Crazy Life

Our lives have been fast paced recently. We have all been sick (Laurelle has her first ear infection) and then we celebrated Laurelle's first birthday last Friday evening. We had a wonderful evening with friends and family - eating and watching Laurelle open her presents. She enjoyed the messy cake experience and then was wisked to bed because she was desperately tired. She is enjoying her new toys immensely.

I am in my 19th week of pregnancy and feeling good. I am beginning to show obviously - meaning people are beginning to ask when I am due (not just secretly suspect). It is much more fun this way. We find out on Thursday if the new baby will be a boy or a girl. I believe we have names picked out either way. They are leftover names from the last baby. It hasn't been long enough for us to change out minds.

Ryan is extremely busy with work - trying to grow the business in new directions. He hired a new employee who started today. Hopefully it works out.
