We're leaving tonight to begin our trip to Michigan! We should hopefully be leaving around midnight or shortly after! We're all packed and ready to head out, now we just have to wait until midnight!

Happy moving day Libby! How exciting for you! I can't wait to see you and Jackson and your new place!

Happy Anniversary! Today is our one year anniversary! I can't believe it's been a year already!

We'll see everyone soon!
Love to all

Eating Cheerios! He has to dump them out of the bowl and then eat them off the floor! He can't just take them out of the bowl and eat them! Posted by Hello

Not ready to leave the weather

I'm excited about going to Michigan, but I'm not excited to leave the weather down here. It's still in the 70's nearly everyday! There was a guy outside yesterday with no shirt, shorts and flip flops on! Can you believe that, in December! Is it snowing in Michigan yet? We're not even wearing coats down here all the time! It's going to be a big shock when we get there! We'll see everyone soon! We're leaving in a week!!!!!!!!!!!

Austin is such a big boy he can eat his own popsicle now! He is even good about sharing it! Posted by Hello

It's been awhile

I thought I might write an update...it's been awhile!

Austin's other front tooth finally broke through the skin this week! So now he has all four front teeth! He doesn't look like a jack-o-lantern anymore! He has also started walking on his own. He starts out by holding onto something then lets go and takes anywhere from 3-6 steps! He does so good! He doesn't do it all the time because he still knows that he can get somewhere faster if he crawls!

We've also been dealing with a semi-sick child for almost a week now. We took Austin to the ER last Thursday night because he woke up in the middle of the night vomiting and had a very high temperature. When we got him to the ER his temperature was 101.9! After that he never vomited again and his fever went down Saturday morning but he has had the runs ever since! His regular doctor said that it was a touch of the flu and he should get better by the end of the week! In the meantime he has been extremely crabby and has not had his usual appetite. He's on a liquid diet until it clears up and he gets his appetite back! I will be extremely happy when he feels better!

The countdown has begun for our vacation! We leave in 9 days to begin our long drive! We'll be leaving at midnight on Friday the 17th and we're looking forward to seeing everyone during the holidays! We'll see everyone soon!

Austin thought he'd help himself to taking his leftover cereal off the table and playing with it! By the time it was all said and done he had cereal all over his highchair, all over himself and all in his hair! Oh well, he cleaned up just fine with a bath! Posted by Hello

Here's the one under his eye! You can barely see it because his cheek is scruched up! Posted by Hello

Here is the black eye where he ran eye first into the coffee table! Posted by Hello

We've got snow...

Just Kidding! There is frost on the ground this morning! It kind-of reminds me of snow!

Austin has started doing lots of new things since my last update! He now dances when he hears music, claps his hands and is starting to take some steps! I stand him up in the middle of the living room then go in front of him and he takes steps towards me! Usually he ends up lunging himself at me after a couple of steps but this morning he got really brave and let go of the table to take a step before loosing his balance and falling on his bottom! But it's a start!

He has also achieved two black eyes this week! The first one he opened the entertainment door into himself and got a bruise under his eye. Then last night he dove eye first into the coffee table with the other eye! So now his has one above his left eye and one below his right eye! Check out the pictures!

Only two and a half weeks before we head up to Michigan. We're getting excited and I know everyone else is! We're looking forward to seeing everyone! Hope everyone has a good week!
