16.6mm

I went to my first appointment today and baby bean has strong healthy heartbeat. We even got a "picture" of baby number 2. We are so excited for Rylan to have a playmate and to expand our family. My due date is May 27 and I am nine weeks today. Hooray! Stay tuned for updates. Maybe announcing baby number two gets me off the hook for the late thank you's from Rylan's birthday and the lack of blogging. It is much more exhausting have a little one year old running around and being pregnant but Kenny is amazing and has not skipped a beat. What would we do without him. Not that I am in a hurry, but only having a few weeks left of the first trimester sounds wonderful. I love being pregnant and looking forward to not being a walking zombie and eating more than six bites...Until next time

Rylan's One Year Pictures

Thank you a million times Ashley!

Catching Up

Where do I begin. I guess I will start with Rylan...Rylan celebrated his first birthday last Sunday. We had two parties for him, one in Eureka and one here. We had such a great time with friends and family. Thank you all for sharing this special day with our family. Rylan Stats: eight teeth, 18lbs.11oz, 28 1/2", cruising around-so close to walking (I think he could but he is still unsure), says mama, daddy, bubba, bye, hi, and various one time only words, loves to kiss, eats all the time and everything-despite what his weight may indicate, sleeping well-almost ready for one nap a day, and loves to dance.
Our most talented friend Ashley took the BEST photos of our big one year old last week. I can't begin to thank her enough. I am so blessed to have such incredible pictures of my boy and such a dear friend. I know I have lots of pictures to catch up on, but these are the most important ones.

We have made an offer on a house in our neighborhood and waiting to hear, the longer the better for us. It's a little bit bigger than our house right now and has some nice upgrades. We'll see...I am just working two days a week and that is going okay. I don't love being away from Rylan, but it's a pretty good gig. Kenny has not travelled in quite awhile so that has been really nice and he has applied to sub in the Paso schools. He has been interested in doing this for some time and it will be interesting to see if he enjoys this, we'll think positively but subs usually get the "best" of the students. Hooray for a cool day! It's finally seeming to change seasons, although I love the sunshine a cozy rainy day is a much appreciated break from this almost 100 degree weather we've had since about May. Remember I grew up in the gray drizzly skies of norcal so the heat is an adjustment-wonderful but an adjustment. There are so many awesome seasonal things to do here and I can't wait to begin regular trips to Avila Valley Barn as well as so other local places that will be new to us. I think we will go to the giant pumpkin patch up here this week. We will be heading down to the desert for Thanksgiving and Eureka for Christmas, we don't have any exact dates yet and are looking forward to indulging in holiday treats and family.

I have tried to post a video before but now that our video camera basically died and other camera is basically worth nothing too, we will bite the bullet and be replacing both. Hopefully this will mean more pictures, video for the first time, and more posts.

Well, Rylan is waking up and Kenny is on a ride, duty calls. Until next time...
