Merry Christmas (from Texas)!

Much to our family's surprise we made it to Texas on Wednesday night and surprised them all on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It was fun to be here celebrating the holidays with family. We will be in Texas until January 25, but Kenny will make a trip back to NJ for finals in early January. I am definitely looking forward to being here for the next 30 or so days and eating as much Mexican food as possible.

We all had a great Christmas. Kennan celebrated a NJ Christmas a week early so that he could play with his toys before we went to Texas. We got him a basketball goal (he calls it a "ba ba go"), a table with chairs, some puzzles, and 2 maracas (he loves to shake them!!). Kennan also had a great Christmas in Texas. He got lots of train stuff, movies, fire engines, Matchbox cars, and some clothes. He was way overwhelmed, so we spread the present opening up quite a bit.

My (and Kenny's) biggest gift was a new lens for our camera. I love it and am looking forward to taking LOTS of pictures with it!!

Baby news...we went to the doctor on Wednesday before we left NJ and saw the baby's heartbeat! The due date is still August 11 which seems years away to me. I have been feeling pretty good...mornings are better than the evenings.

I will post some pictures as soon as I get them loaded onto the computer. I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season so far! Any good New Years Resolutions for 2007?

Baby News

Well, Kenny and I went in for an ultrasound this morning and found out that I am not as far along as we had thought. I am only 5 weeks and 4 days into the pregnancy so our new due date is August 11. That's a big difference from what we thought!! Next week we will go in for another ultrasound and hopefully see the baby's heartbeat. That's the news for now...I'll keep everyone updated!

Long time, no update

Life around Princeton has been pretty relaxing lately. We have finally had a wave of cold weather. The past 2 days temps haven't gotten out of the 50's and we haven't had any snow yet. They are predicting snow for Friday...good thing we have a snow suit for Kennan!

Kennan saw hockey on TV today and decided that it is his new favorite word. When he says it, he just cracks up! We also got a train to go around the bottom of the Christmas tree. It might be one of the best purchases I have ever made. He loves to sit and watch the train go around and around! Today Kennan's friend Hannah climbed out of her crib. She is younger than Kennan but a few inches taller and I am blown away that she did it!!! (She wasn't hurt!) We are just going to keep this from Kennan...he doesn't need to know that it is an option!

Kenny's flag football team has made it to the Championship game to be played next Saturday. They played 2 games this weekend, winning both, and upsetting two big teams! Nothing could wipe the smile off his face Saturday!

Last but not least, Kennan has some exciting news to share...

He is going to be a big brother!!

You heard it right, baby number 2 is on the way! Right now my due date is July 23, but it is likely to change. I am going to have an ultrasound done on December 11 to get a more accurate date...it could be a few days before or a few days after the 23rd. We are really excited and happy to be bringing another life into the world. Kennan is going to be a great big brother!
