Pint-sized news

We've tried to share the news the best we can, but in case we haven't seen or talked to you in awhile, it's true, another little Faw is on their way! After seeing this book a couple of times, I finally had to get it. We're not sure if it's the subject matter or whether Macadam looks like the little boy and I, the mom, but he l-o-v-e-s this book! We read it to him at least twice a day. If you're expecting another child or know someone who is, this might be a great gift for the big sibling.

Now that the cat's out of the bag, I am sure more posts will be baby arrival related. We're due mid-June, which will probably be here before we know it!

Weekend away

We recently had our first weekend sans our little man (little men if you count Buster). It was fun, relaxing and very strange to not have him with us for two days. We're still not sure why it took us two plus years, but timing was finally right. We stayed at one of our favorite (okay mine) hotels, shopped, went out to dinner, and saw wonderful friends of which we don't get to see nearly enough. Our camera battery was on the fritz so photos are few.

Macadam had a fantastic time playing inside and out while at the farm. He may have missed us at some point, we still can't be sure.

Go Ducks!

Tonight Mac and I rooted for the Ducks and their quest for the national championship. It's like he knew it was going to be a nailbiter even though he had to go to bed during halftime. Since Buster's not nearly as good as Mac at giving high fives and yeling, "Go Ducks," it's been harder to get through the second two quarters. Here's hoping!

Just bust a move

My mom just gifted me with a Flip video camera for my birthday and after several months of not having a camera with video, we instantly caught Mac on tape. After misplacing a gift from his friend Jack of his favorite songs, we were able to play them in the car. We were pleasantly surprised with the second song (the first being from Elmo) being something Rob and I both loved in elementary school.

Happy New Year!

We had a lovely evening ringing in the new year with our good friends and it continued this morning with a walk on one of the most beautiful of cold, winter mornings. Macadam loved having the Mastans sleep over. His first words this morning (after he pretended to be sleeping by fake snores) was, "Where Ali go?" He was delighted when I said they were downstairs.
We think 2011 is going to be a good one, and wish the same to all of our wonderful friends and family.
