2011 Yeah! Good bye 2010!!

WOW- What a year!
Here is our year in review-

Maren joined our family February 26, 2010 (what a doll face)
Had complications with recovery had two additional operations

Steve Graduated from VCU with a Masters in Urban and Regional Planning
YEAHH!!!

Steve got a job with ICF International and we moved up to NOVA! (scary)

Traveled to Utah for a family reunion-

Found out in August some devastating news about a family member- changed everything.
I still have huge issues with this... obviously.

Stacie had another operation the day before Thanksgiving...

Enjoyed Christmas with our new friends the Cardwells and Smiths!!!

Maren broke her tibia 8 days after the new year!!

FUN HUH!

Any who! Steve and I adore our kids and each other and we are grateful for all the we have been given~! I think that that is the most I have ever written on this thing... And just to show how much I never blog... I forgot my password to log on. Haha got to love it.

Adam's New Look

Daddy! Look what we did! Do you like it? Huh, huh? Do ya?

No pain, no gain.

We Are MOVING!

We are moving to Northern Virginia at the end of the month! We are so excited about this awesome opportunity - Steve got a job with ICF International. He will be a consultant for them. We are so very sad to leave Richmond - we love it here and love all of our friends, but we are also excited to see what the future brings.

Anywho...Adam and Maren are doing great- I can't believe that she is almost 3 months! Adam has been sick this week, but it has been good- I have ironed 20 shirts, packed boxes and cleaned. (Steve's final presentation is this upcoming Tuesday we are hopeful and SO totally STOKED to have grad school over with!! YEAH a billion times!)

Sweet Sweet Baby-

Confessions of a Hormonal Wife...

So I guess that I should admit that I am preggers! I am 15 weeks preggo (translation PREGNANT!) We are super excited and scared! We would be more excited if I wasn’t so sick all of the time and generally miserable. I am starting to feel slightly better –but still not up to where I was when I was pregnant with Adam. We are due February 22^nd- Most exciting. So only 5 more weeks til we know the gender. Steve has been my knight in shinning armor. He has taking such good care of me and Adam. He has been so kind and sweet during my “hormonal tidal waves” (as he likes to call them). He told me last night that he didn’t realize how much I do around the house until I got really sick and I STOPPED managing the house. It was sweet of him to say. But things are going better. I am starting to make dinner again – I made Homemade Macaroni the other night ( a first time for a homemade meal in a while) and Steve couldn’t get over how good it was- (Cute huh – because it wasn’t that great!) Anyways

I Hope things are on the up and up!

Stacie

Adams 3rd Birthday!
