Some news January 23, 2007

Normally I don’t have anything to write about, but this time I kind of do. Daniel’s company got bought out last week. You can read about it here. We’ve known it was coming for some time because Daniel was having to work on structuring the deal. Unfortunately, the company itself didn’t handle things very well. They told the local newspaper about it, so it hit the paper on the morning the head honchos were supposed to tell the employees. Basically this means that whenever the deal closes, Daniel is out of a job. Soooo… we’ve been looking at our options and seeing what’s out there. Actually he’s already found out about several jobs in the same field he is in right now, so we’re not too worried about his finding work. We might have to move, but hey we’re pros at that, right? Morgan Stanley really wants to have the deal closed by the first part of April, which is right after this baby boy of ours will be making his debut into the world. But I think everything will be ok in the end.

I realized when I made the previous post that Amelia actually says a lot more words than I posted about. She loves to say hi and hello, especially when we’re in a store. She’ll just say hi out of the blue to people in the aisles. She’s still saying bubbles too. It’s really cute to hear.

That’s all from here again. I’m really bad about figuring out how to close my blog entries!

 

Suppose I should update January 13, 2007

I just finished typing up a list of stuff that Amelia has done in her life by month. I realized that I need to type more of that kind of stuff in this blog to remember it.

She says a few words now. She’s all the time saying “uh-oh,” especially when she has purposely thrown something down. It’s pretty cute. She says Daddy pretty clearly now, but still won’t say Mommy at all. The other day when we were blowing bubbles, she kept saying “bubba.” That was cute. She loves to rock on her rocking horse. Last night she sat rocking on that thing for the longest time.

Baby boy is kicking me a lot lately. My feet are still their normal size. I hope they stay that way!

Other than all of that, we’re still just plugging away down here. This is Daniel’s super busy month, so he’s at work today. In addition to the normal January work, there has been another development at work that is keeping him even busier than usual.

 

And a Happy New Year… January 1, 2007

Well, at least I stayed up until the ball dropped. Give me credit for that. Never mind the fact that I was then in bed by 12:15! But Amelia woke up shortly after 7:00 this morning, so it’s all good.

We had a good Christmas. We went down to Ft. Pierce on Saturday morning (the 23rd). Amelia entertained everyone quite well while we were there. All of the siblings came over on Christmas morning and we had Christmas lunch and opened presents.  I think it was determined that next year we will open presents before eating because after lunch the older kids decided to go to the tree and just “look” at the presents! LOL They all made out like bandits of course! Amelia didn’t quite understand what was going on, but she still had fun. And she’s still playing with all of her new toys now instead of her “old” ones.

Daniel is gearing up for his crazy January tax season. We’ll miss seeing him as much. He’s been home this past week except for 2 days when he went to work. Amelia really enjoyed getting to play with Daddy so much.

Oh, someone asked me how the Scrapbook Survivor ended up. Well I made it to the final 3 and then got voted out. It was fun to make it that far!

 That’s all from our neck of the woods for now!
