This first post is to introduce you to us. (for those of you who don't know us.)
I am the mommy Sarah; I just turned 25 this year, I am a stay at home mom! I am enjoying my new post, and love to spend time taking care of our children and home. I have many hobbies that I like doing which helps pass the time when housework is done and Andrew want's to play alone. They are Sewing, Knitting, Crocheting, Painting, Cross-stitch, Quilting, Embroidery, Writing. Not to mention several more things I'd love to try if I had the time. I am starting to get more in to cooking, I always have enjoyed cooking, but while working it was more quick meals and now I have time to make a full dinner like I grew up with. I have also started to try my hand at baking... Bread is going well and soon I hope to make my way through pie crust. I am on a mission to organize my home and make it look amazing for the few months we have here. Once our lease is up we will be moving so I am packing up stuff we won't use till after the move and getting rid of stuff we are never going to use again. I don't want a cluttered life or house anymore.
Kevin is the daddy; He also turned 25 this year. He is our bread winner, He works for a major corporation in Wilsonville, and has a second job for most of the year that is a 2 man company it is also based in Wilsonville. He is an amazing father and really loves to get on the floor and play with Andrew, he helps out around the house, but I have to admit since I came home there hasn't been much for him to do around the house. This year he traded his motorcycle and my ford explorer for a new car since our old one was dyeing. He works very hard for his family and is proud that he can provide for us. It must be hard sometimes since we are almost a family of 4 living on a 1 1/2 incomes, but we manage. He plays guitar, and bass (use to in a band, but those days are over) he still has a friend who he hangs out with once in a while to play. He likes to play video games and that has been something the whole family can enjoy together since Andrew is getting interested and loves to watch "daddy play gamecube!" He works the early shift so he is home by 3:00pm which is nice because it gives us family time to spend together before Andrew's bedtime and dinner, but during the busy season he won't be home till after the sun sets and so that will be a change then. (but there is still a good month or two before that.)
Andrew is our firstborn; He just turned 2 this year, and boy is he a ball of energy. He is jumping on the couch with a firetruck as I type this. He just moved in to his toddler bed in July and we have been working on potty training since February, not as easy as it sounds. He is very excited about being a big brother, and loves to talk about the baby and help get stuff ready for his new brother. He loves spider man, toy story, spongebob, hotwheels, playing music, singing, and just being a boy. His talking has improved so much in the past few months and now he can hold a conversation with you about things. It is so funny some of the things he says... Makes you wonder what's going on in his little head.
Patrick; EDD 12/01/2011 What can I say about our unborn child. I love him very much and am very excited to have him here with us. There are 9 more days as I type this, but I would love it if he decided to come sooner... as long as he is healthy. He kicks, gets hiccups, he stretches and is very strong. As painful and tired as he makes me I wouldn't change it for the world. I love that I am the one to carry him 9 months and provide for him what no one else can.You'll have to check back to see when he is finally here with us.
What more can I say about our family, We love each other very much and are doing the best we can. This blog is about us and the things we are going through. Sometimes it will be very happy, and sometimes it will be very sad, and sometimes life may just slowdown and give us a minute to stop and smell the roses.
We are inviting you with us on our journey through the next season of our lives.
Here's to change, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Sarah
