My 1st Day of School!

Yes, my little boy is starting Pre-School! I can't believe it! We found a wonderful pre-school for him and he can start at age 2. He did very well today. He cried a little when Mommy left but Miss Rachel said he did excellent. He will be going Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 8:45-12pm. A nice thing for him and a nice break for Mommy.

Wow, 29 weeks already! Time is sure flying by fast. We are going to have a scheduled C-Section on Nov 8th due to complications with Brayden's delivery and that she'll be as big as he was. I guess I would rather have us all safe than sorry.

29 Weeks!

Smooshed little nose.....I look like my big Brother!

I can be a rebel, when I want to be.

Ok, so what kind of Animal Crackers did you buy Mom???

Seriously, confused....thank goodness!

At the Denver Zoo. He loved all th animals, especially the sea lions.

Undetermined name.....

Ok, so naming this little girl has been a lot harder than the first time around. There are several options that people have been throwing out there.......here are a few.

1.Thomasina Paulina or Paulina Thomasina (guess who's favorites those would be, and in which order??!!!)


2. Madelyn (Joel's favorite)

3. Avery (Brayden and My favorite)

Any other suggestions???

Long awaited post.......sorry for the delays!!

I am sure everyone is wondering...........how are we doing?
Yes, we are in Denver. We've been officially in our house for one month and getting somewhat settled. It's gone by so fast. We have had lots of company already, Joel's grandma Mary, his parents, my parents and brother. Brayden is adjusting very well to his new digs. He's in a big boy bed now, that's going OK. Not so much fun for Mom and Dad since he can get out himself, open the door, and come and bug us. We'll get there. Lots of new things for him. And for those of you who don't know, Brayden's going to have a little Sister! We double checked and she is a girl. I am at 27 weeks already! Time has sure flown by!!

Here are some pictures from the last two months.

Are we really moving??

Helping with the move...

Hey, I remember this thing!

"helping" Dad move things into the POD

Gotta have a Cheesy Puff break!

I was helping a little too much, 1st trip to the emergency room. I got in a fight with the cabinet pulls. No stitches needed, just glue me up Dr!

With all that work, I needed a little computer break!

Sorry for the back log of pictures and no updates lately....

We've been on a roller coaster ride the last month. First Our
really big news is that Brayden's going to be a big brother! Our due
date is November 17th, exactly 2yrs and a month apart! The thing about
morning sickness, HA, how about all day sickness!! This pregnancy is by far
total opposite of Brayden. I am so thankful that Brayden had been such a good
boy helping his mom out. I am just over 13 weeks now and the morning sickness has subsided, for the most part. YAH!!
Secondly, we are putting our house on the market today and moving to Denver, CO!
Joel's accepted a position at AthenaInvest, INC. and will be heading up the Technology side. It's a great opportunity for him as well as our family. Joel's currently down in Denver as of last week and we miss him a lot!! Brayden's been Mommy's helper getting the house ready. Let me tell you, it's a lot of work getting your house ready to sell!

We'll miss all of our family and friends in ND and MN but we will not be that far away. Visitors welcome! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we make this new chapter in our lives!

Here are some pictures from the last month. Sorry the update has taken so long!

Looks like I could get in to trouble if I go this way....

Last Day of ECFE

My little girlfriend, Ella

I found this Harley phone and thought I could ride it...

Sad Day for Daddy

Daddy's first out of college purchase was a '99 Harley Davidson Fatboy and Friday he let her go. It was a sad day for Dad. He's trading in his toy for baby toys.
Some day I will have myself a Harley too!
Mommy and Kitty, I love you guys!
