For those that haven't been kept up to date, or we've lost touch with along the way, I will try to catch you up as quickly as possible.
September of 2007 was a big time for our family. Paul and I made it official at the beautiful Japanese Gardens (right down the street from our apartment). It was a truly magnificent day, and we were blessed to be surrounded by our family and friends. I can't speak for everyone there but I know that it is a day Paul, Alex and I will not soon forget.
The happy familyAfter the wedding Paul and I were lucky enough to spend a glorious week in Hawaii! Paul had been when he was little, but it was a first for me - trust me, I'll go back anytime!!! You can't help but feel relaxed while you are there, that is just the overall vibe on the island.
We rented scooters to ride around the island - they even pulled a green one out just for me!After that it was pretty much business as usual. Paul working for Countrywide while I continued at Cardservice.
Fast forward to September of 2008 and you find Alex starting 6th grade! Hard to believe the little munchkin I met when she was 4 years old was already starting junior high. She is, at this point, almost finished with 6th grade! Only 7 more days of school left - does it look like we're counting down? She has a radiance about her that draws people in. Her laughter is medicine after a rough day and her smile lights up any room. I have enjoyed getting to know her and look forward to watching her grow and continue to blossom into the amazing woman I know she will become.

Just turned 11 years old! (2-20-09)Ok - so my time line got a little goofed up. Rewind to December of '08. Paul and I find out we will be adding 1 more to our family in August! Joyous news all the way around. Alex, Paul and I spent a week at Christmas in Michigan with my mom and had much fun building snow men and exploring the Detroit Zoo. We were also surprised to find out that my cousin Rebecca is expecting her first little one as well . . . . in August! I'd love to say we planned it that way, but alas it's just another instance of great minds thinking alike.
My pregnancy has for the most part been smooth. We found out March 25th that we are having a little boy! We could not be more excited to meet our little man this summer. I'm currently enjoying feeling him wiggle around (sometimes incessantly) and I think I've even caught him having the hiccups once or twice. I'm convinced he has quite the personality already. He doesn't much like people poking or prodding at him with anything, and has no trouble letting them know this by kicking or punching them away.
I think that brings us up to date for the most part. I hope to update here as often as possible, so if you are interested in reading what we've been up to feel free to stay tuned. With that I will leave you one more picture - one of the little wiggle worm still residing in Mama's tummy. Who do you think he looks like?
