Family Update: Hello, 2011!

May 2010... seriously? Is that really my last entry? Wow! Where do I start?

In June 2010, we bought our home in Virginia Beach. It was the most ridiculous home-buying experience EVER! We made the big offer on our home in April, but then waited 6 weeks for a closing date to be established, causing not only countless moments of frustration, but SIX moves from rental to rental during those six long weeks. It was insane! But, well worth it all. :)

We didn't wait very long to bring in a new addition to our new home... Judah Levi! Our baby boy was born December 23, 2010 at a whopping 9 lbs., 3.5 oz. and 23.5" long. He is now 2.5 months and weighs 13 lbs. and over 2' long!

Josiah has grown 8" taller since our March 2010 move to Virginia, and is a solid 40 lbs., 40" and will be 4 years old in just THREE months! He enjoys swinging on his swingset, riding his new bicycle, taking extremely long bubble baths and singing to his baby brother. He recently began gardening with his daddy and enjoys that very much! I am working with him at home to get a headstart on the PreSchool stuff, using different books and teaching methods to make sure we're having fun and taking it slow, while building a nice foundation for when his school years begin. He is LOVING tracing his letters and numbers every morning, learning to write his name and doing hands-on activities to learn basic, "little boy" stuff.

Now that our family update is complete, I'll get back to the ol' cake thing. ;)

Live Sweetly!

XO,
Chara & Her Gents'
