My BIG Little Life

Some may find my blog boring and somewhat mundane because it is simply a documentation of the 'happenings' in my life, which is why I call it "My Big Little Life." It's a huge and happy life to me, but my family is what makes it huge and happy. I love that friends and family read my blog, but it's certainly not an expectation. If you do read it I hope you can get a sense of how I live and what makes me happy.

Finally Updating...

I always forget to update my blog and then it dawns on me that it's been a while.... not sure who reads, but I really update it for myself-- I like to document so I'll never forget about the details to my sweet little life.
Colston will be ONE year old in just 20 days! We are having a birthday party for him on Nov. 20th. Luckily it falls on a Saturday. It will begin at 3:30 and end at 5:30. I like children's parties b/c you can put an end time on the invite. I have a feeling I will be ready for the party to be over at 5:30. I didn't invite any of his "friends" this year and will wait until next year or the year after for that. We invited family and a few of our adult friends. My mom and dad will be coming and staying with us for the weekend. They haven't seen Colston in a while so they are looking forward to spending some good old QT time with their only grandson.
C Bird is cruising around and wants to walk badly. Any day now he will just surprise us with this first step. My mom said I took my first step on my first birthday and Erin saw me and quickly followed a day or two later. Maybe C will do the same... he is into everything though. I can't just put him in one spot anymore, do the dishes and think he will still be there. He follows me everywhere and particularly enjoys the task of laundry-- drying the laundry. He stands in front of the dryer and just watches it go round and round.
When Daddy gets home at 5:30 you would think the world stops and all that matters is watching him walk through that door. Daddy is just as happy to see C every evening. It's so sweet.
Today is Halloween!! Colston is an octopus this year, but Kyle isn't feeling well so I'm not sure if we'll get to walk around with him like we had planned. We will dress him up and hope for some trick-or-treaters.
I'm 8 weeks pregnant and feeling well. I have told most friends, but not all. I have been telling them as it comes up or as I see them. I guess after my next ultrasound (Nov. 9) I will tell the rest of them and then make the announcement on Facebook-- assuming it's a positive appointment. Due June 11th! I think it's another boy and will be surprised if it's a girl. Kyle and I don't really have a preference, as long as we have another healthy baby.
