Last night we celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary at Morton’s in Naperville. The weather was lousy, the dinner excellent, and the company the divine.
After many a “dry” run, Annalise finally achieved success on this monumental milestone! (Although I don’t think she was nearly as excited as Mommy was) Here’s hoping this is just the beginning.
Sean’s recently begun walking around, spontaneously counting to 5. We spent last evening at the Dupage Children’s Museum where the kids had a blast. When he wasn’t counting, Sean enjoyed singing into a cylindrical block “microphone”. In fact, Sean’s quite the musician. For months now, we’ve been trying for months to capture him singing and playing the piano at home. Unfortunately, the singing typically stops the instant the camera comes out. Here’s our best video to date.
A couple days ago I learned that a close personal friend of mine was hospitalized with what was described to me as a “mild” heart attack. He’s going in for triple-bypass surgery next week. I guess we should be thankful that he received this “warning” in time and that something can be done.
It’s been rather busy around the house, and I’ve been trying to find the time to create this new, consolidated blog. Consequently, we’ve yet to post an entry to say that — we’re expecting our third! The due date is November 10th. A couple weeks ago, after returning from Las Vegas, we went in for our “20 week” ultrasound. Grandma and Aunt Bethie were there when we learned … it’s a boy and here he is:
The day after my birthday party, Suzy and I left for 4 days in Las Vegas. Except for the part where they tried to sell us a time share (oh, wait…I mean “vacation ownership”), it was a fun, relaxing trip. We gambled (and lost) a whopping $3 in a “Mega millions” slot machine and walked along the strip in the 116 degree “dry heat”. A definite highlight of the trip was our Hummer tour of the Hoover Dam and the evening we spent listening to the “one man band” in the bar at the Golden Nugget. Niiiice! Thanks for watching the kids, Mom and Dad!
We’ve decided that maintaining separate blogs for each child was simply not going to scale. So now we’re consolidating. All of the previous post from the original sites have been imported. We hope you like our new home!
Annalise is definitely not a baby anymore. She graduated to a “big girl bed” today after boycotting her crib for the past 2 weeks! She goes around singing ABC’s and can count to 13 consistently. She is such a good big sister to Sean.
