Welcome to our blog!

I have decided to start a blog as a way to keep the people we love up to date on what is happening in our lives. Really, it's a way for me to keep friends and family in the loop on what is going on with our son, Maddox. Being that everyone is scattered all over the place, I felt that this might be the best way. I will try to keep things as up to date as possible. Feel free to visit, leave comments or completely ignore it. Enjoy!

January 2008

The New Year has started off pretty good for us here. Maddox moved up to Level 2 in Gymboree (very exciting) and started swimming lessons. Here are a couple of pictures of our first swim class at the Aquatic Center.



We also had our monthly-ish playdate with all of our playgroup friends at Lara and Jack's house. It was a lot of fun to see all the kids again, and of course I forgot my camera. I turned 32 this month, so Stefan threw my Super Sweet 16x2 Party, which consisted of a few of us having dinner at our place. It was a lot of fun and great to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while. We also had our annual tradition of going to Jason and Staci's Super Bowl Party, which was a new and different experience with Maddox. He met a new playmate in Lila who is the daughter of Staci's friend Liann. They seemed to hit it off and had a great time. We got some pictures in the Maddox Month 8 album, so feel free to take a look.

February has started out pretty well for us. Maddox decided to finally start crawling forward and has actually gotten very adept at getting around the house. I put him down and look away for 5 seconds and he's after Nelson. Time to get the gates up! He's also been pulling himself up to standing as well. Now I'm petrified he's going to walk soon. I was a late walker, so I'm hoping it takes him a bit. I don't want to lose my baby so soon :).


We had a great playdate last week at Alice and Abbi's house and I have a couple of pictures below (didn't forget my camera this time...yay!). We are looking forward to a quiet next couple of weeks before Stefan's birthday :).
