Boy Number 2

That's right we are having another baby boy. Christina and I are proud to announce that we are expecting again. It has been a very long road to get here. Many people know that we lost 2 babies after we had Lucas to miscarriages, but we finally feel like we are in the clear with this pregnancy.

We went to the doctors office last week and had anultra sound that showed the baby is doing very well and all is going according to plan. Christina was so very relieved. The last time she was in that room she got very bad news but this was a different story. This time she was crying tears of joy. We are both very excited and Lucas is too. I will do my best to keep things up to date on the blog again. With Facebook now everything is different and more knowledge is spread fast but this is still my main way to give information about the pregnancy out.

First Sleep Over

Lucas had his first sleep over this weekend. He went to stay with his buddy Trace. Trace is the little boy that Christina watches during the week. He had a really good time. They went to adventure landing. He told us all about the fast cars, playing putt-putt, and laser tag. We talked to him before he went to bed and he was all wound up so we knew that he had a good time. He woke up in the middle of the night looking for his mommy but Trace's mom was able to get him back to bed. We went to pick him up in the morning and when we got there he didn't want to go. He had to ride the horses first (Trace lives on a horse farm). So we watched while the two boys rode the horses. When we finally got home he took a 3 hour nap. They played hard.

31!!

No, not the magazine that sells hand bags, but the age that Christina turned last week. That's right folks Christina is older than I am again. It only lasts two months but I like to rub it it when I can. Luke and I took her out to dinner at Olive Garden on Thursday (her actual birthday). We then traveled to High Point to spend the weekend with her sisters and Dad. All in all, it was a pretty nice weekend. Christina received some new pj's from Lucas and I got her two new charms for her bracelet. She loved both. The kids played in the pool since it was so hot out and hopefully i will be able to get some of the pictures up this week.

3 Year Check Up

I have not posted in a LONG time but i want to rekindle the blog. Christina and i have been doing well. It has been a very hard and emotional year. There have been many looses and we still have heavy hearts. We are moving past these tragedies and taking small steps everyday.

Lucas is still a wild man. We love him so much and don't know what we would do without him. We had his 3 year old check up yesterday and the doc said everything was going great. He was 39" tall and 30 lbs. That ranks about 75% for height and 20% for weight. Tall and skinny just like i was when i was little.

I hope to add some pictures soon and see if i can keep the motivation to keep up with the blog.

Long Time, I know

Well, It has been a long time since I have posted and there have been a ton of things that have happened since then. To start my new job is going very well. It is much more flexible than retail and I get to spend more time with Christina and Lucas. I don't have to work weekends anymore witch is great. Luke is doing great. He had a great time at the beach with Christina's family. He loves the water and played in it all week. He did not care weather it was the ocean, the pool, or the hot tub. He really like the hot tub. (We turned the temperature down so it was more like a bath tub for the baby's) I have some pictures from the beach that I will try and get up later this week.

Luke is now "sleeping " in a big boy bed. We made that transition last weekend. It has not been the smoothest, but we are working our way through it. He like to get up in the middle of the night and pound on the door. Sounds really cute but its not really.

He also had tonsillitis two weeks ago. We had gone to the lake that day and when we came home he had a fever of 104.7 and that was a little scary. Christina and I were pretty worried but it turned out to be not that big of a deal. No medicine from the doctors they said he had to just fight through it. I felt bad for the guy. The good thing that came from it was that he was able to spend the week with his grandmothers since he couldn't go to daycare. My mom had him for two days and Cristina's mom had him for three. I know that they both really enjoyed it.

We are actually headed back to the beach next week with my family. We are leaving on Sunday and will be at the outer banks for a week. I will make sure that I get some good pictures and post them to the blog next week for all to see.

Good News, Bad New

Well we have good news and bad news. The bad news is that Daddy Day Care has to come to an end. Luke will have to go back to the babysitter. The good news is that I got a new job. I will be working as a statistician at RTI in the park starting after we get back from vacation. This is a big relief to our family. I found out last night and it has just now sunk in. So, I guess I will be back to work in a few weeks!!
