Tis the Season

Too long it's been since my last post. Life is busy and only going to get busier. In 7 days we expect the arrival of our second daughter. We are extremely excited and can't wait to see our new family member. Izzy is more than ready to be a big sister and spends her time trying to convince Kari and I that she can hold the baby by herself, and can do while standing up as well. These details will need to be negotiated in the normal Izzy negotiation fashion . . stay tuned for results.

Izzy has been going to a new daycare four about 1.5 months. Anna (our previous daycare provider) grew ill so we found another solution. The place is about 5 blocks from our house and Izzy is loving it. There are about 10 kids there, and she sees it as "school". She's very social, so this environment is great for her. It offers lessons, outings and other positive stimuli as well as structure. It's nice to see her happy.

Christmas is always a fun time for us, and now that we have children, it's even more special. This year my mom is coming to visit for about 5 days and we can't wait. It will be nice to have Grandma around, and I am sure she's excited to be apart of our Christmas holiday this year.

In other news, I believe Kari and I have finally decided on a builder for our house. We are very excited and are looking forward to starting. At this rate with permits, drawings and overall building, I expect we'll be moving into our new house toward the end of next summer. . . sheesh! It's a long road but I know in the end it will be worth it.

As for everything else; it's steady as she goes. Kari and I are attempting to get work squared away before taking some time off for baby #2.

I'll post pics as soon as possible.
