go! Sometimes I take them out in the wagon, sometimes the double stroller, and just recently we tried a little bike trailer...but they pinched each other...so we might have to stick to the other two options. :)


Hangin' at the play area.


One of Miss Haley's first horsey rides. She just started this recently and still doesn't hand on very well. :)

Just a sweet picture of the little "angel" reading her books. She's quite independant and will sit for hours looking through her books and yabbering about them. She doesn't mind sitting on your lap for this, but would rather turn the pages herself.


The house construction is going very quickly and with only a few disasters. You can check out all of the pictures in our Construction Zone 2008 gallery, but here's what the place looked like yesterday.

Haley's 1!

Haley had fun opening her presents, but ended up getting distracted and Daddy had to help. :)
Caught in the act!

Amidst all of the chaos I had actually forgotten that it was my birthday too, but Glenda reminded me and put candles on the extra cake for me. :)
One of Haley's favorite gifts from uncle Keith. Shouldn't every little tyke have a pair?

Next Adventure: Moving & Construction

I must apologize for my cryptic last post. I was still a little dazed by the terms (2 weeks!!) of our contract. But yeah...the house is under contract, so we'll be moving. The plan is to move into town and rent a little place while we build again. The new house will be out on Horse Creek.

This is our lot...notice the nice little stakes we put in on Saturday. :)

And this is our contractor. Wish us luck! :)

Goodbye Old House!

Well folks, the house is under contract. That's the good news. The bad is that we have to get moved out in 2 weeks! So I should be packing...yuck. Good thing I've got Haley to help me, eh? :)

It sure doesn't seem like we've been here for 2 years already. Lots of memories here...we'll miss it. But on to the next adventure, right?
