Empty

As I pack my cabinets, drawers and closets into boxes, I am filled with an emptiness. I am sad to leave this house, or perhaps not the house so much as the memories I have built in it...the first house we bought, the house I brought my babies home to. This is the first time in my life that I will not be living in Colorado. The first time I will be far enough away from my parents that I can't just see them whenever I feel like it. I am realizing how many people I really am going to miss, and I am sad.

A new life

I am excited to begin our new adventure in NM. I was beginning to worry that we were going to sell our house before I had a job or insurance for the family, but God is good and has provided me a transfer with UPS. I start on April 1st...and no it is not an April fools joke! We also have an offer on our house it is amazing how everyrhing is coming together. I am excited to start a new chapter, but sad to leave friends and family in Colorado. More frightening to me is the prospect of finding a new doctor...yuck:( Let the fun begin!!!

Milestones!!!

Tyler is 7 months old and has finally cut his first tooth, after much chewing...on everything!

Life is good when you are 2!

Last weekend we had the priviledge of taking Cody to a monster truck show at the Pepsi Center. He was totally captivated and hasn't stopped talking about the monkey monster truck since we left. He is soooo cute!

New for the New Year!

Christmas was good to us all, both boys got more than they could have hoped for. Here are some favorites.


I love children, they keep things fresh. I don't have to make new year's resolutions in order to change my life...it is ever changing! I love how a good night sleep can cure all wrongs and the simple things make the biggest smiles. Tyler is now sitting up...mostly on his own. He can balance for almost a minute as long as there are no major distractions.

Baby it's cold outside

It has been so cold here the last couple of days, and I mean below zero cold, but Cody still wants to play outside. He is cute in the snow, can't wait to take him sledding!

It's the little things...

Tyler learned how to breathe through his mouth and he is so cute breathing in and out really quick, just to show me that he can do it! it really makes me laugh.

Two down, sixteen to go!

Assuming that Cody moves out at 18...we have 16 years to go. We celebrated his 2nd birthday this weekend. Just a small family celebration with a couple fun presents.

Memories

It is fun for me to remember things I did as a child, and watch my kids experience them for the first time. We went to Meme and Coco's house on Halloween and raked leaves from their tall, tall trees and played in them. It was really fun. I remember raking leaves at Nana and Papa's house and sliding and playing in them when I was small.
I also remember trips to California Where my mom and dad said things like... this is the house I grew up in, or this is where I went to school and thinking it was weird that they wanted to show us that stuff. Now I find myself telling Cody the same things.
