One week ago, he finally came and completed our family. With smiles across all our faces and love in our hearts he looked at us and we immediately said, I love you, Chase!

Welcome home, son! you are loved!

Sunday was fun-day for Emily and all her family and friends. She has her third birthday party at Pump It Up. This is a building with a lot of bounce houses that is fun for both kids and adults. She had a ton of fun and we hardly saw her. She was too busy following her Aunt Julia and Cousin Jellybean. After it's all said and done she was one happy camper.

On our way home, she knocked out and wasn't able to open her gifts til after she woke up. After opening up all her wonderful gifts, she opened the last gift which was something that her awesome aunt's and uncles chipped in for. It was all made posible my her Crazy Auntie Helen. She was the one who organized it. Let me just say, its an awesome gift! The picture just tells the story. Thanks Crazy!

All in all, Sunday Fun-Day was a success because we had our friends and family all there to help celebrate our baby girls birthday. We couldn't ask for a better time with better people. Thank you everyone!

She's 3!

Well, Emily's third birthday is literally hours away and I feel like the time went by so quickly. She's been asking every day if it's Sunday because she knows thats when her party is. She's grown up so much in just the past 12 months. Just the other day she was running to my room really early in the morning trying to wake me up so she can watch her morning cartoons. These really are the times you just treasure with your family. My family means everything to me. I wouldn't call it sacrifice or losing out. Its more gaining moments and taking pictures and stories that stay with you forever.

With our baby boy just a couple of months away from welcoming himself to us, I'm sure time is not going to go any slower. Diane and I still can't make up our mind on what we want to name him. We have it down to a few names but we are literally back and forth every other day. I won't let out that information yet so you'll just have to wait and see. Come early May you'll find out. I'd love to add some updated pics but I don't have them with me on my laptop. I'll try to add it later.

Even though I haven't added anything for over a year, it always feels nice to just let out my thoughts into physical words. I know I only have a few people who may or may not read this. But if you are, thanks for listening.
