Halloween, Birthday and Christmas!!!

So it has been so long since I have posted anything I don't know where to begin! Here is a sampling of what has been happening around here. I will post more later, but to tide you over, check out a few pics from Halloween, Chloe's birthday (12/6) and Christmastime with Grandma and Grandpa!!!

Sorry about the time off!

Hey everyone! Sorry about the time off. I have been having problems with downloading pictures on my computer. I will have you all updated on Halloween and Thanksgiving as soon as I resolve the issue.



So tomorrow is Chloe's first birthday! (12/06/07) I can't believe it has been a year already! We are getting ready for the big day. It's going to be a Princess party. Kids, Kids, Kids!!!



So we have survived the first year! What a year it was! We made it through Dislocated hips, thrush, collic, ear infections, colds, diapers, pediatrian appointments and sleepless nights! For those who have kids you know that the list I just gave is VERY small. I just couldn't post everything! Would I trade if for anything in the world? No way! What can I say? She is just beautiful.


So I will be sure to get my pictures done soon to get you all updated. There will be plenty of pictures taken tomorrow I am sure!

Thanks for looking!!

Hannah

So last week we lost a member of our family. Hannah was our 7 year old longhaired dachshund. She ruptured a disk in her vertabrae, freak thing really. The vet tells us that it is unfortunately common in dachshunds. So needless to say, we are missing her terribly.

I wanted to repost a picture from a few months ago with Chloe in her swing. You'll notice Hannah in the background just taking it all in. The other two are just Chloe and Hannah playing.

You never know when your pets will be taken from you. Make the most of the time that you have.

We miss you Hannah.

Bathtime!

So who doesn't love a baby in a bath?!

Crawling, Fantasy Football and Green Day?

So Chloe started crawling this week. WOW! She has become mobile! We are now proud owners of a baby gate, (professionally installed by me, thank you), and many, many, many outlet covers (which by the way are VERY hard to get off!) Yes, I know that is the point! Anyway......

Chloe and Chris accompanied me to my Fantasy Football draft last week. She played, slept a little and even had an alcoholic drink! (I'm talking about Chris! Jeeeezzz) Chloe had a great time also! She got many compliments. I have posted a few pics here.

Lastly........

Now that the Olympics are over, I remember one of the announcers always commenting on just what is it that Michael Phelps was listening to on his Ipod? Well, we never found out. So I will tell you what I am listening to. My current album of choice is Green Day - American Idiot. Very good rock album. (If it keeps you moving while cutting the grass or vacuuming the house, it is good in my book! Seriously, check it out!) What are you listening to? Let me know!

The Christening was a success!

So the Christening was a huge success! My in-laws were up from Florida and had a great time with the baby. Here are just a couple of pictures. I will post more soon. Thanks to my father in- law for these. Here are just a few highlights of the day.....

Chloe loved her little white shoes so much she refused to get them dirty by actually wearing them.

She kept insisting that she wasn't Amish!

Thanks to Chloe's Godmother for making an awsome cake (mmmm homemade frosting)

Thanks to Chloe's Godfather for having to move his truck more than once. (That darn single lane driveway!)

Great food back at the house!

Good times! Good times!

Thank you for all that were able to come, and for all that weren't, thanks for the best wishes!

Time for a Christening and In-Laws!

So Chloe will be Christened on Sunday! My in-laws, Julius and Maria Nagy are coming up from Florida tomorrow for the occasion. Boy are they going to be surprised when they see how big she has gotten! Here is a picture of Maria with Chloe back in February. (Yup, sleeping again!) I will be sure to have some pictures of the special occasion posted soon!
