It has been 6 months since our last post. That is terrible but time has just gotten away from us. We have kept busy like usual. We spent a week in Idaho in early October. It was really nice. I needed the Idaho weather. I am having a hard time with nice weather in November and December. I am an Idaho girl, I need SNOW!!!!!!! It's always great to spend time with family and friends. We don't get to see them enough. We got back in time for Halloween and as you can see we had a little spider man. I guess I should say big spider man. He lets me know every day he is a big boy. When I call him my baby he says, "Mom, I am your big boy. Your baby is in yours tummy." Makes me sad. I am about 21 weeks pregnant right now. I am halfway there already. We are having another baby boy and couldn't be more excited. Rob is relieved. I don't think he was ready for a girl. Andre can't wait to be a big brother. The baby is due in April and everyday Andre asks if it's Easter yet. I let him know the baby will be here about the same time the Easter Bunny comes. He's going to be a great big brother. We spent Thanksgiving here in California. A small dinner with the three of us. It was nice. Rob always cooks up a nice turkey.He was on the ball this year. We were ready to eat at noon. I can't believe Christmas is already here. I am thankful for my job which allows me to be home for Christmas Eve and Christmas day this year. Being a nurse means long hours and holiday work. Our house is cozy and covered in Christmas decor. We are almost done with our shopping. We have to finish early because all of our family lives in different states. I have to get all their gifts in the mail early enough for their things to arrive before Christmas. Our little family is doing really well right now. We are all happy and healthy. We could ask for more. We are looking forward to the new year. We all deserve to have the best year ever.
We have had a very busy summer. We spent some time in Texas and then went on our big cruise at the end on June. We went on the cruise ship the Carnival Destiny. Rob's brother got married to our wonderful new sister Amani. We love her dearly and are so excited to have her in the family. We stopped at 3 islands, Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau. It was amazing. Good food, great company and amazing memories. Andre loved every minute of it. He couldn't wait for the next adventure. We then spent a few days in Miami and Key West Florida. I could lay on the beach every day of my life, I think Andre could too. He loves to play in the sand and had a great time playing with his Grandpa. When we got home all he could talk about was his Grandpa and "My Uncles." I also went home to Idaho for a few days to pick up the dogs that my parents so kindly took care of and for my 10 year class reunion. It's always nice seeing old friends and catching up. On July 15th Andre turned 3 years old! Where does the time go. He now tells me he is a big boy. Makes me a little sad. Of course I tell hm he will always be my baby Andre. Things have slowed a little now. Catching up on family time and enjoying the last days of summer. Andre is officially potty trained! All is took was us taking his diaper away, a few days and poof, he is now a big boy using the potty. GOOD JOB ANDRE!
