March Madness

We are quite sorry that it has been so long since our last official post in January (a couple of the posts below were backdated to fill in missing pieces - but look at them, they are nifty).

Times have been busy since January: Olympics, trips to Vegas and Utah (and San Diego for Matty), a birthday, 2 diagnoses of cancer in the family, an amazing Sweet 16 run by Cornell, and visits by all of Hayden's grandparents.

Hayden's words are now too many to count. She loves to say things like School Bus "Skoo Buh", the moon, happy, and 'how are you'. She is a lot of fun when she is in a good moood, but we are seeing bad moods as well now that she is in the "terrible two's" timezone. We know it is just phase though.

She is polite as she says "please" and "thank you" and is nice about sharing food - she offers something to us (after she picks it up with her grubby hands) and if we decline she eats it herself. We know that the nice-ness is also probably a phase.

In AZ we are loving the awesome weather we have had (this is the best time of year for us) and the town is alive with spring training and the smell of orange blossoms in the air.

Enjoy the pics and video.

#2 on the Way!

After 12 weeks, a sonogram, and getting to hear the heartbeat we are writing to announce that we are pregnant with baby #2!

In keeping with tradition we decided to nickname the baby. This baby's name is "Peanut" (as referred to by me) and "Number 2" (as referred to by Matt in his best Doctor Evil voice). We should be able to find out if we're having a boy or a girl at our appointment in May and then we'll give the baby a proper name, thank goodness. :)

Our due date is September 27th but we'll schedule a repeat C-section sometime during the week prior. And yes, I realize that I will be as big as a house during the hottest part of the year in Phoenix. I'm really looking forward to my swollen ankles! But seriously, I hope to spend a lot of time floating in the pool.

We'll send out additional updates as we get them. Hope all is well with each of you.

Love to everyone!
