Laptop Blues....

I truly love having a blog and try to keep up as much as possible, unfortunately my laptop died on me a couple of weeks ago and I have not been able to download pictures or write any blogs. I am on Marks' laptop right now and it makes me miss mine even more. Well, here is my latest update......



McKade is now 7 months old and just about the sweetest baby ever!! He has the best smile and the sweetest temperament. He loves his daddy and just lights up every time Mark walks in the room. I am really enjoying this stage so much. He still isn't doing a whole lot of moving around he now knows how to turn on his side but, he doesn't flip or anything. He sits up by himself and loves playing with his toys on the floor. He is just a little cuddle bug!!



Mavery has a birthday next week. She will be 9!!! Her last year in the single digits.....it makes me so sad. I can't believe how much she has grown and how the years just flew by. She is such a caring soul, so compassionate and dreamy. She loves to talk, talk, talk and has a real knack for making friends. I am so proud of her. We found a cute little puppy out here where we live a few weeks ago, he was so tiny and it was freezing outside, so we took him in, he is now Maverys new pet and to be honest he is a really great dog. I am glad we took him in because we recently found out that he was no more than 5 weeks when we found him. Mavery is asking for dog stuff for her birthday. LOL! We have started crate training him (with a box) and she is hoping to get a crate for her birthday. We'll see!!;)



Mark has been traveling alot lately. It puts alot of stress on me, not that he is around the house that much when he is home, but it is nice to run to the store without having to get McKade out, so the past 2 weeks have been very tiring, getting Mavery up and ready for school and also getting the baby up and trying to get everyone fed, all before 7:15 a.m., I have a great deal of respect for all the single moms out there who do this everyday and hold down a full time job, they are true heroes!! I am excited that in another week and a few days, Mark and I will celebrate our 1st date anniversary, it will be 10 years!! I can't believe it has been that long, I still remember that night so clearly. Well, I think that's it. I have no idea when I will be back on again. Hopefully my laptop will get fixed VERY SOON!

New Year

I have decided that this year is going to be so exciting. Lots of new things to experience and happy memories to be made. So far this year has been exciting, I found out there will be another baby in my circle of friends, I have Maverys' 9th birthday coming up, McKade will have his very first birthday, and Mark and I will celebrate 10 years of marriage. But, last year was a great year for our family, we added a couple of new additions and made new friends, moved into a new home, and learned all about sleepless nights again. Here are a few pics from the past year and there will be lots more to come in 2009!!
