Brent & Rebecca's Visit

This weekend, one of my best friends from college came over from Tampa with her 3 boys... (well, husband and 2 boys).We had a great time visiting and watching the kids play togetherJack (3 yrs) & Ali (almost 2 yrs - 20 months)Thomas (almost 1 yr - 11 months)

Ali's concentrating!

The kids had lots of fun playing together on the slide. Ali was watching to make sure little Thomas was ok.

Watch me run... can you catch me?

Brent & Rebecca, Thanks for making the trip over!
We had a great time... and we'll look forward to the next time we can get together!

It's Potty Time!!!

Tonight, Ali did her first official business in the potty!Just before her bath, we usually ask if she needs to go potty...
she said "yes, potty" and went and did just that!

She has had a couple attempts, but misses... this time, she was right on target!
The little things make parents so proud!

Beautiful day for a 5K!

This morning, we got up and ran the HFMC 5K in Melbourne.
Ali did great staying in the stroller while I ran, then she was ready to stretch her legs!

It was fun to see lots of our friends from work there with their kids!

We even signed Nana up to walk just before she got on the plane and headed back to NC... we will miss her being here! She spoiled us!

The first few weeks after we returned to work from the Christmas holidays were a bit hectic... Thankfully, Pat had planned a visit ant it couldn't have been more timely!
This week, I told my Director for WPG and a few co-workers, but was not in the office much due to the Pursuit Simulation Training, Program Reviews and the Growth Conference!

I sent Bruder a challenge for the PufferFish II (weight loss) Competition, beginning 7/1/11. He wanted to change the official rules...

The majority of our friends were informed as part of our New Year's letter that we sent out.


Ultrasound #5
Scheduled for 2/24/11
This is the big one that we've all been waiting for!
We get to find out if Ali will have...
a little sister or a little brother!!!
