Well, as you can see from the pictures, we had Christopher's 1st birthday party. I can't believe it's been a year! We had a Blue's Clues party, Jaime's friend Meggie did a great job with the cake. We had it at my parents and Rick& Kathy(my uncle and aunt), Jenny (my cousin), Carol (my cousin), her two boys, Eilio & Kyrelle, Lorae (close family friend), her 2 kids Lily and Jo-Jo, Joel's parents, Joel's Nana, and of course my family were all there. When we wanted C to blow out the candle (I thought he might at least try because he blows on food to cool it down), or dig into the cake; instead he grabbed the flame of the candle, but wasn't really hurt. Just a little scared of the cake after that! He got a bunch of presents, so we have tons of toys around the house, but that's ok, because we're about to have much more space for that kind of stuff. More about that later.....
We had a nice visit with Joel's parents, who were here from Florida; and his Nana, who came for a couple of days from Utah. Christopher got used to a LOT of Grandparent lovin' really quickly! I think we'll be undoing that for a while : )
So, we are entering into buying our first home. We are actually doing a lease option for a year, so we're not quite buying yet, but we're pretty sure this is the place where we're going to live for a few years. We can get at least 2 more kids in there. It's a condominium a little south of where we live now. We're buying it from a couple in our ward, and they've done some great things to it. Hardwood floors, custom cabinets, new appliances, etc. We didn't expect to be moving so soon, but the opportunity arose, so here we go! We're very excited, and a little stressed, but I think it will be great.
I think that's it for now. As always, we hope everyone is doing well!
