Back to Blogging!

I'm baaackkkk! Back, after a summer hiatus.  I told myself I would just take a month off because life was too busy but a month became a whole summer! It was a great summer full of some of the best memories to date and I realized...I missed writing, I missed sorting though our pictures and reminiscing over the memories.  So, I'm back and I have lots of news to share.

First, James is 2!!!!

Weighting in at a whopping 26lbs and 33 inches tall, this toddler might be tiny, but he has the biggest personality. He runs everywhere and says everything and he LOVES something fierce. He continues to be a snuggle bug, loves to cuddle, loves his blanket and passie. He has a crazy love for dogs and all things lawn equipment.  His super heroes right now are the men who mow and landscape our yard, he calls them "mow guys".  He is talking up a storm and has become quite a parrot.  A few of my favorite James'isms':

"I hold you?"- when he wants to be held
"maca-maca"- Harmonica
"Mama, what u doing?"
"Mama, where are you?"
"Naked Dudes"- when him and daddy take of their shirts and run around the house- Yes, I will get a picture of this sometime
"Opisis-sis"- Octopus
"I do!"- for all things Yes

He is at such a fun age and Dada and I are loving it; wishing we could freeze time. Pete said in the car to me the other day, "I never want this age to end" and I agree. Despite a few tantrums and button pushing, two has been a great age for our whole family.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY, MY PRINCE!

Yep, we are expecting another Shempp boy around March 1st. Could not be more excited for this blessing. "Mom of Boys", my new title, that I'm beyond words excited about.

To discover the gender of this 'bundle of joy', we celebrated with a Gender Reveal party. We had so much fun finding out this exciting news with some of our closest friends.
