Bad Blogger!

I have been a horrible blogger lately. I just can't seem to get ahead or even just catch up lately. I have gone back to work part time and it has been very overwhelming. I never really thought that I would have to put my baby in daycare, but life is full of changes!! It has been sad to be away from him so much, but hopefully this is an opportunity for us to get straight with our finances and maybe pay off all our debts. Right now it is barely replacing my unemployment, but hopefully that will change as well.

It has been a busy summer. Here are some pictures to tell the story!

Last Day of the First Year!

Wow...our little man turns 1 tomorrow. It has been the most increduble year for Paul and I. Probably the worst in our 11 years for us financially, but it is funny how insignificant that seems now that we have Talan. He is such an incredible blessing.

It is officially time to retire this book :(

Daddy and Talan Playing the Drums

This past weekend was Pauls first fathers day. We didn't do anything too exciting, but I got to think about what an incredible father he has been since day one. The love that he has for our son is imeasureable. He steps right in the moment he gets home from work (long stressful days at work). Unlike some dads he does not need to change, relax or grab a beer. He walk right in and grabs his son. It is so incredible to watch!

Rain Rain Go Away!!!

Talan loves to be outside and has ever since he was born. Well the weather has been so bad this spring that we have not been able to spend much time out there. Please sun come out so we can be outside everyday!!

Grandpa making mommy very nervous, letting me drive. (just in the driveway, but still!)

Hangin out inside again!

What else can I find to climb on!

Almost One!

It is so fun to watch all the wheels turning. Talan is becoming more and more "boy" and less and less "baby" by the day. He is really starting to listen to commands and try to tell us what he wants...most of the time by pointing and screaming, but hey it's something right??

We are busy here around the house getting ready for the big first birthday. Can't wait to celebrate such an awesome occassion.

Baths, Books, Balls, Mohawks and Walking!!

Talan is getting so big! Days are flying by and we are having a ton of fun. He loves baths, books and balls. He gets into everything and is learning more and more everyday. It is incredible to watch the wheels turn.

Reading one of my many books

I love playing in the bath (so do mom and dad)


Taking a little walk...oops gotta pick up some balls on the way!
