In the last 4 months, we have:
- Painted the entire house and purchased new living room furniture
- Ended the school year
- Had a relaxing summer
- Drove to Florida with Kelly: Tim and Kelly drove up the beginning of July. Tim stayed for a week and had to fly home to get back to work. Kelly stayed until the end of July and patiently waited for me to go to some conferences for work and then we headed back to Florida. I was able to stay for about 12 days. It was a nice visit. I got to visit with old friends (Thanks Steph and Krista!) and was able to celebrate my grandma's 90th birthday...what a celebration!
- Gone on profile at Sunny Ride and begun to involve ourselves with other families going thru the same things. Our profile can be seen at www.sunnyridge.com
- Spent wonderful weeks with Colleen, Dom and Quinn: Wonderful friends that are more like family. We are so grateful for the time we get to share with The Calominos when they are in. Colleen and Quinn (4mos) were able to take the long flight from Vegas to Orlando in July to see Kelly and Tim. I was there during the visit and I just love those girls SO much! It was a wonderful visit and great way to spend a week. Colleen, Quinn, and I flew home to Chicago and were able to spend another week together! Miss them SOO MUCH!
- Jimmy Buffet Concert with great friends
- Celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary...Time has gone TOO fast! It seems as though it was just yesterday that we sat in my moms driveway in Richton Park and dreamed of the days that we would be married and be on our own...time is moving faster than my brain can comprehend! What I would give to be back in the driveway again...not to re-do what we have done...but to remember it a little better and cherish it a little bit longer.
- Had wonderful visits with both sets of Parents at our home
- Celebrated Nicks 31st Birthday: We had a nice Starbucks breakfast, walk with Lola along Lake Michigan, Jackhammer's game with Chris and Nona and the kids, and gifts. All in all I think Nick had a wonderful birthday!
- Put in a new patio and fire pit (come over...party any time!)
- Enjoyed time with Mason ans Sofi
- Changed classrooms...which has been a blessing and challenge all at the same time!
- Celebrated our 1st year anniversary with Lola...She has been a true blessing to us! She came when we needed something to take our minds off of infertility and enjoy the best things in life. Thank You Deanna, for "bringing Lola" into our home...we love her more than you know and more than we thought we could!
And here we are today...I tried to put most of that in order...it's close enough!
We are hoping that the next few months go quickly in terms of waiting for the birth of our child, but not soo quickly that we don't enjoy the time we have together.
