And it's a.....

Well we went and had our sonogram today. The man could not tell us 100% for sure but he said that from what he can tell...the baby is a boy! WE are very excited but a little unsure of what to do with boys. We have never had one around here. We are going to go and have our 3D sonogram in a few weeks so we will know for sure at that point. For now though the baby is looking like a boy!

I will update again when we get some more information. Hope to talk to you all soon!

She's officially a big girl!

So I was ok with the potty training. I was ok with her first hair cut. I was even ok with her getting a twin bed instead of a crib. I was not ok with today. I just dropped Taylor off for her first day of school! She was so excited about it that she didn't care that I was leaving. I kissed her goodbye and told her that I loved her and she said I love you Mom. See you later! I am glad she was so excited about it and everything...but I wasn't ready for this. She is growing up way too fast. I heard it all when she was a baby. I heard how fast it was going to go by but I didn't believe anyone. And now it has. She is officially a big girl. I know it will get easier, but today is hard!!!

I am almost ready Mom


Now I am ready. Let's go Mom!!!

Holidays!

Well the holiday season has ended for the year and ours was quite eventful. I have been off work for two weeks for my holiday vacation and enjoying every minute of it. Christmas came and it was really fun. Taylor was very excited to open her presents this year. It was almost more than she could handle. She was screaming and laughing the whole time. We stayed at my parents house Christmas Eve and she didn't go to sleep until after midnight and was up waking Jamie up at 6:30 on Christmas morning. She was very excited. Christmas evening we went to mike's parents house and had dinner with them and opened more presents. Taylor was a little sleepy but still very excited. We are all very grateful for all of our gifts and the time that we got to spend with family.

The Richmond Family Christmas was held at my parents house on the 28th. It was a very nice day visiting with everyone. Taylor and Grace spent the entire day together and didn't stop playing once. I think the longest they stopped running was about 10 minutes to eat lunch. It was wonderful to see everyone and visit with family that I haven't gotten to see in a while.

New Year's Eve was quiet. We spent it with friends and family. I am happy to say that I did make it until midnight but we did leave shortly after that. It was the fist time that we saw midnight in a long time. We spent the evening playing games and visiting. It was a really nice evening. New Year's Day was spent with Mike's family. They ate crab while I had some ham. It was also a very nice evening.

Jamie was up here for about two weeks. I really enjoyed spending time with her. Taylor was so excited when she got here. Taylor wanted to go and see her every day! It was fun.

Mike and I are both back at work tomorrow. It is time to get back to reality and back to our regular lives. We have really enjoyed this vacation time and I hope all of your have as well. Happy New Year!!!!
