4 Months Old

I can't believe Kaden is 4 months old already! Where does the time go? He's growing so quickly. It seems that little baby stage didn't last long at all! He's an incredibly happy and content baby....very easy to going! He loves his sister to pieces and enjoys playing with her whenever possible. We feel truly blessed to have Kaden as the newest addition to our growing family...he is such a joy! I look forward to watching him grow and learn new things over the coming months.

Gold Bullion

I have some interesting information I wanted to share with you. Thanks to The Capital Market Supervisory Boards, the Gold exhange-traded funds will soon be hitting the Thailand stock market. Isn't that great? The Capital Market Supervisory Board looks after the rule making for the Thai capital market and they recently agreed to permit two types of gold exchange-traded funds into their market. I really didn't know a whole lot about this, but had the opportunity to learn more and was very glad I did. I enjoy learning new things like this about where to buy gold bullion.

DVR

We recently got a DVR. We have never had one before, so it's pretty fun. We love being able to record all of our favorite shows and watch them when we have time, rather than missing them during the week. I have a feeling we're going to be getting quite attached to it, and if we ever decide to get rid of it we'll definitely miss it. I think we're going to get quite spoiled. If you don't have DVR though, I would definitely recommend it.

Time flies

Wow...is it already February? I feel like Christmas was just yesterday. It's crazy how fast this year is going already. Our little guy is going to be three months old this month. He's growing like a weed. I can't believe it. It seems like 2010 will just fly by as I think of the coming months and how busy we'll be. The years just keep passing by and our kids keep growing way too quickly. Sometimes I wish time would just slow down a bit....so we can take every moment in and enjoy them to the fullest.

Jewelry

I am a girl who loves jewelry and one who has a hubby that enjoys buying it! He's very good at it too. Recently he got me some diamond earrings, but was also saying how he'd like to get me sapphires at some point too. I did a little looking on my own and found some amazing cubic zirconia earrings from Holsted Jewelers.

Holsted Jewelers offers fashionable and affordable merchandise for tastes of all kinds. I love that they have a wide assortment of great designs and styles. I like to have jewelry that not everyone else has and that's why the one of a kind jewelry found here is great for me. They are known for their service and their high standards which is just another reason of many that I'd love to do business with them.

Cousins

I have a twin brother and we have quite a bit in common. We've kind of followed the same path in life, and many find our story to be quite interesting. We grew up obviously going to the same school with the same friends. We graduated at the same time, shared/share all of our birthdays and even went to the same college and graduated from there at the same time as well. The story gets more interesting after that though. We were married just 8 days apart and had our first children just 12 days apart. Last March we got a call from them that they were expecting their second baby...little did they know, we were too! Now we both have our second children and guess what...they were born just 12 days apart. Isn't that crazy?! We enjoy telling the story, it's pretty neat. I'm glad our kids will grow up so close in age.

Here's a picture of Kaelyn and her cousin Emry on their first Christmas together (2 years ago) and then Kaden and his cousin Israel on their first Christmas together (this year). Kinda fun to compare. My how time has flown.

Our Blessings!

Our little man is already over a month old...where does the time go? I found myself saying the same thing with Kaelyn too...but it's just so true. I can't believe that he is now officially out of newborn diapers, out of newborn clothes and already gained almost 4 pounds! He's becoming quite the big boy and is even rolling over. They are at that tiny stage for far too little of time. I miss it already. It is fun to see him growing and learning new things though. Recently he just started cooing more and smiling some...so cute! Here's a pic of Kaelyn and Kaden from Christmas....

Family Vacation

Having two kids now, we definitely need to start planning vacations which include a Kid friendly hotel. Before we didn't have to think of this, but as they continue to grow and get older, we need to find a place that offers things for them to do as well. I'm looking forward to this summer, as we've already started to discuss what we might do. I'm leaning toward Karisma Hotels, but my hubby wants to learn more about them first.

I think they'd be a great option because they are first of all, very beautiful and located right on the beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya. They offer an all inclusive gourmet concept which would be perfect for us...as we love food! I also like the fact that they are known for their great service and fantastic, luxurious accommodations. We need a place that is not only fun, but relaxing, and from the sounds of it...Karisma Hotels would offer just that.

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!
