Hello everyone! Just a quick note to say hello and we hope to have pics back up again soon! We've been on the move, living like gypsies, and little Liam has been quite the trooper! After the big move and road trip, we temporarily settled at Grandmommy & PopPop Parisi's house. Liam got used to living there and started sleeping really well. He then celebrated his first birthday with a party and had a nice visit from Grandpa Petersen. Thank you to everyone who gave gifts and we have not been able to thank personally. Liam really appreciates them! He will send out thank you notes soon. The day after his birthday, we headed down to Hampton Roads to house hunt. For one week, we searched like dogs for a house that met all of our requirements, nice neighborhood for Liam, the right size, a yard for Ella, and in our price range. We looked at many, many houses, and finally we found one that we love. We put on offer on it and it has been accepted. So now we wait until closing, which will be in early October. Meanwhile, we were staying at a hotel, and now with a friend down here, Liam is going to go insane!!! He has been such a good boy, driving around town. We could have driven to Alaska with the amount of time we spent in the car!!! Today, Liam is finally starting to get fed up with Mommy & Daddy's shananigans and is telling us by sleeping like a newborn at night. Needless to say, it will be nice to get settled again...oh wait, that's not until next month!!!! He has also decided to walk full time...no more crawling and now freaks out if he can't have something he wants. We would say, he's officially a toddler.
He really enjoyed the beach that we went to yesterday. It is a gorgeous beach, with jets flying over every 10 minutes which is different. I wish I had pictures to show, but I accidentally packed the attachment with our furniture making it difficult to download the pictures.
Anyway, he was super curious about the waves and ran up to them eagerly, only to be terrified of them when they hit his toes. Later on, when Daddy was in the waves, he ran over to him to try and tell him to get out, before they washed him away. Daddy didn't listen, and Liam cried until Daddy was on dry land.
We are over this whole moving thing. Hopefully, when we move here, we can stay awhile.
Congratulations to Yvette & Alex on baby Nathan!!! He is a beautiful baby boy. Liam cannot wait to meet his new pal!
