He's Here!!

Over the past 9 months I have shared with you my journey through our second pregnancy. I am happy to announce that our little one has arrived...It's a BOY! :) We decided to be surprised on the gender, so we were very excited when the doctor said "boy". We would have been happy with either, but just the idea of not knowing really had us excited. We are SO in love with our little guy, and so is big sister! I cannot wait to watch him as he changes and grows...and to see the two of them grow up being so close in age. I'm sure they will be great friends. :)

Blogging

I really enjoy blogging. I think it's a great way to keep a sort of journal as well as keep in touch with family and friends. The Internet is truly a remarkable thing. I love reading others blogs and I hope people feel the same about mine. The best thing about blogs, they just keep going. Youc an continue them forever if you want...even if you have times when you don't post as much as you'd like. It's great!

Monex Deposit Company

Have you ever heard of the Monex Deposit Company before? If so, then you probably know they've been around for over 30 years and are known as America's leader when it comes to the investment of us gold coins, silver and other precious metals. With Monex it's easy to purchase silver, gold and precious metals for immediate delivery or to arrange for it to be delivered to a safe storage facility. Now is the time to invest in Silver, so if you're looking for somewhere to go through, you may want to look into Monex. YOu can learn more on their website where you'll find a lot of helpful information.

Mom Blog

I have been working hard on my Mom blog these days. I actually am having a lot of fun doing product reviews and giveaways for my readers. I apologize if I haven't been as good to post here on this blog. I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things soon. I've just been busy setting some things up for the Holiday Season on my Mom blog and haven't had much time for anything else. Hopefully soon though. If you're interested in checking it out...just click on A Mom's Balancing Act in my Blog Roll along the side column.

Swimming Lessons

Kaelyn has been doing swimming lessons for a little while now. It's not quite what I expected...very unstructured! However, since she had never really had much exposure to the pool (besides the zero depth entrance this summer) I think it's been good for her. We don't have a membership to the Y so it's been a good experience and one I know she'll benefit from in the future. I wish she had more access to pools like this one, but for the time being she doesn't. Something is better than nothing I suppose.

Karisma

Scott and I would love to go on a vacation sometime in the near future. It's been quite a while since we've gone anywhere. Just for fun, we were looking online and found Karisma. The Karisma Hotels are a collection of properties on the beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya. This resort looks absolutely beautiful and sounds divine as well! They offer a new gourmet-inclusive concept, particularly great for those who love food like we do! They have elite service and a truly relaxing environment with many classy accommodations. When the time comes for us to look more seriously into a vacation spot...Karisma will definitely be on the top of our list. It would also make a great destination weddings location for anyone looking to get married. Check it out for yourself!

So Slow

Could this week go any slower?! It seems to be dragging on for some reason. I always enjoy for my weeks to go quickly and my weekends to go slowly...but it always seems to be the other way around. Do you find that too? I'm hoping that this next weekend isn't like that....we could us a nice relaxing weekend....as the next will be busy and full of painting. In some respects though, the weeks have been going by fairly quickly...I'm already 26 weeks pregnant and can't believe I'm almost to the third trimester already. I'm so excited to meet this little one...hope November comes quickly!

Kaelyn's Birthday Around The Corner

It's hard for me to believe that our little girl is over 21 months old already! Her two year birthday is in sight and I've already been starting to think about what we might do for it. I don't think we'll have a big party like we did for her one year birthday, but I will still make her a cake and big deal about it of course. :) She has many favorite things, but lately it's Elmo. I'm thinking about attempting my first cake and making her Elmo for her birthday. We'll see. I may need some assistance I have a feeling!

Monex Deposit Company

The Monex Deposit Company is one you may have heard of before, right? They make it possible for people like you and me to purchase silver, gold and other precious metals. What's so great about them is that they have fantastic customer service and want to please their customers. They even arrange for immediate delivery and safe storage of your items. For over 30 years they have been known as America's leader when it comes to the investment of gold, silver and precious metals. If you're at the point when you're considering investing, you should looking into the Monex Deposit Company. There has never been a better time to purchase silver because the demand for it exceeds production. Take a look at their website for more information.

Swimming

We don't have a whole lot for Kaelyn to do in our backyard so this weekend we got out the pool. She loves to swim and it was so nice out....so what better thing to do than that, right?! She loved it. We actually pulled the slide from her climber into the pool which she loved using to make a big splash. I think she could play for hours in there...it's just so much fun. We got lots of pictures, but this is just one showing what a great time she was having! Smiles are contagious, don't you think?! A picture says a thousand words!!
