Shoot. I feel like I'm already out of stuff to write. I should have saved some of the news instead of spilling it all at once.

I guess I'll just tell a Micah story: We've been working on animal sounds, and Micah's quite good at them, particularly the lion. The other day he was climbing up the stairs and I was standing down below watching. He was just cruising on up, and then suddenly he stopped, turned around and looked at me, let out an enormous fart, and then said, "Roar."

These are the times that I wish I was not the only adult in the room. Micah just didn't share my appreciation for the humor of it all.

The history on this blog tells me that the last time I posted anything was July 3, 2008. Today is November 22, 2009. So it hasn't really been that long if you think about it in the grand scheme of things. Like take eternity for example . . . what's a year and a half, really?



And besides, not that much has happened. Our lives are pretty boring.

Oh wait, unless you count Micah's first Christmas last December.

And then walking in on a robbery-in-progress at our apartment in Schenectady last January.

Oh yeah, and 'ellie's sister Sara marrying D's best friend Zach in February.

And then in May moving in with the Hopkins, who have seven kids.

And also Micah's first birthday.

And in August 'ellie's sister Becky getting married to the FIFTH Chris in the immediate family.

And then in September D' quitting his construction job and starting school at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute full time.

And then in October moving out of the Hopkins (who have seven kids) and in with the Fedors (who have a boy scheduled to arrive in April).

And then planning to move out of the Fedors' and into a place of our own shortly before Christmas.

Oh yeah, and the fact that we're expecting another baby to join our adventures on January 15th, 2010.



See, you haven't missed much.



I'm hoping to start blogging again because evidently things change fast around here. And for the things in the list above that have an interesting story (most notably last January's Schenectady adventure) I will try to fill you in a little more thoroughly along the way.



But for now, because every blog is better if it has a picture, here you go:
