Well its that time again to fill you all in on our busy lives. It has been really busy but very exciting the last few months.
I must start off with Lindsey of course, she is the little Princess of the family. She is getting so big and starting to really become a kid now. She is crawling all over the place and getting into everything, including Cody's water bowl and food, trying to get figure out how the doggy door works, and of course playing with all of daddy's electronics....she is a monkey. She is also pulling her self up by the couch and coffee table. She had recently started taking a few steps to move back and forth, not yet walking but really trying. She is about 19 pounds now and is wearing about 9 month clothing. Her hair is starting to turn a little lighter but still brown. She has not gotten any more teeth since her first bottom two have come through. Lindsey is just getting over her first cold. She woke up last Thursday with a fever of 100.4 and a very runny nose, she was very congested and miserable. Her fever finally broke last Friday afternoon but the runny nose has seem to stay. We are going on day 5 and she is still sneezing a little, the doctor said baby colds can last as long as adults that have colds which can range from 5-7 days. She has been taking longer naps which is helping her get better faster. What can I say our little Lindsey is a trooper...and hoping she will be back to her little self soon.
Richard is doing awesome, he is still working for a Human Resources company and was recently promoted at his job to a Department Supervisor in IT. We are very excited for this promotion and has been a long time coming for Rich. He has worked very hard to get this and is doing a great job in his new role. He left today to fly out to Washington, DC with his boss to conduct some interviews to hire a new employee for his team. Lindsey and I are going crazy with out him. He is still working hard at the gym and preparing for his half marathon in January. We will keep you all posted on his progress.
As for me the "mommy" I'm still working at Honeywell from home and loving every minute of it. I'm currently working 6am to 10am during the week and then I have the whole day to hang out with my favorite little person peanut. I have started going back to the gym, with in the last few weeks. Rich introduced me to a cycle/spin class, well I have been hooked on it ever since my first workout. I absolutely love it, I go three day's a week for an hour each time and burn between 400-500 calories at a time. So as you can tell I'm exhausted by the time class is over but it's such a great work out. If your not familiar with a cycle class basically it's a class were you bike with an instructor for an hour, instead of being out in the heat you are in a building on a bike instead. Since taking the class and eating better I have lost about 14 pounds....so it seems to be working. I'm also working with my trainer to help with weights. I have also been very rapped up with the Olympics, since I'm home all day with Lindsey, her and I are huge fans watching the various sports and cheering on United States as well as CANADA. Cody is great too, he enjoys the quiet time when Lindsey is napping since she is all over him when she's awake.
Recent Trips:
We have been the travelling family the last few months to Las Vegas, Nevada. I went with Lindsey in June for Sam's High School graduation. Then Rich, Lindsey and I drove there in July for Bill's 50th birthday celebration and then we drove back there about two weeks ago to visit once again. This last visit was not only to see my parents again but to see My Aunt Deborah (Bill's sister) and her husband my Uncle John. They flew in from Vancouver, BC in Canada for a week so we decided to take a trip to see them and introduce our little princess Lindsey to them. We all really had a good time together, laughing and playing games as a family. It was worth the trip. Grandma Vegas is coming in this Friday through Monday to stay with us for a visit in Phoenix, AZ. Grandpa Willy is travelling and could not join as well as Uncle Sam who will be starting his first community college classes. We are very excited for grandma to come and visit......especially mommy.....I can't wait.
