2009 has been a busy year in our house. So much so that we sort of forgot about this blog.
Our biggest news is that our son Finn was born on June 2, weighing a very healthy 8 pounds, 2 ounces and measuring 21 inches in length.
The following month we celebrated Ellie's 2nd birthday. Hard to believe she's two already! The past year has just flown by as we've watched Ellie go from a non-walker to a walking, talking toddler. Like all two-year-olds, Ellie is going through a bit of the Terrible Twos. She's opinionated, dramatic, and downright fabulous.
On September 12, Ellie got to be a flower girl in Uncle Matt and Aunt Ashley's wedding.
Ryan was a groomsman, and I was a bridesmaid. It was a lovely ceremony and reception, and we're happy to welcome Ashley into our family!
Unfortunately, September ended on a bit of a sour note. Wrigley had a partial tear of his CCL (the dog version of the ACL), and has been recuperating for the past several weeks. He spends all his time in his crate or on his leash, so that he doesn't further injure his leg. Poor dog just wants to run out in the yard like he used to!
And of course I couldn't have a baby without having an organ removed afterward, because that seems to be my thing. This time, it was my gallbladder. I had surgery a few days ago, and am now on the mend, although I have to stick to a modified diet for a while.
And finally, Finn will be baptized on October 18th at Saints Peter and Paul in Naperville. This is the church in which we were married and Ellie was baptized, so this is very exciting and special for us. Finn will be wearing the baptismal outfit that his daddy, uncles, and Papa wore.
We do still keep up with our Shutterfly site, although you need to be approved on our account to view our pictures. Please let me know if you'd like to become our Shutterfly friend!
Oh, and because we're nearing Christmas, it's time once again for the shameless plug of our Amazon wish lists. You can find those on the right.
Happy Fall, everyone!
