Fresh Start

It's been six months since I have posted anything! Who reads this ghost town anymore? I feel to overwhelmed and far behind to talk about most of the past. I want to blog more for myself, this is my little corner where I can reflect back on things. The best I can do is start now. I've been discouraged about how my pictures have been stored on my computer but I think that I have them organized well now. So here we go... For those of you who don't know, we are expecting in May. I'll be 7 months in a few days. I don't know the gender (yes, call me crazy but I don't want to know!). On the other hand Todd couldn't handle not knowing and he found out at our 20 week ultra sound. Crew is now 19 1/2 months old and is delicious. He is talking a lot lately. Half is understandable, half is gibberish! Here is a list of all the words I can think of that he says:
Mom
Dad
Basketball
Ball
Golfball
Football
Maun (Monster)
Thank You
Hi
Bye Bye
Choo Choo
Moo
Meow
Tick Tock
Done
Woof Woof
Fish
Shoe
Dog
Elmo
Oww Sii (outside)
Was Dat?
Vroom Vroom
Chooo (sneezing)
Tickle Tickle
Go Jazz Go
NO!
Yes (but not often)
(I know he says more but I can't think of anymore right now)

He has a major obsession with Basketball, I know he eats, sleeps, plays, and dreams it! It is his life (and mine now to)! We play some type of ball pretty much all day, everyday. Occasionaly we can sneek in a little Elmo (probably his second obsession to balls) and lot's of dancing. This kid has some pretty sweet moves. He also likes to read and play trucks. He is 100% BOY! We have established some pretty good habits. He is a great eater. I try to feed him pretty healthy food and he seems to enjoy it! Poor kid doesn't know any better.
The morning we flew to Italy, Delta called and changed our flight. Luckily they gave us a better flight and a credit to use towards a future flight. The credit expires in May so we have decided to go to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico and Cozumel, Mexico. We will be going in a few weeks and I can't wait! We will be doing a few tours. One of which will be swimming with dolphins! So excited to mark that off of my bucket list. I've heard that dolphins know when you are pregnant and they seem to flock to pregnant woman. Could be good or bad?!? I have to admit that I am a little nervous to go to Mexico. The drug cartel is pretty out of control! Wish my little family luck!
There was a tiny update about our lives. I hope to continue posting a little more frequent but at least this made me feel better for the time being. P.S. Is it just me or has blogspot posting changed?? I wanted to post a few pictures but the picture button to upload them isn't here! Also I don't know if this will make sense but this blog is a few years old and it downloads pictures different and the options of typing is different, such as color/font then my crafting blog which is newer. Long story short...Is there a way to update this blog with out having to start a new one?!?!? Thanks!

Just in case you were wonering Chynna, I read your blog! so yes, someone is still reading blogs...I guess that's what you do when you are miles away from everyone you know at home pregnant with no job :). good to get an update on your little family. and don't ask me about blog posting because to be honest chris does all the pictures and everything so you should ask him.

We're still reading your blog! Wow, Crew can say quite a few words. Hope your pregnancy is going well. That's cool that you're going to Mexico, how fun!

We use blogger in draft. Search for it in google and then check the box on your dashboard that says "make blogger in draft my default dashboard."

I will read your blog! It's been ages since I saw you, but I can't believe you're expecting again! That is fabulous. :) And I am jealous that you are going to Mexico, especially that you get to swim with dolphins! Lucky you. :)
