Like Sara said, thanks to her I now have a creative way to keep everyone informed & up to date on the Blackwood Clan over here in Chesterfield, MI. The last month has been insanely busy for our little family. One of the biggest mile stones is that Dylan is starting to walk. He still resembles a little drunken sailor after a long night of throwing back Grandpa's cough medicine but he is walking, & making his mother a nervous wreck most of the time. But he will have the hang of it here in no time, then look out world! A week ago, while I was changing Dylan's diaper before daycare, he reached down & grabbed himself & looked up at me & said "pee-pee" then smiled. He was quite proud of himself, he is definitely his father's son!
In July we celebrated the marriage of my other best friend Kim to a wonderful guy named Trevor. The wedding took place up in Traverse City. It was a weekend long event, & so much fun. It was exactly how I envisioned Kim's wedding. We are still waiting for her to post the pictures from the Photographer, don't know if they were able to capture when Ben fell off the swing though...........
After July started to wind down, August picked right up for us, this past weekend we celebrated the up coming birth of my sister-in-law Valerie's baby. Anne (our other sister-in-law) & myself hosted her baby shower. It was a dentist's dream with candy displayed everywhere. Let me give you the explanation behind all the candy. Val's married name is Valerie RUTH, hence she is having a baby RUTH. So we themed the shower around that. Everything turned out even better than I expected, the parents to be received a ton of great stuff, & the mommy to be is the cutest pregnant women you've ever seen, Love Ya Val!! We have about 7 1/2 weeks to go until the little peanut arrives. I can't tell you how excited I am to be an Aunt.
This Sunday the 17th Ben turns the big 3 - 0. Not quite sure how he is taking this, but he seems to be doing well so far. He left this morning for a golf trip with his buddy Paul who lives in Chicago. Sunday we will have a house full to celebrate Ben's mile stone. More to come on the trip & party next week........
And finally the following weekend Ben & I will be celebrating our 6 year anniversary. We've been together for almost 10 years though. Some days it feels like 20, doesn't babe!
As you can see life never stops over here...... More to come soon!
Peace out!
New Year, New You
