Did we surprise you?

Yep, you read that right. We are expecting baby #2 in late August. Trayton is going to be a big brother! We heard new babies heartbeat last week at the doctor's office, beating like it should and sounds like a train! We are happy to report the good news, more to come on that. Mommy is doing just fine, tired, but other than that feeling normal. Trayton is already pointing to my belly and saying "baby". We are looking forward to entering this new chapter in our lives.

Trayton is talking up a storm and repeating more new words everyday. He is one smart little kid. I recently broke him of his pacifier, and now that I see how easy it was, realize maybe I was the one who didn't want to give it up. We've played in the snow briefly this winter, as the temps have been above normal and snow fall below normal. Hopefully we get to spend some more time outdoors after the big storm hits tomorrow.

Vacation at Shanty Creek

We traveled up north to Shanty Creek Resort to enjoy a family vacation. We stayed at Snowshoe Condos for five nights with Dan's parents. A great time was had by all, and boy are we exhausted from all the fun. We saw dozens of deer, and turkey's on the grounds and Trayton loved every minute.

We swam in the pool, got warmed up in the hot tub and even went fishing! A few of us took a walk to the end of a peninsula off Old Mission Pointe in the Grand Traverse Bay to find a huge pile of rocks. Next time we go we hope to take a walk across the water to the island nearby. The rocks in the water seem to go on for miles, I wonder how shallow it really is? I'm not sure who loved having Grandpa and Grandma around more, me or Trayton. He sure loves to see all those that love him! It was nice to have Unlce Mike come for a couple days too. All in all, we really enjoyed the time away from the daily grind. We were glad to come home, only to have a full weekend ahead with Thanksgiving day right around the corner. Happy Holidays everyone.

Dan and I are almost celebrating 3 years of marriage already! We are greatly enjoying parenthood, and wonder what we did before we had our son. He is 6 months old already and is getting ready to creep and crawl all over the place. Where does the time go!
