18 months.

     A certain little guy turned 18 months over the weekend. It is almost hard to believe. You definately have a little toddler on our hands. Everyday he shocks and impressives me with everything he is learning. I dont know if it's just me, but he is one bright young man. He doesn't talk much yet, but he sure can understand everything I ask him to do.

     We spent the last week at my parents house. I haven't been writing for awhile and a lot has changed in the past few months. We have moved to Upstate New York, in the country, finally! My dream, well part of my dream has come true. My husband got a job transfer with the company he works for, in the town where we have been wanting to live for the past 4 years.  We are now only living 2.5 hrs from my family, which was one of my main reasons for moving. I really want Darwin to know his family. He enjoyed so much spending time with his Aunt and Grandparents last week and we didn't have to cry when we left because we are only a car ride away.

    We celebrated a special Grandmother's Birthday last week and it was the first time I had been with my mom on her Birthday for 12 years. Crazy! We also went to a very nice family picnic. It was great getting to see Aunts and Uncles and Cousins that I hadn't seen for a long time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Darwin spent most of last week playing in the dirt and mud, collecting rocks and riding his little truck. He also went to see the farm animals and play at the park. He had a very busy, fun week with his family.

    Now we are back home at our barn apartment on the hill. It is so beautfiul here. I will share pictures on another day.
