where have we been.....

What a year it has been! And I can't believe it's almost 2011 already?!?!? Where do I begin?

Well, I suppose I will just go in order.... when Allen got called back to work earlier this spring, we began our search for a new home. We were outgrowing our condo and knew we one day would want to expand our family and would need more room anyway - no time like the present! We had a little run of bad luck on our search only to have our prayers answered with the deal of the century, so we hopped on it and it is OURS! Even though we still have lots of work to do around here, we couldn't be happier, and even better - neither can Tyler.

This year I celebrated my 30th Birthday. I was not thrilled about it - but had great friends to surprise with a great night out on the town the weekend before. On my actual birthday (in the middle of the week - yuck) it was spent trying to help Allen re-finish our hardwood floors in the new house in preperations to move in. Well boy did I get the surprise of my life - as Allen down on hands and knees also scraping floors, he whips out a little box and says 4 little words I've been waiting for - Will you marry me? And needless to say......

Tyler is about to turn 3 in just EIGHT days now - I can't hardly beleive my baby is getting so big. We have been working feverishly with him on potty training - and I have to say to everyone who says boys are harder than girls.... you couldn't be more right. It has definately been a struggle but with rewards, encouragement, and jumping in both feet first we are getting there. I let him put on big boy underwear for the first time today actually and althought he did poop - he did NOT pee. Oh what a wonderful feeling! Tyler has also got to enjoy many new things this year including apple picking with Mommy, trick or treating in his new neighborhood, and helping decorate the Christmas tree. He is such a little man and we couldn't be and feel more blessed to have him (minus the rough days ya know).

Now that things are finally settling down (minus an upcoming birthday and Christmas and all that - oh and don't forget wedding planning*ugh*) I will be doing my best to keep blogging and a lot more often. Thank you if you have continued to follow me.

Kind Regards

The Davis Family to be
